New cdboxes from Bear Family Records.

Looks cool, but damn where's Faron Young - The Mercury Years. Please Richard!

I'm still miffed it does not cover the late 70's & early 80's era recordings from artists such as "The Masked Orion" and Rita Remington.

These boxes covers the years that blues,rockabilly and country was the main music at SUN records.
It was these years that changed the music of the world,and the most important artists in music buisnees recorded these years.Heres a list of important people not artists that worked in the studio.
Jack Clement,record producer.
Scotty Moore engineer,later guitarist for Elvis.
Bill Justis music arranger.
Artists that became a later important star.
Mack Vickery artist/songwriter.Wrote one of George Straits greatest hits thefireman.

Charley Pride recorded lots of demos at SUN studio in late 50s.
Most famous black country artist,best selling artist after Elvis at RCA Records.
These where the big years musically and best selling.

Thanks Doc .. You the man as always i knew i could trust in you

You are welcome. Can you believe how many great songs and artists are on that box?

It's a treat for any fan of Sam Phillips and his blues, R&B and gospel recordings from 706 Union Avenue.

I must admit they sure look fantastic. Unfortunately I don't have the wherewithal...

Looks fantastic but not an essential purchase for me. It is already quite expensive to keep the Elvis collection up to date (audio wise) and I stopped collecting books and other stuff decades ago. Since this is all PD material (and most likely no royalties are paid to the artists or their relatives), I may go for a free download. Downloading for personal use over here is as legal as PD law itself so I see no moral problem here.

i agree, same thing i do, I sometimes download a album until i have the real thing. and its legal here for personal use.

The box sets look fantastic but considering that the material is PD nowdays the price of over 125 euros per set seems high. If they were a little less expensive I would go for them.

Man, I'd love to have that set! I have a set of the Ricky Nelson Bear Family box that someone traded me (for something that I had that I don't remeber now what it was) and I love the music on it.

I bet the soundquality will surprice you.
And there will propably Elvis picture never seen before

Wonder if they found any Elvis outtakes that were recorded over? They found the jan 10,11,56 and april 56 sessions when doing another artist for rca set.

Everything is possible...

No doubt these boxes will be stellar, but since I can't afford such luxuries right now, I'm very grateful for getting a beyond reasonably priced copy of Sun Records: 50 Golden Years, Commemorative Collection. (8 cd) Amazingly, track for track, it is no less potent than any other Various Artist Sun collection I own. Incredible mix covering lots of obscure gems across the genres covered in the Bear Boxes.

It blows me away every time I put it on. Would still be well worth getting a used copy...

I got this Box.It has an amazing good sound,and does have many unusual songs on it.Buy it if you dont have Money for the Bear boxes.

I have some CDs from "Disky":

The Ultimate Memphis Country Collection Vol. 1 (2 CD)
The Ultimate Memphis Rockabilly Collection Vol. 1 (2 CD)
The Ultimate Memphis Rock & Roll Collection Vol. 1 (2 CD)
The Ultimate Memphis Rockabilly Collection Vol. 2 (2 CD)
The Ultimate Memphis Rock & Roll Collection Vol. 2 (2 CD)

There's also some pretty good stuff on it, especially an outtake of Jerry Lee Lewis' "Put Me Down", which I really cherish and love.

Unfortunately I never managed to get Vol. 2 of the Country collection.


What you can do is wait until the Bear boxes show up on eBay or amazon marketplace, mostly in pretty good condition and for a cheaper price.
