Sun Records 78/45rpm standard singles are mono. Yellow label. They have a circle of musical notes and staff around the entire label, with exception of the bar wherein "Memphis, Tennessee" appears. The letters SUN with sun rays pressed in light brown on the rooster (on 78rpm) at top of the label. The original Sun label issued singles in a SUN 174 series to SUN 407 All of the original Sun releases came in plain brown sleeves. Only three Sun singles released in picture sleeves: Sun 281 ''Great Balls Of Fire'' b/w ''You Win Again'' by Jerry Lee Lewis (1957); Sun 295 ''Guess Things Happen That Way'' b/w ''Come In Stranger'' by Johnny Cash (1958); Sun 296 ''High School Confidential'' b/w ''Fools Like Me'' by Jerry Lee Lewis (1958). All other Sun picture sleeves are counterfeits. Sun Records later started producing sleeves that incorporated the yellow sun rays. Collectors often display the original Suns with the sun ray sleeve, but when the record was released, it was produced in a brown plain sleeve. This playlist contains: Sun 174-407. The A and B sides of a single are as described in the book ''Good Rockin' Tonight: Sun Records And The Birth Of Rock And Roll'' by Colin Escott & Martin Hawkins (1991) This 706 Union Avenue Sessions is a non-commercial labor of love and is in no way associated with any commercial activity.
