There was a Sun Recording I remember reading about several years ago.Apparently Scotty Moore recorded an instrumental version of "Blues Stay Away From Me" and if you listen to it on headphones you can hear Elvis, who was present at the session, singing the song off microphone. Does anyone know of this recording, and if so, how to obtain a copy?

Regards.

Thanks Sorcha an interesting piece of information that throws up another question -Who actually played the drums on Elvis' Sun Recordings? I always thought it was Johnny Bernero but according to your transcript it was Jimmie Lott -anyone know for sure? As for "Blues Stay Away From Me" I was lead to believe it was a proper recording and not just a riff before a take, but who knows? I wonder if anyone out there could ask Scotty himself.
