The success of rock and roll has many fathers, but for many, it has one birthplace: Memphis, Tennessee, the home of Sun Records. Sam Phillips' label was crucial in bringing blues and rock music to a mainstream audience, providing early breaks for artists like B.B. King, Howlin' Wolf, Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis, Johnny Cash, Roy Orbison and Carl Perkins.

Last month, Curb Records released a special double-disc set chronicling the label's heyday in the '50s and early '60s, in honor of the label's anniversary back in March. Sun Records 60th Anniversary features early recordings from future blues legends King and Wolf (recorded at Sun Studios and released on the RPM and Chess labels), early sides by future superstar Presley (including "That's All Right" and Elvis' first two private demo recordings for the label), a track from the famous "Million Dollar Quartet" session (when Presley, Lewis, Cash and Perkins all enjoyed an impromptu collaboration in 1956), two tracks by Harold Jenkins - who would later enjoy success under the name Conway Twitty - and much more.

You can check it all out after the jump. (Thanks to Eric Luecking of Record Racks for the tip.)
