Carl Perkins - Sweeter Than Candy: The Rarities Collection

Carl Perkins announced his arrival on Sun Records in January 1956 with the incredible and perennial Blue Suede Shoes, the first single ever to top the American Pop, Country and R&B charts. Until Johnny Cash and Jerry Lee Lewis became megastars, nobody - and that includes Elvis - sold more records at SUN than Carl Perkins. Carl left behind a treasure trove of recorded material consisting of unissued titles and studio outtakes. Many of these tracks have appeared over the years but, incredibly, there were still vintage recordings awaiting discovery.
