Third Man Records announce Vault Package of Elvis Presley singles from 1954-55
Third Man Records, in conjunction with Sony Music Entertainment and the Sun Label Group, has announced its 59th Vault package – Elvis Presley at 706 Union Ave: The Sun Singles 1954-55.
Celebrating the seventieth anniversary of the recordings, this collection includes reproductions of all five of Presley’s original 7" 45rpm singles on Sun Records, pressed in yellow and black marble coloured vinyl. There is also a bonus 7-inch EP of four Elvis songs recorded at Sun.
Additionally, one lucky customer will receive a package that contains original 1950s pressings of all five Elvis Presley singles on Sun, which has been sought after by collectors for decades.
“If Elvis Presley had never made another record after his last Sun session in the fall of 1955, there seems little question that his music would have achieved much the same mythic status as Robert Johnson’s blues. The body of his work at Sun is so transcendent, so fresh, and so original that even today you can scarcely listen to it in relation to anything but itself. Like all great art its sources may be obvious, but its overall impact defies explanation," says American music critic Peter Guralnick who has previously written books about Elvis.
The Vault Package is available to order now until 31 January at thirdmanrecords.com. Shipping will take place in April.
