Este álbum é uma série de gravaçoes feitas em '56 nos estùdios da Sun Records pelo próprio Sun Phillips, como uma recordação. Uma "Jam Session" com Elvis presley, que na época era o maior nome do show business e voltou ao estudio após ouvir uma gravação de Perkins, Johnny Cash que segundo ele mesmo foi o primeiro a chegar ao estúdio (citação de sua auto biografia "Cash"), Jerry Lee Lewis, o novato, considerado "gênio do piano e vocal" ainda desconhecido fora de Menphis, e Carl Perkins que acabara de lançar o sucesso "Blue Suede Shoes" e estava á procura de material novo, acompanhado de seus dois irmãos e seu baterista W.S. Holland. Foram apelidados de "O quarteto de Um Milhão de Dólares" pois fizeram a Sun Records se tornar o que se tornou.A maioraia das faixas são curtas, e logo de cara percebe-se a desorganização no estudio e tal, mas ainda assim a qualidade de som é ótima, com vários comentários dos caras como Jerry Lee lembrando aos outros a letra de "Brown Eyed Handsome Man".A sessão termina com Elvis indo embora e como declarou Johnny Cash: "Nem mesmo Elvis quer acompanhar Jerry Lee".This album is a compilation of the records made on '56 on the Sun Records studio by Sun Phillips to keep like a "souvenir" for the future.A "Jam Session" with Elvis presley, the greatest name on the 50's show business that arrived at the studio after hear a Perkins recorded session, Johnny Cash who was the first to arrive at Sun Studio that day (note of his autobiography "Cash"), Jerry Lee Leewis "singer and piano man extraordinaire", not yet know outside Menphis, and Carl Perkins who by this time had already met success with "Blue Suede Shoes".Later called "The Million Dollar Quartet" because them made the Sun Records become in what it became.These are short records with no much organization but the sound quality is great.Track List:      1.
