What is the opening date of this recording studio opened by a rock and roll pioneer in Memphis, Tennessee, where Million Dollar Quarter was recorded?
Million Dollar Quartet "Million Dollar Quartet" is a recording of an impromptu jam session involving Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins, and Johnny Cash made on December 4, 1956, at the Sun Record Studios in Memphis, Tennessee. An article about the session was published in the "Memphis Press-Scimitar" under the title "Million Dollar Quartet". The recording was first released in Europe in 1981 as "The Million Dollar Quartet" with 17 tracks. A few years later more tracks were discovered and released as "The Complete Million Dollar Session". In 1990, the recordings were released in the United States as "Elvis Presley - The Million Dollar Quartet". This session is considered a seminal moment in rock and roll.
Bluesville Records Bluesville Records was a subsidiary of Prestige Records, launched in 1959 or 1960, with the primary purpose of documenting the work of the older classic bluesmen passed over by the changing audience. Such bluesmen as Roosevelt Sykes, Lightnin' Hopkins, Rev. Gary Davis, and Sonny Terry and Brownie McGhee recorded for the label, accounting for more than one-fourth of their overall output. By 1966, Bluesville stopped issuing LPs; items of blues-related interest appear to have then been diverted to Milestone Records, another imprint of Prestige.
