Renowned collector John Tefteller wins the 'rarest and most expensive' vinyl from legendary Sun label.

The previously unknown and potentially one-of-a-kind blues 45 rpm record produced by the legendary Sun record label of Memphis, Tennessee - also home to Elvis - was won at auction for $10,323.

The record features Alabama blues singer DA Hunt performing each song in an outstanding old acoustic style; his first and only record which sold very, very few copies when first released.

"I think I stole it," said the long-time rare records dealer John Tefteller of his winning bid. Tefteller's blues records collection is already referred to by many as the best in the world.

"This record was not previously known to exist on 45 rpm," said Tefteller. "[It's] a discovery of monumental importance to the record collecting world and I just had to have it."
