Offered is a copy of Jerry Lee Lewis' 1957 Sun Records 267 78 RPM Single "Whole Lot of Shakin' Going On". Lewis had been performing the song in his stage act and recorded it at his second recording session for Sun Records in February 1957. Supervised by producer Jack Clement (who wrote the B-side, "It'll Be Me"), Lewis radically altered the original, adding a propulsive boogie piano. Jerry Lee commented on the singles after recording it: "I knew it was a hit when I cut it. Sam Phillips thought it was gonna be too risqué, it couldn't make it. If that's risqué, well, I'm sorry." The song was released on April 15, 1957, and it reached No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100 and No. 1 on the magazine's R&B record charts. The record presents with both labels intact and boldly colored, with some scuffing and minor residue on the vinyl, but no major distresses. VG+ condition. A really nice example of Jerry Lee's most well-known song.
