Description
Here's a REPRODUCTION set of Elvis' first 5 records that he made at Sun Record Co. These are not the Sun Reccord originals that were on breakable clay/shellac, these records were pressed on vinyl like the Rhino Record Classics that were reproduced at the end of the last Century, and are considered by some collectors to be a lot better in sound quality, they certainly don't break as easily, and, they display well. The labels are clean, no writing or stains, but may be starting to yellow from age. These records are mint or near mint as they have never been played, only handled for display mounting and removal for this sale. The sleeves are originals that came with the records. There are no chips, cracks, or warps, only possibly my finger prints from handling. These are great for DISPLAY at home, in an office, restaurant, museum, etc., or to PLAY in your 78 R.P.M. Jukebox and save your originals from play time. In a jukebox, it would preferrably have a light tracking arm! If you have a heavily weighted tone arm with a spike for a needle, these will not last long. A cobra tone arm would work best (1015's converted to Cobra, 1080's, and 1100's). Best playback option would be your high end turntable. The records are: #209 - "That's All Right" & "Blue Moon Of Kentucky"; #210 - "I Don't Care If The Sun Don't Shine" & " Good Rockin' Tonight"; #215 - "You're A Heartbreaker" & "Milkcow Blues Boogie"; #217 - "I'm Left, You're Right, She's Gone" & Baby Let's Play House"; and, #223 - "I Forgot To Remember To Forget" & "Mystery Train".
Please ask any questions you may have before bidding, no refunds/returns, and International bidders are welcome.

On Jan-25-12 at 15:23:52 PST, seller added the following information:There were only 50 sets of these records run before they stopped production due to an issue with the lablels duplicating the originals. As a result of the limited production, it is likely these records are even more rare than their original counter parts as well as more durable.
