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 has EX labels, reflecting some ringwear. The vinyl looks Near Mint, but the audio is hampered by some light underlying surface noise early on.
