Presley, Elvis – Million Dollar Quartet – Original Sun Recordings – 2 10″ LPs (LP – New)

Double ten inch vinyl pressing. The original Sun Record Company recording has been newly-remastered in 2016 and pressed as an audiophile-quality double LP on 10-inch vinyl to celebrate the 60th anniversary of this historic event. Never has the legendary Million Dollar Quartet session taped at Sun Studios on 4th, December 1956 sounded better. Carl Perkins was completing a recording session at which Jerry Lee Lewis had been playing piano for him when Elvis Presley dropped by to visit his old friends at Sun, where he had made his first seminal recordings a couple of years earlier. The scene was set for an extraordinary, impromptu jam session which was fortunately recorded for posterity by Sam Phillips. Supported by Carl Perkins’ band, Elvis, Carl and Jerry spontaneously run through a mixture of popular songs of the day, country favorites as well as old country-gospel tunes which so influenced the trio.
41 tracks of spontanious fun with 4 of the most influential early rock icons; Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis & Carl Perkins.
