While we are on this nostalgia kick for good music, let me cross post this thread:

Rock 'n' roll pioneer Sam Phillips dead

The Cramps recorded their first album at Sun Studios (possibly including the take of Human Fly that appears on this boxed set). The Cramps also notably covered such Sun rockabilly songs as "Domino", "Her Love Rubbed Off", and "Bop Pills". Lux Interior has had a complete set of Sun singles since the early 1970s (he and his wife, Poison Ivy, visited the Sun Warehouse when singles were being closed out at something like 12/$1).

Additionally, Miriam Linna - the second drummer for the Cramps and possibly the first to record demo cuts, has since moved on to own a record label, Norton Records, with her husband, Billy Miller.

Norton has reissued all sorts of early rock and roll, garage cuts from the 1960s, and even some punk like the Dictators and Real Kids. And yes, Norton has issued some rare Sun recordings (as 45s on vinyl).
