Sun Records: 25 Rock 'N' Roll Classics

Product Description
This collection features 25 classics from the Sun vaults. The recordings range from beloved hits (Perkins’ "Blue Suede Shoes," Jerry Lee’s "Whole Lot Of Shakin’ Going On," Bill Justis’ "Raunchy") to the wild-eyed work of Billy Riley, Sonny Burgess, and Warren Smith. There are also rare alternate takes, dazzling obscurities, and rollicking solo demos by Charlie Rich and Mickey Gilley. Sun’s blues and R&B roots are represented by Billy "The Kid" Emerson’s pounding "Shim Sham Shimmy" and Bill Johnson’s raging Little Richard-styled "You Better Dig It." Everything on this collection rocks with a manic intensity that could only have originated inside the walls of Sun.
