Read the label carefully

Chris G's picture

One interesting article in this months edition is about how record labels got their names. The piece is illustrated with record lable lables. Which led me to wonder about the Sun records label.

Does anyone with some musical talent know if the notes round the edge of the iconic label form a tune? If so which one?

I'm assuming you go clockwise as to the go the other way really would be the devils music?

I've just checked...

..and it seems like random notes (maily Ds Bs and Gs) There no key signature so I'm assuming its in "C"

Don't know about the tune

But the number of beats in the bar seems irregular. Perhaps it was early prog?

As Steve Howe would invariably tell you...

The notes ain't the beats.

Maybe some

synthy knob twiddlers can use it as the basis of a "song" ?

It's gotta be

some sort of free-beat jazz-bop, daddy-o?

More like...

...designed so the tops/bottoms of the notes wouldn't overlap the top/bottom edge of the score.
