While a complete set of Elvis' Sun 45s is highly collectible, the opportunity to obtain all five singles at once is even more rare. This incredible complete collection of Elvis' Sun 45 RPM records includes his first five singles and presents just that opportunity. The collection includes:



  • 1954 Sun 209 "That's All Right/Blue Moon of Kentucky" (sample copy stamped "Sample" in red on both sides);

  • 1954 Sun 210 "Good Rockin' Tonight/I Don't Care if the Sun Don't Shine";

  • 1955 Sun 215 "Milkcow Blues Boogie/You're A Heartbreaker";

  • 1955 Sun 217 "I'm Left, You're Right, She's Gone/Baby Let's Play House"; and

  • 1955 Sun 223 "Mystery Train/I Forgot to Remember to Forget."


The Sun 45s were pressed by Plastic Products, Inc of Memphis, Tennessee, and Sun would return any unusable pressings to them. This practice was common, since Plastic Products recycled old pressings and the process was not without defective pressings. In November of 1955 RCA Victor purchased the master records from Sun. It released "Mystery Train" first in November 1955, which was the last to be released by Sun, and then released the other four in December of 1955. Collectors often seek to build this collection piece by piece, with "Milkcow Blues Boogie" being the most difficult to acquire. The five 45 RPM singles are also accompanied by a letter of authenticity from Graceland Authenticated.
