A celebration of Sun Records - the label where rock'n'roll was born! The Rock 'n' Roll Collection features 40 tracks from the most important record label in music history, each remastered from the original Sun Records master tapes. A comprehensive introduction to the most famous and influential music recordings of all time. Elvis Presley introduced the world to the sound of rockabilly in 1954 on recordings he made at Sun Records. These epitomised the famous 'Sun sound' and set the stage for the rock'n'roll explosion that followed. This new raw and exciting sound was a remarkable fusion of white country and black R&B and quickly found an enthusiastic audience among the youth of the day. Presley's extraordinary success with Sun Records led to the small Memphis-based label becoming a magnet for aspiring rockabilly singers from across the American South. Despite its relatively short existence, this "Sun sound" has stood the test of time and is still just as popular with listeners of all ages. In addition to Elvis and other well-known names such as Jerry Lee Lewis, Johnny Cash, Carl Perkins, Charlie Rich and Roy Orbison, other major label artists such as: Billy Lee Riley, Sonny Burgess, The Miller Sisters, Warren Smith, Malcolm Yelvington, Jimmy Wages and Earl Hooker have made significant contributions to the double album. Includes such rock'n'roll classics as Mystery Train, That's All Right, Blue Suede Shoes, Great Balls Of Fire, I Walk The Line, Yakety Yak, Rock Island Line, Good Rockin' Tonight, Red Hot, Ooby Dooby, Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On and many more!
