SUN
RECORDS
A legendary American label, operating out of Memphis,
Tennessee. Sun was formed by Sam C. Phillips in 1952, as a result of
difficulties he'd been experiencing while trying to get the records that he'd
made at his Memphis Sound Studios released through other
companies. The label was responsible for discovering Elvis Presley
and for developing a new sound, 'Rockabilly': a fusion of white Country and
black R'n'B. Presley's success attracted other young country singers
to Sun - singers such as Carl Perkins, Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, Roy Orbison
and Charlie Rich, who went on to become household names. Initially
Phillips had concentrated on issuing Blues records; he soon abandoned the Blues
and devoted his efforts to Rockabilly, to great effect. Eventually,
however, the company's stars began leaving. They were not adequately
replaced; by 1963 Sun's best days were over. It was moribund by 1968;
in 1969 it was sold to Shelby S. Singleton Jr, who reissued and licenced its
back-catalogue zestfully. The British versions of the Sun label date
from this latter, reissue, period. Singleton's 'Sun' and 'SSS' labels
issued limited amounts of product through Phonogram in the early '70s, using a
6094-000 numerical series, later that decade reissue specialists Charly Records
picked up the rights to Sun and put out a few singles on their version of that
label. Charly issues shared the Charly label's CYS-1000
numbering. Thanks to Robert Lyons for the info.
