<B>Johnny Burnette and the Rock "N" Roll Trio - S/T Mono LP Coral 57080 (1956) Condition: M-9/VG+8</B></I> This extremely rare disk is quite possibly one of the most potent expressions of pure, primal rock and roll. The Burnette brothers, Johnny and Dorsey, were early movers and shakers on the Memphis scene and close friends with a young Elvis, who payed close attention to the hard driving rock sounds by the trio and their powerhouse lead guitarist, Paul Burleson. Elvis wasn't the only one taking notes; this album's "Train Kept A-Rollin'" was covered by everyone from Jimmy Page and his pre-Led Zeppelin band, the Yardbirds to Aerosmith (not to mention about a thousand garage bands along the way). While the LP sold relatively few copies on this original release, the influence on a generation of rockers is unmistakable. This copy is still housed in its opened original shrink wrap which still covers 90% of the cover. The record itself shows a few surface lines but shows great luster and plays clean and clear. This is among the finest copies of this landmark album currently known to exist, and will surely be a source of pride for one lucky bidder.
