Liquid Release

The replica re-issue of Elvis' first SUN records single on liquid vinyl has been released. This edition of 'That's All Right' / 'Blue Moon of Kentucky' plays at 78 RPM and is limited to 125 copies.

These records contain a 2-colour liquid, nicely matching those notable SUN colours, that moves inside the vinyl. 

Note: Rumor has it that this a release from the Memphis Recording Service, just like the 'Sun Splat' 78 RPM re-issues released a week ago.
