		The first record on Sun was to be number 174 by "Little Walter" Horton and Jack Kelly titled "Blues in My Condition" [billed as by "Jackie Boy and Little Walter"] but a negative reaction to samples circulated to radio stations persuaded Phillips not issue the record commercially.
		Sun Records was first and foremost a singles label, only 12 albums were issued on Sun and another 8 on the Phillips International label.

	Painted Sun Records
		Bay area based singer/ songwriter Forest Sun is poised to follow his groundbreaking debut "Not Afraid" with his sophomore release "Plenty": a collection of songs that that further establishes his singular artistry and broadens the stroke of his seamless, deceptively simple interweaving of roots, jazz, folk, gospel, soul and speakeasy blues.
		Sun's recent albums is one of the most sincere and enjoyable albums I have heard in a long time.
		Forest Sun — his real name — is a Bay Area songwriter who inhabits a musical world populated by the spirits of ghosts and peers and somehow in his songs manages to keep all those identities separate from his.

		With a background in radio, a popular record to spearhead his efforts, and a flair for helping meld white rhythm and fl blues into a rockabilly rainbow, Sam soon had some of the planet's finest emerging artists circling around Sun.
		Before he was done, Phillips' small record label would boast a list of legends that would become the envy of every major recording company in the business.
		One of the major players of the day was RCA Records which would eventually purchase Elvis' contract from the then cash-needy Sun in late 1955 for a laughable $35,000.

	Barnes & Noble.com - Music: Sun Records: 25 More Blues Classics, CD
		Because it digs into the second layer of blues recorded at Sun Records, this CD, unlike its predecessor, Sun Records: 25 Blues Classics, doesn't contain the handful of Sun blues recordings that might be familiar to the non-specialist (Junior Parker's "Mystery Train," Rufus Thomas' "Bear Cat," Billy "The Kid" Emerson's "Red Hot").
		Still, Sun's blues catalog was deep and worthy enough to make this second dip another good sampling of early electric Memphis blues, almost all of it recorded between 1952 and 1955, ten of those tracks unissued at the time (though a couple more modern-sounding items from 1962 close out the set).
		The sound and performances are primal and recorded with effective starkness, and though the variety of approaches isn't huge, it does encompass some ballads, piano blues, and boogies in addition to the more guitar- and harmonica-driven, uptempo sleek raunchy stuff that is the most esteemed section of Sun's blues output.
