Gee...I Wish-Sun Years Plus on CD

A landmark first CD reissue of one of the best... but least known... R&B singer-pianists from Memphis. Twenty six high class boogie, blues and R&B sides recorded between 1951 and 1954 by Sam Phillips at Sun Records. Includes all 4 Billy 'Red' Love sides recorded by Sun and issued by Chess Records in 1951 and '52 including the extremely rare, never before reissued - My Teddy Bear Baby / Poor Man. Few collectors have even seen this record.

Includes the rare promotional disc for Hart's Bakery in Memphis - Hart's Bread Boogie. 10 tracks not originally issued in the 1950s and 10 more tracks issued here for the first time. Features the cream of Memphis R&B musicians. The booklet by Martin Hawkins contains the first ever biography of Love's unusual career and amazing life.
