The offered, mid-grade example of Sun Records 210 features Elvis Presley's songs “Milkcow Blues Boogie” and “You're a Heartbreaker.” These two songs were most-likely recorded on November 15, 1954, and the single was released on January 8, 1955. This record is a “Memphis Pressing,” as evidenced by the “delta” or “push” marks on the labels, three small indentations of the paper where the record stamper left indentations on the record itself when it was pressed at Plastic Products, Inc. where Sun had records made in Memphis. This detail usually indicates that the record is of an earlier vintage because Plastic Products didn't have a huge capacity. When Elvis' singles started selling big, Sam Phillips also had them pressed at other pressing plants in California and Pennsylvania. Those examples do not have these “delta” marks. The 45 measures 7 inches (17.8 cm) in diameter and is accompanied by a letter of authenticity from Graceland Authenticated.
Condition: GD+ with moderate to heavy scuffing and and scratches. Both labels show moderate to heavy wear.
