Various Artists: Get Rhythm! Hot Wax from the Sun Vaults Castle Music CMXBX1476

“... playing and listening to these gems in their original format was a joy. The six repro 45s come enclosed within a sturdy 7" box which also includes a fold-out insert containing expert background information on the tracks from Trevor Cajiao... As a lover of both vinyl and Sun I would like to see this project prove a success and I already have six more classic platters in mind for box number two.”
Now Dig This

“Here you've got music from Sun's best years when Rock'n'Roll was cool, loose and free. Real music from tough country cats who played their hearts out and don't mind about A&R men, sales, record business or charts. They had something to sing and they delivered it in that very special place with freedom and, sometimes, 'Early Times' bourbon. No remix, no digital sound, no computer! That's why the best way to get with the 50s' sound is to... spin wax on turntable! Real old wax at 45rpm or 78rpm (that's even better) speed!

To close let me rework 'Matchbox' to explain what it's about:
I am an old poor Cat
Just long way from the 50's
I am an old poor Cat
Just long way from the 50's
I'll never be in time
Everything I do in wandering in the past
I'm settin' here playin' my records
Would have a "Sun" box to hold them
I'm settin' here playin' my records
Would have a "Sun" box to hold them
I ain't got no Cd player
Just own old rockin' 45 rpm's
Well let me playin' them
Till the turntable break
Well let me playin' them
Till the turntable break
When it will happen
I should move upstairs and meet my friend Carl!
So now, buy that box set or be square.”
