STEP INTO SUN RECORDS ➔

The Ultimate Guide to a Revolution

Over 70 years ago, visionary producer Sam Phillips – the man rightly known as the Father of Rock’n’Roll – launched a record label that didn’t just capture a sound; it sparked a cultural explosion.

Sun Records became the definitive home of the genre’s greatest rebels, from Elvis Presley and Johnny Cash to Jerry Lee Lewis and Carl Perkins. Together, they brought a raw, gritty authenticity to a music scene that was electrifying the youth of America and changing history forever. In the latest edition of Vintage Rock Presents, we dive into the entire story.

In this special tribute to the world’s most revolutionary label, we dig deep into our archives. We honour the powerhouse Women of Sun and shine a spotlight on cult heroes like Billy Lee RileyCharlie Feathers, and Hayden Thompson.

Inside, you’ll also find exclusive insights from former Sun promoter Barbara Barnes Sims and an archival interview with the legendary drummer Jimmy Van Eaton. Plus, we count down the Greatest Sun Singles of all time – will your favourite take the No.1 spot?

Without Sam Phillips and the Memphis magic of Sun, the history of music would look very different. Don’t miss this definitive celebration of America’s favourite rock’n’roll label and the icons it launched into superstardom.
