More Charlie Rich from the Midnight Special. This is an excellent live version of his first hit, "Lonely Weekends", which originally came out on Phillips International (a subsidiary of Sun Records) in 1960.

@johbeil Womöglich ging ja auch aus dem/der alten Zonophone dann eben "Regal Zonophone". Ist nur so eine Idee. Ich mein, nehmen wir mal alles von Electrola bis EMI, die #Polydor in all ihren Varianten und Firmenkonstruktionen, Brunswick, London und wie sie nicht alle heissen bzw. hiessen. #Philips mit seinem OhGottOhGott-Label #Fontana fiele mir da auch noch ein.

Oder Sam Phillip's #SunRecords der weitere Labels wie #PhillipsInternational (nicht zu verwechseln mit "unserer" Philips) oder auch #CharlyRecords gründete und betrieb.

Wobei Charly wiederum, bis heute noch, meine ich, viele der damals unveröffentlich gebliebenen Sun-Aufnahmen raushaut. So z.B. Jerry Lee Lewis "Friday Night" und andere Schätze aus den 1950ern. Kurze, knackige Tracks mit grade mal 1:50 bis zwei Minuten Spielzeit pro Titel. Herrlich.🤩🤩

"Rocket und frohlocket", sprach's der Herr!


Ja, ich bin alt! 🤭

Spent yesterday in Memphis, Tennessee checking out Graceland, Sun Records/Studios, and Beale Street. So much early Rock & Roll history.

I liked the city and it makes me shake my head at the smack talkers about it. Yes, it is gritty and low income. I think most are uncomfortable about the majority African-American population which leads to the smack talk.

Definitely a city for people who love music and want to see some history.
