Sam Phillips created the label where rock n' roll was born, Sun Records. He and Shelby Singleton produced and released countless hit records, spanning many genres. From the original recording of Johnny Cash's "I Walk the Line," Jerry Lee Lewis's "Great Balls of Fire," and The Dixie Cups "Chapel of Love," to reimagined classics like Dave Dudley's "Six Days on the Road" and everything in between. Essential Sun Records celebrates the 70th-anniversary of the iconic label. 180-gram vinyl.
