The debut studio album of the legendary country singer, inscribed and signed in blue ink "To Elaine / love, / Johnny Cash," on verso at upper edge. Sun Record Company LP-1220, contains sleeve and early pressing vinyl record in good condition. 12 x 12 inches (30.5 x 30.5 cm).

A rare signed copy of the debut studio album by American singer Johnny Cash. Cash had auditioned for a place on the music label Sun Records in 1955, but he failed to impress its founder Sam Phillips after presenting himself as a gospel singer. He was told to come back with a more commercial sound, as Phillips believed gospel wouldn't sell. Cash returned with the songs "Hey Porter!" and "Cry! Cry! Cry!" and subsequently released them as his debut single on Sun Records in July 1955. Released on October 11, 1957, Johnny Cash with His Hot and Blue Guitar! is one of the first albums ever issued on the Sun Records label, and the album contained four of his hit singles: "I Walk the Line," "Cry! Cry! Cry!," "So Doggone Lonesome," and "Folsom Prison Blues."
