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  ..!
