Little High People Posted February 21, 2006 Report Posted February 21, 2006 (edited) Does anyone know the best way to collect his Sun Records stuff? There seem to be tons of different comps, boxes, etc ... I know Varese Sarabande put out a CD box last year of the original LPs (which are, themselves, compilations of singles for the most part) ... Is there a definitive box? I have a Get Back Records LP reissue of The Fabulous Sun Sound of Johnny Cash that is fantastic. I'd really like to check out the lesser known and more obscure Sun titles ... his catalog is so DEEP! Thanks. Edited February 21, 2006 by Little High People Quote
