The Million Dollar Quartet - The Complete Million Dollar Session		This wasn't the first time a jam session like this occurred at Sun. It's just that this was the first time it was fairly well-documented, mainly because 3 of the 4 guys had major hit records at the time. When Elvis was still with Sun, Johnny Cash was in the studio when he cut "Baby, Let's Play House" & Carl Perkins was in the control room when he cut "When It Rains, It Really Pours" (as evidenced by the original session tapes).

You'll have to remember that Sun was a rather informal place back then, people drifted in & out of the studio all the time. That's why you'll find people like Roy Orbison & Charlie Feathers (just to name 2) guesting on other peoples' records (uncredited)... And Billy Lee Riley's Little Green Men basically became Sun's in-house band from 1957-59 for those artists that didn't have their own band...

Johnny Cash And The Tennessee Two - Showtime		Original Sun recordings overdubbed with fake "live" applause in order to "cash in" (bad, bad, un-intended pun) on the then-current success of Cash's prime-time TV show.

Johnny Cash And The Tennessee Two - Original Golden Hits Volume I		Inadvertently contains an alternate take of "Cry! Cry! Cry!".

Mom's Apple Pie - Mom's Apple Pie		I have a sealed copy of this, 1st cover. Let's see how many sharp-eyed observers can figure out why this cover had to be re-worked...?
