Notes
This compilation of classic Johnny Cash repertoire is drawn from EPs issued variously in the US and the UK between 1958-60. It features several of his early hits (e. g. ‘I Walk The Line’, ‘Folsom Prison Blues’, ‘Frankie’s Man, Johnny’, ‘Seasons Of My Heart’), a few flips (e. g. ‘Give My Love To Rose’, ‘Honky Tonk Girl’) a number of killer album tracks (e. g. ‘The Wreck Of The Old ’97’) and seven sides from a pair of dedicated EPs (e. g. ‘Remember The Alamo’, ‘The Ballad Of Boot Hill’). These records appeared on either Sun or Columbia in the United States, and/or their licensees, London American or Philips, in the UK. In order to keep these two bodies of work apart, as their sound was so different, the Sun recordings are sequenced first (tracks 1-15), followed by Columbia (tracks 16-34).
