50 Golden Years: A Commemorative Sun Collection 1952-2002 - Various. 8-CD Set. (Fab-U-Lus - FBUBX002) Fab-U-Lus presents a unique celebration in words and music commemorating the 50th Jubilee of Sun Records, one of the most significant record labels in Pop music history. Long regarded as a cradle for the Blues and the birthplace of Rock'n'Roll, Sam Phillips' pioneering Sun studio helped launch the careers of such legends as Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash and Roy Orbison, and broke new ground with its innovative recording techniques, which in turn gave rise to the distinctive Sun "sound". Expertly compiled and annotated by chart-topping producer and music historian Stuart Colman, 50 Golden Years charts the Sun story from its earliest days as a roots-orientated Blues and Country imprint, to its role as the unrivalled champion of Southern Rockabilly and its subsequent struggle to maintain an identity amid the changing musical climate of the British invasion. Of special interest to Sun devotees will be Disc 8 From The Source, which incorporates interview excerpts together with recordings by 16 of Sun's major players.
