Story & Background
This 1959 London pressing of Jerry Lee Lewis's eponymous album is a recording artefact of enormous significance, not only for its sonic content but for the historical context in which it was released. While in the United States the debut on Sun Records had appeared in 1958, this British edition arrived on the market in the midst of the "damnatio memoriae" that had engulfed "The Killer". His scandalous union with his thirteen-year-old cousin Myra Gale Brown, revealed the previous year, had crushed his career, transforming him from global superstar to pariah. This vinyl, while preserving the raw and untamed energy of his most iconic rock'n'roll – tracks recorded before the scandal – was released at a time when the public and media had almost completely ostracised him, making it a collector's item that encapsulates the tragic collision between musical genius and personal implosion.
