Carl Perkins - Movie Magg




Time for early Rockabilly as Carl Perkins sings his self-penned "Movie Magg."


Released in early 1955 on Flip #501.


This Flip Records was a short-lived subsidiary of Sam Phillips' Sun Records.


Sam had to shutter the label during 1955 after receiving a cease-and-desist letter from the owners of a same-named Los Angeles-based Rhythm and Blues label (best remember for The Six Teens' 1956 hit, a casual look).

This ranks as one of the all-time great Rock 'n' Roll recordings.

Recorded in Memphis in late 1955 and released on New Year's Day of 1956 on Sun #234.
