Sweeter Than Candy: The Rarities Collection

Carl Perkins announced his arrival on Sun Records in January 1956 with the incredible and perennial quot;Blue Suede Shoes,quot; 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.
