Various - SUN Records: Sun Ballads 1953-1962 (3-CD)

3-CD-Album DigiPac (8-plated) with 90-page booklet, 78 tracks. Playing time approx. 137 minutes.

The first-ever in-depth look at the ballad side of the Sun Records legacy. Surveys a 10-year period from the earliest blues and hillbilly days to the Golden Age of rockabilly and into the early 1960s. Contains 78 tracks featuring Sun's best-known artists, as well as obscure & rarely reissued artists and titles. Contains in-depth historical material and detailed track-by-track commentaries. A must-have for all music historians, as well as die-hard Sun fans and collectors.

Sun Records earned its widespread fame as the Memphis-based birthplace of rock 'n' roll pioneers like Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins, Billy Riley, as well as icons of American music such as
Johnny Cash, Roy Orbison and Charlie Rich. Sun was also home to blues legends like Howlin' Wolf, B. B. King, Rufus Thomas, Jr. and Rosco Gordon. Label owner Sam Phillips truly did it all with his little Memphis label, and built a legend in the process. Although Sun is best known for rockers and rockin' music, it turns out that even rockers had their mellow moments. Sun managed to record a surprising number of them and built a very effective library of ballads as well. This side of Sun's legacy has never been examined in depth - until now.

'Sun Ballads' surveys a 10 year period of Sun's history from the earliest blues and hillbilly days to the Golden Era of rockabilly and beyond, into the early 1960s. This collection combines some of Sun's best known recording pioneers with a few truly obscure artists and rarely reissued titles; it contains a lavishly illustrated book with detailed track by track commentary by Sun historian Hank Davis. This 3-CD set is an unprecedented treasure trove for Sun fans and collectors.

Sun Records editions by Bear Family Records

Sun RecordsIm Frühjahr 1952 riskierte es Sam Phillips, ein eigenes Plattenlabel zu gründen - Sun Records. Er war damals schon einige Jahre als unabhängiger Produzent tätig gewesen und hatte den größten R&B-Hit von 1951 aufgenommen, Jackie Brenstons Rocket 88.

Folglich wusste Sam Phillips, dass er den richtigen Job gewählt hatte. Aber würde es auch mit Sun Records klappen, wo doch viele unabhängige Labels schnell wieder dichtmachen mussten? Anfangs sah es auch nicht gut aus. Nach nur zwei Veröffentlichungen auf Sun Records gab es bereits eine einjährige Pause.

Doch allmählich stellten sich die Hits ein: Mit Aufnahmen von Rufus Thomas, den Prisonaires, von Junior Parker und natürlich von Elvis Presley. Dann gab es kein Halten mehr. Carl Perkins, Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, Charlie Rich, Roy Orbison, Conway Twitty, Carl Mann, Billy Riley, Warren Smith und viele andere kamen hinzu. Sie haben die Welt der Popmusik nachhaltig verändert.

if you're not doing something different, you're not doing anything
Nach dem Verkauf des Labels Sun Records 1969 gab es ungezählte Wiederveröffentlichungen des Materials. Doch nur Bear Family hat sich dabei stets auf hohem Qualitätsniveau bewegt. Einzig und allein diese Neuauflagen von Sun Records sind empfehlenswert. Denn diese CDs und CD-Album Boxsets liefern den besten Klang, die besten Fotos, die besten Begleittexte und die beste Präsentation!

From: Roman Tic On: 12 Jun 2020

Dream!

What a nice compilation that is! I have all the 'Ballads' incl. Eddie Cochran, Gene Vincent, Jack Scott and the others! It's great to have the 'Rocks' and the 'Ballads' of certain artists - it's like Ying and Yang .... Sigh!
