Cat. No. VV 1168: CARL PERKINS ~ SUN SOUND SPECIAL. CHARLY RECORDS CR 30152.

USED VINYL RECORD. PART OF A COLLECTION NOW UP FOR SALE.

IN THE MUSIC OF CARL PERKINS IS EMBODIED THE SUN SOUND OF THE ROCKABILLY ERA. THIS ALBUM COLLECTS TOGETHER THOSE CARL PERKINS' SUN RECORDINGS NOT INCLUDED ON "THE ORIGINAL CARL PERKINS" CHARLY CR 30110 AND IT EMPHASISES THE IMPORTANCE OF HIS STYLE BECAUSE DESPITE THERE BEING FEW HIT SINGLES INCLUDED HERE AND DESPITE THE USE OF SEVERAL ALTERNATE TAKES, THE QUALITY OF THE PERFORMANCES IS STILL EXCELLENT. 

CARL PERKINS WAS IN HIS MID-TWENTIES WHEN THE SONGS ON THIS ALBUM WERE RECORDED. THEY WERE THE INITIAL RECORDED STATEMENT OF HIS MUSIC AND ALSO A CRYSTALLISATION OF THE SUN SOUND OF SAM PHILLIPS. IN THE FOUR YEARS THAT FOLLOWED THEIR FIRST MEETING, SAM PHILLIPS WAS ABLE TO TAKE CARL'S TALENT AND PROMOTE IT TO AN INTERNATIONAL AUDIENCE

THIS ALBUM WAS RELEASED IN 1978 BY CHARLY RECORDS, A LABEL INITIALLY DEDICATED TO GATHERING TOGETHER AND PROMOTING THE ENORMOUS TALENT THAT WAS SUN RECORDS. THE SLEEVE IS GRADED AS EXCELLENT TO NEAR MINT ALTHOUGH THERE APPEARS TO BE SOME YELLOWING ON THE SLEEVE, HOWEVER, THAT IS CAUSED BY THE SCAN AND IS NOT APPARENT ON THE SLEEVE ITSELF. THE RECORD IS GRADED MINT.
