    5.0 out of 5 stars The definitive Jerry Lee Lewis Sun collection..., April 17, 2008
    This review is from: Jerry Lee Lewis: The Ultimate (The Sun Years) (Audio CD)
    This is it. The definitive Jerry Lee Lewis sun records collection. Coming from an ardent cheerleader of the great things Bear Family Records has done (I own dozens of their boxed sets and it is my favorite reiussue label by far), this means a lot. Further, I previously owned Bear Family's excellent 8 disc set, "Classic", covering this very era and have found myself much preferring this set. Considering the extremely high standards of Bear Family releases, how could this be better than "Classic"? Well, there are a few things that immediately come to my mind:

    5.0 out of 5 stars The most complete Jerry Lee Lewis Sun set yet, March 23, 2008
    This review is from: Jerry Lee Lewis: The Ultimate (The Sun Years) (Audio CD)
    I'm a huge fan of Bear Family records, but this set is actually superior

    Sun than even the "Classic" set from Bear Family. To my ears there is
    no difference in sound quality, either. Highly recommended if you can
    find it!

    The entire Sun recording history of Jerry Lee Lewis; forget all those lame compilations, this is ALL that is needed--in one place. Great sound quality too!
