| Lamplighters - Loving, Rocking, Thrilling: The Complete Federal Recordings Of the many, many groups who recorded for the King/Federal/DeLuxe group of labels during the 1950s, few are as deserving of their own legally-licensed compact disc as the Lamplighters. Although just about all their recordings have been reissued in years gone by (with inferior sound and presentation) on bootlegs, "Loving, Rocking, Thrilling" marks the first time that their entire discography has been reissued from pristine transfers that have been made directly from the original master tapes. They have not sounded this good - well, probably ever. Like so many of their LA-based vocal group contemporaries, the Lamplighters were a wild bunch, given to the kind of drinking, doping, fighting and womanizing that would become de rigeur later in the Led Zeppelin era of rock'n'roll. However, they always managed to leave their rock'n'roll excesses at the studio door and to restrict any recorded uproar to their superlative, gospel-charged performances - which were mostly led by one of the greatest voices in the entire history of rock'n'roll music, Thurston Harris. Signed to Federal in 1953 by the label's then-A&R chief Ralph Bass, the group cut enough material to release a dozen sublime 45s (and/or 78s) between then and 1956. It says much for their quality that, although not one of these great records was a hit, the company kept calling them back for session after session in the hope that something they cut would eventually chart. The commercial failure of the Lamplighters' Federal records is difficult to comprehend. Certainly, Thurston Harris's soulful delivery can't be faulted. Like his hero Johnny Tanner of the '5' Royales, his vocal style was way ahead of its time, and looking forward to the soul era rather than to doo wop pioneers like the Ravens and the Brown Dots. Whatever the reasons for the continuous lack of chart success, Federal certainly gave them ample opportunity in the studio to prove their mettle. Sometimes it just comes down to that old saying, "You can have the right stuff, you can make the right moves, but you still have to get lucky." The Lamplighters didn't get lucky. While nothing they cut for Federal DID chart, the Lamplighters eventually found themselves on many other hit records in the second half of the 1950s when - as the Sharps - they did vocal backup for Duane Eddy (Rebel Rouser) and for Thurston Harris when went solo (Little Bitty Pretty One). Eventually, in the early 60s, the Sharps evolved into the Rivingtons and had big hits of their own with the original versions of those rock'n'roll perennials Papa Oom Mow Mow and The Bird's The Word. These Federal sides, though, are where it all began for Thurston Harris, Al Frazier, Leon Hughes, Willie Ray Rockwell and Matthew Nelson. And as you will hear, they stand the test of time most admirably. Whether "loving" or "rocking", the Lamplighters are never less than "thrilling"!! By BILLY VERA & TONY ROUNCE (ACE RECORDS) |

| Ray Charles - Sinner's Prayers 1951-54 the GENIUS - here he is. From his first, already confident and superb steps in the new direction as he gave his cool Nat Cole inspired jazz/Pop stylings a massive injection of Gospel and SOUL, all the way to lording it on the R&B charts, and his bigtime crossover breakthroug! Enough of a career for most entertainers, but for Ray everything from Pop success, to becoming an elder statesman of the Black community in America (and the world!) was still in the future! |

| Shirley Gunter - Oop Shoop - The Flair And Modern Recordings 1953-1957 Shirley Gunter and the Queens are often cited as being the first fully-fledged female doo wop group. Even if that’s impossible to prove with 100% accuracy, they were certainly among the first in that field. What is beyond question, is the fact that their 1954 Flair recording of Oop Shoop was the first record of its kind to make a national impact, in the early days of rock‘n’roll. That’s to say that it was the first to be written and performed, with any degree of success, by a group of young black women. Although we’ve featured several of Shirley’s recordings on numerous Ace CD and vinyl compilations down the years, it’s perhaps surprising to note that we’ve never actually given the lady her own full-length album. The news of her upcoming debut UK appearance in November, at this year’s Rhythm Riot, gave us the timely reminder that we had yet to do so. Thus it was that earlier this year I had the extreme pleasure of reviewing all of Ms Gunter’s 1950s Flair and Modern tapes, with a view to putting such a compilation together – a task that I found both enjoyable and easy! A CD entitled Oop Shoop is, perhaps inevitably, the result. Shirley formed the Queens with some high school friends, largely at the urging of her famous brother Cornel – future member of the Coasters and, back in ’54, a key component of the Flairs, who were signed to the Bihari brothers’ label of that name. You can read in full about the way Shirley’s career panned out in Jim Dawson’s extensive sleevenotes, but I can tell you that it was Cornel who arranged for Shirley to audition for the Biharis and that, suitably impressed, the brothers signed her more or less on the spot. She recorded her first couple of 45s as a solo act. Fine as they were, they made little headway and it wasn’t until Shirley brought in both three high school friends and an uptempo shuffle number that she had worked up with one of said friends, Blondene Taylor, that things started to happen. Oop Shoop was cut in just a couple of takes and the rest is, well, certainly rock ‘n’ roll history at the very least! Shirley recorded a few more 78/45s with the Queens, before teaming up with the brother and the rest of the Flairs for a number of equally fine releases. Of those Headin’ Home came closest to becoming a real hit without actually making a significant national impact. Shirley then wound down her time with what was now Modern records by going out the same way she came in, with a couple more solo releases. Although she never had another hit of note, a quick listen to things like her original version of the Platters’ I’m Sorry and the catchy Ipsy Opsie Ooh will demonstrate that this was neither for the lack of trying, nor of talent. Not all of Shirley’s tapes have survived the passage of time, so there are a couple of disc dubs included here But I’m especially delighted that we have at last been able to reissue Oop Shoop itself from the original 45rpm production master tape. This was thought for many years to have permanently vanished, and up to now Ace and everybody else who’s reissued it has been using an excellent ‘safety copy’ tape. However, the actual tape for both sides of the 45 turned up in the Flip tape inventory when Ace purchased that catalogue a few years back. We don’t know how it got there, and we’re not asking questions – but we were very glad that it had found its way home, and we’re delighted to give the original tape of Oop Shoop its first digitisation in this CD! There’s little doubt that Oop Shoop’s simplistic lyric and irrepressible beat also paved the way for the future success of rockin’ fillies like the Bobbettes - or that, a little further down the line, it also provided an inspirational root for any number of Cookies, Marvelettes, Jaynettes, Chantels and Supremes that you care to mention. Our package features all of Shirley’s commercial recordings for Flair and Modern, plus three rare demos cut with just the accompaniment of a piano and the Flairs – and thus it also features almost everything she ever recorded, as beyond these there are only two isolated singles, on other labels, to complete her discography! In a recording career that barely spanned three years, Shirley had been a member of the first hitmaking female doo-wop group, she’d written or co-written many of her biggest hits and best recordings – and she’d given rock‘n’roll one of its earliest and best anthems, in the immortal Oop Shoop. She quit the recording scene, like so many of her distaff peers, to marry and raise a family. It’s a shame that she didn’t stick it out a bit longer, but her accomplishments during her active career would be more than enough to satisfy many whose time in showbusiness was thrice that of Shirley Gunter’s.
