Sun Records & McIntosh Honor Johnny Cash With New Vinyl

Sun Records and McIntosh have teamed up to honor the legacy of Johnny Cash through the release of an 18-track vinyl of remastered and rarely heard recordings, dubbed McIntosh Sessions Volume 2: Pure Johnny Cash. The reworked tracks include “Train of Love,” “Ballad of a Teenage Queen,” “I Walk the Line” and many more.

“Sam Phillips had a way of capturing lightning in a bottle, and these early recordings of Johnny Cash perfectly exemplify that,” says Chase Gregory, Senior Director A&R + Sync, Sun Records. “Remastering them in high fidelity is a way of honoring that legacy with the care it deserves. This album is a glimpse into the recording session, as everything you hear was performed in one take with no overdubs. The result is a powerfully authentic, yet refined listening experience, that reminds us just how revolutionary Cash was from the very beginning.”

As part of the collaboration, McIntosh and Sun Records produced a limited-edition Sun Records MTI100 Integrated Turntable that combines a turntable, amplifier and preamplifier into one, Bluetooth-friendly design. More information on the vinyl and turntable is available here.
