From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Phillips International Records is a sub-label of Sun Records started by Sam Phillips in October 1957.

The design had the whole label as a blue and white Earth-globe with "Phillips" prominent between the words "Sam C." and "International Corp" on a red, white, and blue ribbon to the left and below.

Based in Memphis, the label was home to the million-selling " Raunchy" by Bill Justis, who later became a major player in arranging and conducting. Carl Mann had hits with " Mona Lisa" and " Pretend" in 1959, and Charlie Rich recorded "Lonely Weekends" for the label in 1960. Phillips International Records was dissolved in 1963 after Philips Records complained about the similar name. [1]
