ELVIS PRESLEY

The SUN Singles 1954-55

New, mint, unplayed, just opened the lid to check if this was the one set of original singles that was sent to one lucky customer as advertised. It was not.... "Just" the beutiful Third Man Vault #59 pressings:

Third Man Records, in conjunction with Sony Music Entertainment and the Sun Label Group, is proud to announce its 59th Vault package, Elvis Presley at 706 Union Ave: The Sun Singles 1954-55. Celebrating the seventieth anniversary of these monumental recordings, this collection includes faithful reproductions of all five of Presley’s original 7-inch 45rpm singles on Sun, pressed in a hypnotic yellow and black marble colored vinyl. Additionally, a bonus 7-inch EP of four Elvis songs recorded at Sun which didn’t see release until later are collected in a prime pretty picture sleeve and pressed on yellow and black “sun ray” splattered vinyl. 

To further accentuate the set, Third Man has included two linen-style postcards in the box, one depicting the classic, unassuming facade of the Sun storefront and the other showing, in glorious detail, the beauty of sound absorbing acoustic tile. Also added here is a name-tag styled patch spiritually inspired by the accoutrement of Presley’s truck-driving job at Crown Electric, extolling the titular hook of that first Elvis a-side. And finally, a substantive, milled nickel 45 adaptor, featuring the iconic rooster emblazoned on all those early singles.

The item you see is the copy you get. I will ship it in the original Third Man Records box I received it in.

THIS COMES FROM MY PERSONAL COLLECTION AND A SMOKE- AND PET-FREE HOME

RETURNS:

FIRST, PLEASE EMAIL WITH QUESTIONS BEFORE THE END OF THE LISTING!

MY ITEMS ARE SOLD AS IS, PLEASE ALWAYS REVIEW THE PICTURES, WHICH ARE OF THE ITEM YOU PURCHASE!

AS A GENERAL RULE THE SALE ON MY ITEMS IS FINAL AS I AM A PRIVATE SELLER, NOT A STORE, PRICE MY ITEMS ACCORDINGLY AND CANNOT AFFORD THE OVERHEAD.

HOWEVER, I AM ALSO REASONABLE. SO SHOULD I HAVE GRAVELY MISSREPRESENTED THE ITEM I AM SELLING OR IF THERE ARE OTHER VALID CIRCUMSTANCES,

I AM ALWAYS WILLING TO LISTEN AND MAKE IT WORK.

IMPORTANT NOTES ON SHIPPING TERMS:

MY SHIPPING TERMS ARE ACCURATE. I AM A PRIVATE SELLER AND NEED UP TO 3 BUSINESS DAYS (MORE OFTEN LESS - SEE MY FEEDBACK) FOR HANDLING AND PACKING BEFORE I CAN DROP THIS OFF WITH A SHIPPER AS I HAVE A REGULAR JOB. ONCE DROPPED OFF WITH THE SHIPPER IT IS OUT OF MY HANDS. I WILL SHIP THE MOST ECONOMICAL WAY (THESE DAYS THIS IS USUALLY USPS PRIORITY MAIL), BUT WITH TRACKING PROVIDED WHENEVER POSSIBLE. UNFORTUNATELY EBAY IS MORE AND MORE FOCUSING ON PROFESSIONAL SELLERS AS THEY NEED TO COMPETE WITH AMAZON AND OTHER ONLINE RETAILERS. THEREBY THEY TRAIN US BUYERS (YES, I BUY FROM EBAY AS WELL) THAT EVERYTHING MUST ARRIVE AT OUR DOORSTEP WITHIN 2 DAYS. THIS ITEM WILL NOT. IF YOU WANT NEXT DAY SHIPPING, PLEASE DO NOT BUY FROM ME: I JUST CANNOT INTERRUPT MY REGULAR WORK DAY TO ACCOMODATE THAT. I WILL RELIABLY SHIP AS SOON AS POSSIBLE WITHIN THE 3 DAYS, SO YOU WILL USUALLY HAVE THE ITEM WITHIN 7-14 DAYS AT A MINIMUM - DEPENDING HOW FAR YOU ARE FROM ME, BUT I CANNOT AND DO NOT WANT TO DEAL WITH THE SUBJECTIVE NATURE OF EXPECTATIONS SET BY EBAY AT THIS TIME.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR UNDERSTANDING!
