Blue Moon of Kentucky

Publicity stated: To celebrate the 70th Anniversary of Elvis’ historic first single release of Sun 209 ‘That’s All Right’/ ‘Blue Moon of Kentucky’ a very special and totally unique limited-edition release of the recording that changed Rock’n’Roll history will be out in the first week of July 2024. 

This special liquid vinyl version of Sun 209 10-inch playing at 78 RPM is restricted to 125 copies worldwide. They contain a 2-colour liquid, nicely matching those notable SUN colours, that moves inside the vinyl. Each of these unique vinyls are handmade and take an hour to produce each one. They also have the original etched numbers included with the appropriate song sides and are by far the most remarkable SUN replica made. The labels are perfect (as the original) in size, accuracy and colour. 

The sound quality is excellent, featuring the original Sun recordings with the ‘dry’ ‘That’s All Right’ and pressed on heavy stock vinyl. This is a strictly Limited Edition of only 125 copies that will ever be produced. The price will be around Euro 200-250. 


The Man, The Myth, The Music

Robert Joe published the 75-page book 'Elvis Presley Biography: The Man, The Myth, The Music'. 

Description: Elvis Presley was a trustworthy indicator of the society he was raised in, much more than just a cultural icon. Elvis Preluded the cultural upheavals of the 1960s and 1970s by initiating a dynastic shift in American culture. 

And a lot of it happened, he admits, by chance. Elvis was usually the first to inquire as to why there was such a commotion around his performances. Elvis naively said that he was simply doing what came naturally when asked whether he was aiming to elicit a reaction from his audience. 

As much as James Dean was a “rebel without a cause,” Elvis said that he was just a "rebel by mistake". If he's telling the truth, then all he accomplished to get famous was only a random cosmic alignment. Elvis said that his only goal in going into Sun Records to record his first song was to record a song for his mother's birthday, rather than to become famous. 

As you read about the life, legend, and undeniable icon that is Elvis Presley, you will be able to make your own judgement. Learn about a variety of subjects, including Elvis and his twin, Presley's contentious ascent, Elvis enlists in the Army,
his return to Las Vegas, and eventually is death and a lot more.
