HERE IS SOMETHING FOR CARL PERKINS FANS.

CARL PERKINS HAS RIGHTFULLY BEEN ADVOCATED AS BEING ONE OF THE MAJOR INFLUENCES ON ROCKABILLY, ROCK'N'ROLL AND COUNTRY MUSIC. HIS CLASSIC "BLUE SUEDE SHOES" WAS ONE OF THE FIRST ROCKABILLY RECORDS TO SELL A MILLION COPIES WHICH IN TURN EARNED CARL A GOLD RECORD AS WELL AS A GOLD CADILLAC AS A GIFT FROM SAM PHILLIPS OF SUN RECORDS. SAM CONFIDED MANY TIMES OVER THE YEARS THAT "BLUE SUEDE SHOES" SAVED SUN RECORDS WHICH WAS IN A BIT OF FINANCIAL TROUBLE AT THE TIME. SAM HAD SOLD HIS CONTRACT ON ELVIS PRESLEY TO RCA VICTOR TO RAISE SOME CASH TO KEEP THE LABEL ALIVE BUT IT WAS CARL PERKINS WHO REALLY PUT SUN RECORDS ON THE MAP..

THIS 7'' 45 RPM SINGLE IS LIFTED FROM THE "CLASS OF '55" SESSIONS RECORDED AT SUN STUDIOS IN 1986 WHERE CARL WAS JOINED BY JERRY LEE LEWIS, JOHNNY CASH AND ROY ORBISON IN A TRIBUTE TO SUN RECORDS AND SAM PHILLIPS. BOTH THE RECORD AND SLEEVE ARE AS CLOSE TO BEING MINT AS YOU CAN GET.

TRACK LISTING: Side 1 - Birth Of Rock And Roll / Side 2 - Rock And Roll (Fais Do Do).
