It's on Sun. Not much info to be found on the nets. Recorded in 57. Superdope primitive xacto graphic design.

    "Flying Saucers Rock & Roll" is by Billy Lee Riley, and even though it wasn't a hit, it is extremely well-known in the rockabilly community. And if it's a 10-incher, it is likely a 78 RPM single (likely one of the last ever made).

    Check that Internet again, because this record does have a rep...

    Nah, definitely a 33 1/3. It's some kind of comp. The cover actually says "Flyin saucers" no 'g', but the spine says "flying saucers."

    Names listed on the cover:

    Ray Harris
    Jerry Lee Lewis (and his pumpin piano)
    Carl Perkins (the rockin guitar man)
    Billy RIley (and his little green men)
    Sonny Burgess (and the Pacers)

    Ah, my fault...

    Don't know what it would be worth, but it wouldn't happen to be one of those Charly reissues from the '80s, would it? (Charly actually did release a series of 10" LP's with the Sun logo...although usually it said "copyright Charly Records" somewhere on the cover, it wasn't an exact pseudo-reproduction.)

    Gotta be an 80's reissue.....$10.00 tops.

    Sounds like something Jerry Osborne put out in the 80s.

    Does not sound like anything Sun put out in the USA in the 50s.
