For Sale - Jerry Lee Lewis "Breathless" / "Down The Line" 45 Record Beechnut Gum Autograph Promo, 1958, Sun Records, good condition.
STORY BEHIND THE GREEN STAMPED AUTOGRAPH: "Back in 1958 Jud Phillips, in charge of promotion at Sun, had a problem. Sales of "Breathless" - Jerry Lee's latest record were slow. Jud did a deal with Dick Clark who had the "Bandstand" show on TV. One of the sponsors was Beechnut Chewing Gum and Jud fixed up a special promotion where the kids sent in gum wrappers (2 of which are included in this auction) and got a specially "autographed" version of the disc sent to them direct from Sun at Memphis.
This song hit # 7 on the Rock & Roll chart - The record looks and plays great and is in fantastic condition. This is nice and clean - a collector's delight!
