Sun Records at 60, Bear Family at 38
Between 1950 and 1960, Sun Records founder Sam Phillips discovered and produced B.B. King, Howlin' Wolf, Ike Turner, Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Carl Perkins, Jerry Lee Lewis, Charlie Rich, and Roy Orbison - artists who changed the way popular music was made.
With a staff of no more than one or two people, he did this from a small storefront studio in Memphis, Tennessee.
Others who made their first recordings at Sun include Rufus Thomas, Bobby Bland, Junior Parker, Little Milton, Conway Twitty, Charley Pride, and many more!
In 1952, after producing one of the biggest pre-rock 'n' roll hits, Jackie Brenston's 'Rocket 88', Sam Phillips launched Sun Records with one local release, and then folded the label for a year.
In 1953, he re-launched Sun, scored major hits with R&B, country, and rock 'n' roll artists, and created an identifiable Sun Sound along the way.
He continued to release singles on Sun until 1968.

Now, in conjunction with Sun's sixtieth anniversary, Bear Family is releasing three genre-defining box sets
The Sun Country Box is the first. Bear Family issued the original 'Sun Country Years' in 1986, and now it's back. Few knew it, but Sam Phillips' original recordings after he started his studio were country - not blues. Now the story of Phillips' involvement in country music from 1950 until 1959 is told in full. There's Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, and Carl Perkins, of course, but the real story lies in artists like Ernie Chaffin, Slim Rhodes, Charlie Feathers, Warren Smith, and many others who didn't make it, but made fabulously underrated music. It's all here! Newly restored audio, newly discovered recordings, and newly unearthed photos make this an essential companion to the Blues box.

So don't believe that the story of Sun Records has been told until you hear a priceless audio fragment that might be Sun no.176 the only Sun record that has never been heard, or seen the scrap of paper where Sam Phillips figured out his tiny income for 1952, or hear afro-American gay nightclub singer Rudi Richardson sing rock 'n' roll! This is the story of the most lauded record label of all time told as only Bear Family can tell it!

This is the story of ten years that changed the world of popular culture!

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!

Customer evaluation for "Sun Country Box 1950-1959 (6-CD Deluxe Box Set)"

From: James Hartman On:7 Nov 2019

Outstanding presentation of great and historically important music

The Sun Country Box and its companion, the Sun Rock Box, offer a broad look at this critical slice of American popular music. Featuring a range of lesser known artists (often idiosyncratic, but consistently interesting), rather than focussing exclusively on the stars, these collections give us a more accurate and comprehensive view of the musical culture of the time. Sound quality is excellent, and the included books are beautifully presented and clearly have been exhaustively researched.

From: Schweder On:23 May 2014

This is the best stuff you can get. No doubt!!!
