[Presley, Elvis] 1954 Sun Record: "That's All Right". Great example of Sun Records #209, "That's All Right," flip side of "Blue Moon of Kentucky," with lightly worn labels and minimal scratching. Name of "Darlene" is written on one label. This version features "Wabash Music Co. BMI" on the A side, and "Peer BMI" on the B side. Presley's version of Arthur Crudup's song was recorded July 5, 1954, and was released July 19th.

During an uneventful recording session at Sun Studios, Presley, Scotty Moore and Bill Black were taking a break between recordings. Presley began singing an up-tempo version of "That's All Right." Black joined in on his upright bass and then Moore on guitar. Shocked by the sound, producer Sam Phillips asked them to start again so he cold record it. Upon finishing the recording, according to Moore, Black remarked, "Damn. Get that on the radio and they'll run us out of town." The rest, as they say, is history.

This is the most sought after of all records. Also included is a scarce soft Elvis Presley record, "The Truth About Me," a 78 RPM from a 1956 magazine.
Estimated Value $1,500 - 2,000.

 
Realized $900
