jll_259 1st Nov 2023		As per my knowledge normally the later pressings were pressed both on heavy shellac and thin vinyl (not sure if it´s vinyl or something else inbetween). I had a SUN 287 which was light and thin, sold it and then bought one again - this time on heavy and thick shellac. Seems to depend from which pressing plant it came. I prefer the thick ones, to me they have a better, fuller sound.



L_clocks'n'music 27th Oct 2023		Hey there, I think I might have something interesting. I have this 78 with the label variation (as depicted). BUT it's pressed on a very thin, almost flexible material (vinyl?). I've seen someone sell a copy of Sun 198 with this exact characteristic, but I think 224 might be unique that way. Compared to any other 220-series Sun 78 it doesn't nearly feel as brittle, nor as heavy! It also has a big ring of wear from someone trying to play it on an acoustic, which makes me think it's likely NOT just thin shellac. Has anyone else got/heard about a copy of 224 that's remotely similar to mine?

slholzer 30th Oct 2016		Review Certain artists fail to impress me when they play in a straightforward country music vein, but really light up when they move into the rockabilly style. Bill Haley is one. Carl Perkins is another. "Let The Juke Box Keep On Playing" is Perkins in his straightforward country style. It is no doubt a competent foray in that genre. I will leave it to somebody who's into that to rate it, because I would not do it justice for those people. "Gone, Gone, Gone" is another matter, however. It is Perkins at least halfway to his ultimate rockabilly persona. The rhythm is more urgent, his voice is more dominant, his guitar is more clearly a part of his personal musical voice when he plays this kind of material. I don't know if this track pre-dates "Blue Suede Shoes", but it feels like it does by just a little. It's not as good as it gets, but whoever gave it an 8 was pretty much on the money. It's far better than merely good, and it ought to whet your appetite for more Perkins. 7 people found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?
