4 out of 5 stars A Fine Collection.......2007-02-28

Here is a great collection of the Rockabilly-sound of Carl Perkins. This is a 2-CD set of one of the most influential guitarists ever. All of Carl's biigest hits are here, but more importantly, are the inclusion of his earliest releases which are much more country/honkytonk than those released by actual country/honkytonk stars of the same era! The sound is excellent although you do have to overlook the poorer recordings of those first few numbers included on the 2d disc. The liner notes are present, but not overly informative; really nothing to complain about, but they could be a bit more detailed. Still, I would have to say that this is probably the most basic, yet accurate, collection available.

5 out of 5 stars Don't Overlook This for Carl's Greatest!.......2003-08-31

If you're looking for one basic Carl collection, this may be your best bet. The sound is surprisingly OUTSTANDING ("warm, clear, punchy, vivid" are some words that come to my mind), better than the slightly "digital harsh"-sounding single disc that Rhino (which is usually one of the best for sonic quality) put out in the late '80s, and for the price of one disc you get 2 discs with 36 tracks total. And the booklet (with notes on every track here) is outstanding for a "budget" collection. Only the hardest of the hard-core fans will need more of Sun-era Carl, namely the expensive Bear Family box. This is the best collection (and value) for everyone else.

5 out of 5 stars The rock'n'roll years.......2005-03-15

Jerry Lee's personal life has been eventful to say the least, but his brilliance as a singer and pianist has never been in question. As far as his music is concerned, there were two distinct phases to his recording career - the rock'n'roll music of the late fifties and early sixties (the subject of this compilation) and the country music of the late sixties and seventies (brilliant but often overlooked, best represented on Rhino's out of print Anthology).

Jerry Lee's later switch to country music should not have surprised anybody as his rock'n'roll recordings included a fair number of rocking covers of country songs. Indeed, his very first single was a cover of Crazy arms (originally a country song by Ray Price). However, it was Jerry Lee's second single, Whole lotta shaking going on, that gave him a major international hit. More classic hits followed (Great balls of fire, Breathless, High school confidential, Loving up a storm, Baby baby bye bye) but Jerry Lee soon became a controversial figure, which affected his popularity and (ultimately) record sales.

Jerry Lee managed a UK top ten with a cover of What'd I say (Ray Charles) in 1961, but that was his last major pop hit on either side of the Atlantic. He only had three further (minor) hits in the UK (Sweet little sixteen, Good golly miss Molly, Chantilly lace). Of these, Chantilly lace was a 1972 recording and is outside the scope of this compilation.

This compilation includes all of Jerry Lee's hits from the fifties and early sixties as well as his distinctive covers of various R+B, pop and country songs including You win again, Mean woman blues, I'll sail my ship alone, Cold cold heart and Save the last dance for me.

Every rock'n'roll fan needs a Jerry Lee compilation. This is as good as any you ewill find.

Customer Reviews:

4 out of 5 stars Alternate versions of some hits included.......2003-06-22

Although this was a full set of Sun hits, it was disappointing to find that "I Walk the Line", "Folsom Prison Blues","Don't make me go" are actually alternate versions that were not the original hit versions. This should have been made clear in the liner notes.

5 out of 5 stars The CD for Johnny Cash and the Sun Years.......2001-10-11

This is it. This is the one. If you're looking for the one compilation that contains the best collection of JR's Sun recording, this two-disc set is it. Quality is top-notch, as is the song selection.
