Jerry Lee Lewis on Sun 288. Original 1958 45 in its original brown sleeve. None of these 45's were in Sun records company sleeves. Record looks unplayed. (M-) Pressing plant marks from the manufacturing process may be visible in the vinyl. Not uncommon during the 50's. Song titles are Breathless and Down the Line. Breathless was a big hit and in the top 10 on Billboard in 1958. The record is one of several of the same title found inside a box from Select - O - Hits. A record distribution company in Memphis back in the day. A rare find! Matrix numbers in the dead wax are 45-U-291 and 45-U-290. No pressing plant info was found in the dead wax on any of these 45's. Brown sleeves may have wrinkles, creases and small tears from prolonged storage in the boxes. I have other less than M- copies for sale from the same box as well. Thank you.
Record Grading:
M Only records sealed by the factory
M- Looks like a new record. Maybe a superficial mark
or two that doesn't affect the music. A light
audible sound or two in the dead wax is possible.
EX A few superficial marks, scuffs or a scratch that
doesn't affect the music. Light audible sound in
the dead wax and soft passages is possible. A
warp that doesn't affect play will be noted.
VG+ More superficial marks or scratches that doesn't
affect the music. Light audible sounds may be
present in the dead wax or soft music passages.
An audible non-repeating scratch in soft
passages may be present. Tracking marks in the
grooves may be visible. A warp that doesn't affect
play will be noted.
VG Many superficial marks, scuffs and scratches will
cover the disc. Some scratches deep enough to
be audible in mostly soft music passages. Some
light groove wear that is uniform and stays well
below the music level. No heavy distortion, loud
pops, repeating loud scratches, volume drops
from groove wear or other annoying noises.
Record is still enjoyable to listen to. A warp
that doesn't affect play will be noted.
VG-,G+, G

Most records come with a generic sleeve. Most sleeves have writing on them. Thank you
