SUN RECORDS: THE BLUES YEARS 1950-1956 (9LP Box set, Sun Box 105)

Gigantic nine LP box with a 44 page booklet, released in 1984 this came closest to documenting the wide breadth of blues recordings cut by Sam Phillips at his 706 Union Sun studios in Memphis during the early 50s. Simply … a landmark achievement.
