The Million Dollar Quartet

[CyberHippie]

Has anyone heard the Million Dollar Quartet sessions with Johnny Cash, Carl Perkins and Elvis?

Sounds like it could be pretty good. But alas I'm unable to find anything online to "preview".

I just poked around a bit, and all I could find was this minute's worth of backstage footage from 1955 -

Elvis, Buddy Holly, Carl Perkins, and Johnny Cash.

I'm sure that the Million Dollar Quartet featured Johnny Cash, Elvis Presley, Carl Perkins and *Jerry Lee Lewis*, not Buddy Holly.

Edit to add: that clearly *is* Buddy Holly in the video. But the *studio* recordings are definitely with Jerry Lee Lewis and not Buddy Holly.

Yes.

Here's a site with short snippets of samples from the new remaster:

Overall, the session was better on paper than in reality. What's cool is the Sun Studios guided tour in Memphis, which contains some of the original instruments and microphones from many famous recordings, including the Million Dollar Quartet. The tour makes Memphis an interesting place to visit since most of it is a dead urban wasteland.
