The Complete Sun Singles, Vol. 1 - From the Vaults
(4-CD LP-sized box with 72-page book, 114 tracks) Sun was the ultimate singles label. The original album catalogue was small, and mostly given over to Johnny Cash. Now here is the way Sun should have been reissued all along. All the original singles are presented ('A' and 'B' sides) in numerical order. Incredible care has been taken to locate the original masters or rare 78s to dub from (some of which - incredibly - have never been reissued), and we've also been successful in licensing Elvis Presley's Sun singles, so now you can hear the King of Rock And Roll in the context in which he was first heard. This - the ultimate Sun reissue series on a total of six CD boxed sets - is long overdue, but it has been worth the wait, because it has been done right.This volume contains all the Flip Records, plus Sun 175 to 228. Here are the first 52 singles on Sun ('A' and 'B' sides), issued between 1952 and 1955, as well as the four Flip singles. All of Elvis's singles are here, as well as the first singles by Johnny Cash, Carl Perkins, and many other legendary Sun artists. This is music history as it actually unfolded week-by-week.
