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?

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.

Buddy Holly's timeless. Most of his work still sounds as fresh as the day it was cut. Terrible loss for music that he died so young.

And he played a Fender Strat.....
