That's All Right Mint On eBay

March 23, 2010 | Music

Here it is - the one you've been waiting for - a mint, unplayed original pressing of the 45 that launched it all: Elvis Presley's landmark 1954 debut record "That's All Right"/"Blue Moon of Kentucky" (Sun 209), from the personal collection of Sun Records Promotion Manager Cecil Scaife! Cecil donated another copy from this very batch (Sam Phillips gave him a box of 25 copies back in the 1950's) to the Country Music Hall Of Fame for display. We had the distinction of listing one of Cecil's copies back in 2006 and we are beyond honored to offer another one up to you now in 2010! As you can see by the photos, this 45 comes out of its original shipping box (not included as part of this auction), is housed in its original brown stock paper sleeve, and is guaranteed original and unplayed!

This 45 - being unplayed - is in mint condition. Its labels, which have the push marks caused by the equipment at Plastic Products (the pressing plant that manufactured Sun records at the time), are also in mint condition, with raw flecks still flaking off the spindle hole! You couldn't have found a nicer copy if you'd walked into Poplar Tunes in July, 1954 to buy one hot off the press.

The Winning bid is 10,000.00

This is the crown jewel of any collection. You can have all the FTDs, boxsets, bootlegs, etc. Give me this to put on my wall. Its history. I have all the Suns but they are not mint like this.

You wanna give it a spin, place yourself on the couch to listen. But as soon as you've reached your couch you have to stand up again to turn up the B-side ... Keeps you in shape but it's worthless. I prefer a 4 gig SD card with "The Complete Elvis Collection" on it (Just a gag guys. Don't ban me. I'm just joking .. really).
