Description: Certainly one of the finest known copies. No defects and appears unplayed. Absolutely gorgeous original pressing of Jerry Lee’s first record at Sun, released December 1, 1956. Beautiful vinyl with original gloss and no marks. Flawless labels. Includes original Sun company sleeve. A top copy which will definitely be your final upgrade. What would Elvis’s first Sun 45 cost in this grade? (FYI an unplayed copy is listed on Popsike as having sold in 2012 for $10,000!). Check my other listings for Carl Perkins first (rare!) record at Sun. An investment music history! Please email me any questions before buying and I will answer promptly. Free shipping! See my grading scale below. My Visual Grading Scale— Mint: A new record. I will rarely if ever use this grade. Near Mint Gem: My highest grade. A truly beautiful record approaching mint condition. Will satisfy the most discerning collector. Near Mint (NM): Appears almost unplayed. May show slight signs of handling or sleeve wear but no scratches or scuffs. Retains original gloss. Labels will be near perfect. A very high grade record that will satisfy almost any collector. The highest grade I will normally use. Excellent (Exc): May have a few scattered very light unfeelable scratches or scattered paper scuffs. Retains much of it’s original gloss. A high grade record that will satisfy a demanding collector. Labels will show very little wear. Very Good Plus (VG+): Will have several light unfeelable scratches or scuffs. May retain some original gloss. Labels may show light wear. Still a very collectible record. Very Good (VG): Will have quite a few light scratches or scuffs or other issues and possibly a few feelable ones. Labels may show a fair amount of wear. Record will appear a bit worn. Still a collectible record that will satisfy undemanding collectors. Good (G): Record will have many scratches (some deep), scuffs or other issues. Labels may show heavy wear. Will appear very worn. The lowest grade I will ever offer.
