Elvis Presley 78 LP on Sun records

[seriouspie]

Although not a pop music fan myself, my girlfriend (well oldster of 77 bless her) has a mint 78 in it's sleeve of Elvis's first LP on the Sun label before he started to record for Capitol. We're told this may fetch a few quid on ebay but haven't a clue if this is worth doing. Any advice welcome.

Cheers SP.

Need more details, serious. Did Elvis release an LP on Sun? Wasn't his contract sold to RCA?

[seriouspie]

I don't know Sol....... I'll enquire later and advise on this thread tomorrow.

I have Blue Hawaii, the first LP I ever bought.....would never sell it.

As mentioned Joe .... I don't know all the details but believe she told me she bought it in 1956.

I think this maybe a 78 rpm single and because of the similarity in diameter to a 33 rpm LP. They are getting confused l don't think LP's were around when Elvis recorded on Sun.

That's what I thought. There's a retro Elvis at Sun LP, but that's on RCA.

Now I'm 72 years old and the first LP l can remember seeing was The Chirping Crickets, but then l was a massive Buddy Holly fan and still am.

And he played a Fender Strat.....

Have you got 1 of them Strats Mr too, l have a Sunburst Standard Strat just like Buddy's.
