Description

I would appreciate some input on this one, for all intents & purposes this record doesn't exist. I have researched dozens of websites to no avail, I've also tried to contact SUN Records in Nashville and haven't received any reply. Is this a bootleg? The closest I came to an answer was a live concert in New York on July 1st, 1956 that was recorded for a future TV show (both songs on this record were performed at that show, but at this date I believe Elvis was already with RCA records).Please note that it is definitely Elvis on this record, and definitely live. The numbers in the dead wax are U-158 on "I Want You.." side and U-159 on "Hound Dog" side.

If anyone out there has any knowledge on this recording please let me know.

- Grading System -

I try to grade on the conservative side

Near Mint: Usually the highest grade. Records from the 1950s & '60s in this condition are very rare. Vinyl looks almost new except for a feather scuff or two from being removed from its sleeve. Label should look nearly new. A record that has never been played or handled, and would normally be considered new, can still be Near Mint simply because it's been moved a few times, or has been stored for 50 years. Sometimes referred to as M-.

VG++ (Very Good Plus Plus): Beautiful collectible condition. Only the slightest of wear, light scuffs, no deep scratches. Very collectible.

VG+ (Very Good Plus): Very nice condition and better than you would expect from a record that's been played several times. The owner took reasonably good care of it and stored it in a sleeve or record case. Some scuffs and/or scratches but sounds good and does not skip. A VG+ and VG++ record is still quite collectible and above the norm for its age. This could even be a Near Mint record with a slight warp.

VG (Very Good): In good condition for its age, but more wear than VG+. Probably not always kept in a sleeve. Still makes for good listening and still collectible.

VG- (Very Good Minus): Generally not collectible condition unless it’s a rare record. This is what you would expect of a record owned by a party-going teenager in the '50s and '60s. Probably hasn't seen a sleeve since the day it was purchased. Maybe kept in a record carrying case. No skips. Okay for listening, especially if you don't mind some scratches and/or pops, but most dealers avoid records in this shape or below, unless rare.

G (Good): Lots of surface wear but still playable. The most confusing grade because "good" really does not mean good. It is actually in quite poor condition. Probably spent its life sleeveless and stacked with other records.
