| | The Sun Records Label Story |
| | The record was unsuccessful, and Sam Phillips subsequently negotiated a contract with Modern Records for Joe Hill Louis recordings. | | | Sam Phillips knew that he couldn't keep Elvis when his Sun contract expired, so he sold Elvis' contract and all of Elvis Presley's Sun recordings to RCA Victor for $40,000, split $35,000 for Sun Records and $5,000 to Elvis (which may have represented unpaid record royalties). | | | Sun Records was first and foremost a singles label, only 12 albums were issued on Sun and another 8 on the Phillips International label. |
