Es war die bemerkenswerteste Karriere in der modernen Country Music. Diese Retrospektive der frühen Jahre beginnt mit den Aufnahmen für SUN Records. Die Songs sind zwar auf unzähligen Zusammenstellungen enthalten, vielfach kopiert und nachträglich bearbeitet. In dieser jedoch Edition sind sie zum ersten Mal komplett, unbearbeitet und in erstklassiger Tonqualität enthalten. Zusätzlich sind einige unveröffentlichte Stücke hier zu hören. Das Set wird abgerundet von Cashs ersten Aufnahmen für Columbia Records, einschließlich 'I Still Miss Someone' und 'Don't Take Your Guns To Town'. Die 5. CD ist eine komplette Columbia-Session, die ihren ganz eigenen Charme durch abgebrochenen Aufnahmen und Studiogesprächen entfaltet. / Bear Family's anthology of Johnny Cash's recordings for SUN was the first truly complete edition, and the first Sun anthology in Bear Family's trademark ultra-high sound quality. The fifth CD in the box features a complete early Columbia session with false starts, out-takes and studio conversation.
