The Sun Sound began when Sam Phillips launched his record company in February of 1952. He named it Sun Records as a sign of his perpetual optimism: a new day and a new beginning. Sam rented a small space at 706 Union Avenue for his own all-purpose studio. The label was launched amid a growing number of independent labels. In a short while Sun gained the reputation throughout Memphis as a label that treated local artists with respect and honesty. Sam provided a non-critical, spontaneous environment that invited creativity and vision.
As a businessman, Phillips was patient and willing to listen to almost anyone who came in off the street to record. Memphis was a happy home to a diverse musical scene: gospel, blues, hillbilly, country, boogie, and western swing. Taking advantage of this range of talent, there were no style limitations at the label. In one form or another Sun recorded them all.
Inherent in the music of Sun is a vibrancy that survives to this day. Sincere, passionate music. Music that has stood the test of time. It is music that has reached across race, age and gender boundaries. It reflects the diversity and vision of the talent that recorded on the Sun label, and indeed, American popular culture itself.
The 'Sun Records Story' documents the meteoric rise of a small, independent Memphis label from its roots in blues and country to ground-breaking Rock'n'Roll recordings. Major artists whose careers began at Sun include Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, Elvis Presely, Roy Orbison, Carl Perkins and Howlin' Wolf. The 94 tracks making up this comprehensive 6-LP set chronicle the fortunes of this truly legendary record label. Includes detailed track-by-track notes.
