IF YOU’RE INTO OBSCURE YET COOL, ESOTERIC YET HIP, INSCRUTABLE AND STRANGELY
DESIRABLE -- AND AREN’T WE ALL -- THIS IS FOR YOU ! “PHILLIPS INTERNATIONAL” WAS
A SISTER LABEL TO “SUN RECORDS”, NAMED AFTER “SUN” FOUNDER SAM PHILLIPS, BEST
KNOWN FOR BEING THE HOME LABEL FOR BILL JUSTIS, CHARLIE RICH, AND CARL MANN.
IN THE ’50s, THERE JUST WEREN’T MANY LPs RELEASED ON “PHILLIPS INTERNATIONAL”.
SAM SIMPLY WASN’T A BIG FAN OF THE ALBUM FORMAT ; IN FACT, THE FRANK BALLARD
ALBUM WAS THE LAST OF ONLY EIGHT ALBUMS THE LABEL ISSUED AT ALL, AND AS FOR
BALLARD, IT WAS HIS ONLY RECORD PERIOD -- HE HAD NO SINGLE AND NO OTHER ALBUM !
THE PHILLIP REYNOLDS BAND WAS REGIONALLY KNOWN IN THE SOUTH, BUT NEVER QUITE
CRACKED THE NATIONAL SCENE.   IT’S SOME RECORDING -- BUT WHAT ELSE WOULD YOU
EXPECT FROM A LABEL FOUNDED BY THE MAN WHO DISCOVERED ELVIS, CARL PERKINS,
JERRY LEE LEWIS, AND JOHNNY CASH ? *** FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION WE HAVE HERE A
STUNNING   COPY OF THIS INSANELY RHYTHM   AND BLUES ALBUM,    ONE OF THE MOST
RAREST   IN EXISTENCE...    SOLID AND CLEAN COVER WITH NO WRITING, SMALL WRINKLE
TO UPPER RIGHT SIDE –– THE VINYL RECORD LOOKS IN GORGEOUS CONDITION WITH JUST
ONE SHORT, LIGHT VISIBLE MARK. AWESOME GLOSS ON THE PLAYING SURFACE AND LABELS
ARE CLEAN - - MATRIX NUMBERS ETCHED IN THE DEAD WAX : S-232 / S-233 ... SO RARE ..!
