“The 101 Strings Orchestra is one of the most productive and reliable names in instrumental easy listening music” (AMG review)

This ensemble, founded by producer/engineer David L. Miller, was introduced to the public on Miller’s Somerset label in 1957. Miller found a way to present the sound and style of orchestras popular at the time, such as Mantovani, by hiring fine European musicians, and made the 101

Strings Orchestra into a brand name. The 101 Strings Orchestra recorded hundreds of albums, mostly either around a specific popular or cultural theme, some well-known artist or songwriter, a TV or movie theme, songs originating from a particular country, or recordings of popularly-known standard tunes. During its evolution over the past 50 years, the sound of the 101 Strings has been built on a reverence for melody, a simple and fresh production, and a pleasant and relaxing atmosphere. The original performances have been recorded under the most exacting audio engineering standards with specially designed microphones. Countdown Media has re-mastered these sound recordings using 24-Bit mastering techniques, and digitized from the original tapes with state of the art equipment in order to provide the highest quality standards.

101 Strings Orchestra Catalogue

The Everest catalogue is one of the truly historic, ground-breaking music catalogues of the past half century. Everest created a number of historical sonic and music benchmarks during its early history in the 1950s and 60s. Not only was it one of the first “World Music” labels (pre-dating such labels as Nonesuch) with its Olympic imprint, containing examples of everything from Portuguese Fado to “Flute Music of the Andes”, but Everest was the first, and one of only two

labels (with the historic Mercury Living Presence to follow) to record in a 3-channel sound field, mostly with the London Symphony, London Philharmonic, and New York Philharmonic (using the moniker of the “Stadium Symphony Orchestra”, due to contractual obligations). Some of the famed conductors active during the middle of the 20th century, including Leopold Stokowski, Sir Malcom Sargent and Sir Adrian Boult, were responsible for these groundbreaking recordings, imprinted on 35mm video tape (also a landmark accomplishment, which would hearken the arrival a decade later of the usage of 2-inch master tape for studio recording).

Everest’s wide-ranging repertoire not only included world music and audiophile Classical recordings, but also some of the greatest names in Jazz and Blues, from Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers to Billie Holiday and Ray Charles. These and other novelty recordings (including a great Swiss yodeling album!) are descriptive of what has become a heritage audiophile and historically significant label, for now and in the future.

The iconic Sun Records catalogue is now available for licensing through Countdown Media. The label’s impressive roster of legendary artists that influenced American Music includes more than 6,500 master recordings of the likes of Johnny Cash, Roy Orbison, Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins, Conway Twitty, Howlin Wolf and Junior Parker, among many others.

The Sun Entertainment Catalogue contains masters from the labels Sun Record Company, Plantation Records, SSS International (“Harper Valley PTA”), Red Bird, Blue Cat, Blue Fox, and a few others. Founded by Sam Phillips in Memphis in 1952, the Sun Record Company became quickly a home for many talented musicians of the rich and diverse musical scene in and around Memphis at that time. Prior to the big Rockabilly & Rock’n Roll records, Sun recorded mostly black musicians, for Phillips loved R&B and wanted to bring black music to a white audience. Still, he was not limiting himself to one genre or style but recorded whatever he thought people would love to hear, gospel, blues, hillbilly, country, boogie, and western. In 1954 Sam Phillips found Elvis Presley who helped form the Sun Sound by mixing Country music with R&B. The success of Elvis (his recording contract was sold to RCA Victor in 1955) attracted other great talent to the label including Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, and Carl Perkins. These four soon became known as the Million Dollar Quartet. More legendary label mates include Roy Orbison, Charlie Rich, Bill Justis, Harold Jenkins (a.k.a. Conway Twitty) and other equally memorable musical talents who made their way to the Pop, R&B and Country charts. Sun Records contributed to the rise and popularity of 20th century Rock’n Roll and influenced many younger musicians, particularly the Beatles.

In 1969, Shelby Singleton (former producer at Mercury) purchased the Sun label from Phillips. Singleton merged his own labels into Sun International Corporation and started to re-release and re-package compilations of Sun‘s early artists. John Singleton, Shelby’s brother and partner for many years, oversees the business affairs of Sun today. Countdown is proud to offer the master recordings of this renowned catalogue to its customers.
