Comments :  

1955 Takes 1, 2, 3 & 4 Incomplete
1955 Take 5 Complete
1955 Takes 6, 7 & 8 Incomplete

The 1957 Master version is Take 8, with Takes 1 to 7 not surviving.

Although the SUN version was recorded in 1955, it wasn't released until 1983. The 1957 new version had to wait until 1965 for it's release.
