Wax Love present a reissue of The Million Dollar Quartet, originally recorded by the quartet of Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Carl Perkins, and Jerry Lee Lewis in 1956. On December 4, 1956, four young musicians gathered by pure chance at Sun Records in Memphis for what would become one of the greatest jam sessions ever. In fact, the four guys in question happen to be Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Carl Perkins, and Jerry Lee Lewis, hence the name Million Dollar Quartet" Not only does this recording show a glimpse of the real Elvis, but it actually stands as a musical artifact in itself. Ranging from gospel spirituals and country standards to covers of Bill Monroe and Chuck Berry songs, these four all-time rock icons play with all the ingredients that created rock and roll, just for the fun of it. A document showing the real feel of the early days of rock and roll, finally back on vinyl.
