Various - SUN Records: Great Guitars At Sun - Featuring Scotty Moore, Roland Janes, Eddie Bush, Pat Hare, Roy Orbison

1-CD Digipak (6-sided) with 60-page booklet, 28 tracks. Total playing time approx. 70:19

•    Compilation presenting the most exciting guitar playing on SUN putting the musicians at the center of attention.
•    From stylists like Luther Perkins to legends like Scotty Moore and Little Milton.
•    Track-by track notes, liner notes by SUN historians, Hank Davis and Scott Parker.

Sam Phillips’ legendary Sun Records is famous for guitar-toting stars like Elvis, Johnny Cash and Carl Perkins. But dazzling string work at Sun was not limited to records by these three famous artists. This is a CD for musicians as well as record collectors. We’ve saved you the trouble of going through hundreds of original sources to find the best of the best. It’s all here, in one place, culled from hundreds of hours of listening. Whether you want to bask in it or learn from it, this truly is the definitive collection of Great Guitars at Sun.

‘Great Guitars at Sun’ includes some breath-taking playing: from legends like Scotty Moore to stylists like Luther Perkins. Some, like Carl Perkins, Little Milton and Roy Orbison, were far better known as singers. Other guitarists we selected - men like Eddie Bush and Pat Hare and Roland Janes - worked in near obscurity, but their brilliant playing illuminated recordings by better known vocalists. Sam Phillips, the founder and guiding hand of Sun Records, knew how to listen and he knew how important the musicians were. He went so far as to create a “house band” during Sun’s Golden Era -  a group of wonderful instrumentalists he would routinely call upon to play at vocalists’ recording sessions. We’ll listen to these records like Sam Phillips did, to get a deeper appreciation of the music that came out of the Sun studio. The CD also contains track-by-track listening notes by musicians and Sun historians, Hank Davis and Scott Parker.

In two collections of recordings from the legendary Sun label in Memphis ('Great Guitars at Sun' and 'Great Drums at Sun') we change the usual focus. Now the spotlight is off the singers and firmly on the guitarists and drummers who provided so much of what was great about our favorite Sun Records. There are thousands of Sun reissue albums out there but none before has put the musicians at the center of attention. That change is long overdue.

Sun Records editions by Bear Family Records

Sun Records - In the spring of 1952, Sam Phillips risked founding his own record label - Sun Records. He had been an independent producer for several years and recorded the greatest R&B hit of 1951, Jackie Brenston's Rocket 88.

So Sam Phillips knew he had chosen the right job. But would it work with Sun Records, when many independent labels had to close down quickly? It didn't look good at first either. After only two releases on Sun Records there was already a one year break.

But gradually the hits set in: With recordings by Rufus Thomas, the Prisonaires, Junior Parker and of course Elvis Presley. Then there was no stopping. Carl Perkins, Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, Charlie Rich, Roy Orbison, Conway Twitty, Carl Mann, Billy Riley, Warren Smith and many others joined. They have permanently changed the world of pop music.

if you're not doing something different, you're not doing anything
After the sale of the label Sun Records in 1969 there were countless re-releases of the material. But only Bear Family has always moved at a high quality level. Only these new editions of Sun Records are recommended. Because these CDs and CD album box sets deliver the best sound, the best photos, the best accompanying texts and the best presentation!

Great music!

A fantastic compilation of great SUN music. I guess many of us who purchase this CD have these recordings already in some form,my primary aim was to get ‘ Trouble Bound’ which I believe was recorded in a garage.Great stuff with usual ‘Bear Records’ sound quality

Sehr interessant

Die CD ist gut aufgebaut und sehr abwechslungsreich. Hier bekommen auch Gitarristen, die mehr im Hintergrund gewirkt haben, die Aufmerksamkeit, die ihnen gebührt. Das Booklet ist interessant und informativ. Wieder mal alle Daumen hoch!

Musikhistorische Glanzleistung

Musikreviews 10.04.17 " Schlicht eine echte Entdeckung und musikhistorische Glanzleistung, die Bear Family Records hier mit „Great GUITARS At SUN“ abliefert, weil ihre Intention, das Hauptohrenmerk nicht auf den Sänger, sondern die Gitarrenarbeit hinter dem Song zu legen, wahrhaft einmalig ist und Hits sowie Raritäten der 50er- und 60er-Jahre, die allesamt auf dem SUN-Label erschienen, in sich vereint. Dazu macht das 56seitige Booklet das Album neben dem ausgezeichnet remasterten musikalischen auch zu einem dokumentarisch-literarischen Glanzstück."

Ein Traum

Oldiemarkt 4-17 "Saftig geht es auf den 28 Tracks zu, auf denen man neben den großen Namen auch unbekanntere hört, die aber deswegen keinen Deut schlechter sind als ihre berühmten Kollegen. Diese CD ist für jeden Rock'n Roller ein Traum."

Die Zukunft gehört der E-Gitarre

Audio 5-17 "Diese Compilation würdigt den legendären Studio-Boss Sam Phiilips, der zu Beginn der Fünfzigerjahre ahnte: Die Zukunft gehört der E-Gitarre."

Press and Reviews
Press - Various - SUN Records Great Guitars At Sun - Mojo Magazine
Press - Various - SUN Records Great Guitars At Sun - Mojo Magazine compilation putting the ckbe t in the front sPat. There's a famous newsreel clip of a 1950s Southern hellfire preacher - Hank Snow's son, as it happens - denouncing rock'n'roll, claiming that what sent the kids over the edge was "the beat! the beat! the beat!". This fine collection shines the spotlight squarely on the people delivering that beat, none more so than the magnificent Jimmy Van Eaton, who drummed on 173 of the 330 songs issued during his time at Sun. He's on 14 of the 28 here, from Billy Riley's Red Hot to Jerry Lee's Whole Lotta Shakin' and Charlie Rich's
