Whole Lot of Shakin' Going On/ It'll Be Me

Here's a beautiful copy of Jerry Lee's first hit. By the way, the version of "It'll Be Me" on this original Sun 45 is quite different from the one that appears on many Sun reissues... for example, those issued by SSS Int'l in the 1970s and Charly in the 1980s. It's much faster and features the slapping acoustic bass that so defines Sun-style rockabilly. This was a non-album single. Note: This 45 record comes in a rare, vintage Sun Records factory sleeve. It looks almost new, except that "Butch" wrote his name on the A side (see scan). The audio sounds almost pristine... practically perfect for a Sun pressing!
