CASH, JOHNNY
ROCK ISLAND LINE (SUN/ CHARLY)
A diehard lover of authentic Rock'n'Roll music, Ding Dong (real name Alain Pourquier) was France's leading Rock'n'Roll dee-jay in the early Eighties when he produced an acclaimed series of 10" albums for Charly Records compiled from recordings made for Sam Phillips' legendary Sun label.
Ding Dong then launched into another series of 12" albums for Charly, following the same formula that had been so successful in the 10" series.
Although going on to record prolifically for Columbia, Mercury and American, his body of work cut for Sun Records of Memphis, Tennessee are held by many of his fans to be his finest recordings.The sleeve artwork features a host of vintage photos of Johnny Cash in his prime
