Clyde Stacy - Hoy Hoy - Gonna Shake This Shack Tonight
1-CD DigiPac (4-plated) with 28-page booklet, 22 tracks, playing time 52:45. --'Hoy Hoy' indeed! This record really rocks - 22 tracks recorded by an important but little-reissued Oklahoma-born singer from the classic era of rock 'n' roll! Here are all 12 tracks issued on six singles on the Candlelight, Bullseye, and Len record labels between 1957 and 1961! Also another 10 vocal and instrumental tracks not originally issued - and with Big Al Downing on piano! When Clyde's 'So Young/Hoy Hoy' hit #68 in June 1957 it was the first Hot 100 entry by an artist based in the Lubbock area of Texas - beating Clyde's high school mate Buddy Holly by six months! Relocating to Pennsylvania in 1958, Clyde recorded in New York and registered Top 30 hits in Canada with 'So Young', 'Baby Shame' and 'Nobody's Darling'! Clyde's TV appearances included 'Bandstand' and 'The Patti Page Show'! The 28-page booklet by Wayne Russell expertly tells Clyde's story from Oklahoma to Lubbock, to Scranton and back home. It contains rare photographs and interviews with Clyde Stacy! Now, Clyde is scheduled to make his European debut at the Hemsby Rock 'n' Roll Weekender in May 2011, and plans to 'warm-up' at the Las Vegas Rockabilly Weekend in April. Clyde Stacy is back! -- This CD is the first comprehensive look at the career of Clyde Stacy, a man who grew up in Tulsa, went to school in Lubbock with Buddy Holly, had a hit with a rocking version of the R&B song 'Hoy Hoy', moved to Scranton, appeared on 'Bandstand' and other TV shows, recorded in New York with top session men, saw many hits in Canada, and is still working country, blues, and rockabilly venues. His part in the story of rock 'n' roll has been little-known but is told here in words, pictures, and rocking music.

Fats Domino - Imperial Singles Vol. 4 1959-1961
The first three volumes of the Fats Domino Imperial Singles series (CDCHD 597, 649 and 689) saw New Orleans’ finest ascend from neophyte blues and boogie-woogie stylist to bona fide rock’n’roll star. With gold-plated hits of the calibre of ‘Ain’t That A Shame’, ‘Blueberry Hill’, ‘Blue Monday’ and ‘I’m Walkin’’ receding into history, it was assumed that Fats had peaked artistically. Wrong: One spin of this release will dispel that notion handsomely.

In the period 1959-1961, Domino had 13 US Top 30 pop hits. Leading the way were ‘I Want To Walk You Home’ (#8), ‘Be My Guest’ (#8) and ‘Walking To New Orleans’ (#6). Indicating Fats’ absurdly high standards, of the 26 tracks presented here only two failed to chart pop or R&B (‘I Just Cry’ and ‘Good Hearted Man’).

To put the era into perspective, rock’n’roll was taking an involuntary breather but R&B was brimming with self-confidence through the records of not only Fats Domino but also Ray Charles, Sam Cooke, the Drifters, Jackie Wilson and an upcoming James Brown. Even Chubby Checker’s twist craze was R&B under another name.

With longtime producer and songwriter partner Dave Bartholomew (see CDCHD 1303) still firmly in control of the sessions at Cosimo Matassa’s studio, Fats was subtly ringing the necessary changes: New Orleans parade rhythms were blended with South Louisiana swamp-pop songs from Bobby Charles and Jimmy Donley; bigger bands were drafted in, with young Wardell Quezergue writing arrangements; and occasional overdubs of orchestral accompaniment (surprisingly successful) and choruses (not so) were utilised.

The standout studio musicians included Domino’s trusty road-band members Lee Allen and Herb Hardesty (tenor saxophone); Walter “Papoose” Nelson and Roy Montrell (guitar); and Cornelius Coleman (drums). Bartholomew added fiery trumpet when required, while Fats’ imperious piano was ever present. In order to recapture the hit sound of the original Imperial 45s as heard over the radio, on jukeboxes and on home record players, this release is mono only.

What of Fats today? As an octogenarian, he has ageing problems and no longer performs. But his stock is higher than ever following his dramatic rescue during the horrors of Hurricane Katrina in 2005. He was honoured, with Dave Bartholomew, by the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame at its American Music Masters event in Cleveland last November. And Rick Coleman’s Domino biography, Blue Monday, has been published.

Fats’ Imperial recordings have now assumed classical proportions. I confidently predict that “The Imperial Singles Vol 4” will be seen as one of his best – and most enjoyable – compilations. There is still one more volume in this important series to come.

(John Broven’s first book, Walking to New Orleans – with its title, of course, based on Fats’ hit song – was inducted recently into the Blues Hall of Fame in Memphis, Tennessee. The US edition, entitled Rhythm & Blues in New Orleans, is still in print.)

Frankie Ford - Sea Cruise And Other Hits
This Frankie Ford collection brings together all of his late '50s and early '60s recordings in one package and includes the complete 'Sea Cruise' album; the title track of which is one of the most popular rock and roll anthems of all time!

Features the cream of New Orleans rock and roll session men including Dr. John.

With the combination of Frankie's great voice and gritty attitude and it's no wonder he was one of the pioneers of the early New Orleans R&B sound. Although his chart success is now a distant memory he is still recording and performing today.

Fully detailed liner notes cover his entire career make this another must have from Jasmine!

George Jones - Heartbreak Hotel - Gonna Shake This Shack Tonight
1-CD DigiPac (4-plated) with 48-spage booklet, 35 tracks. Playing time approx. 82 mns. - The greatest singer in country music history is renowned for ballads, but throughout his early career, he recorded rockin' songs... even a little rockabilly! This is the first anthology of Jones' rocking side! Includes extremely rare recordings, unreissued on CD or LP! Also includes the #1 country hits 'Why Baby Why' and 'White Lightnin''! - At 81, George Jones has enjoyed the status of world's greatest living country singer for more than half-century. Much of that reputation is rooted in raw, emotional ballads, such as 'He Stopped Loving Here Today', 'The Grand Tour', 'Walk Through This World With Me', 'She Thinks I Still Care', and 'Tender Years'. But that's only one part of the story. Jones was no less masterful on hotter material starting with his first hit, 'Why Baby Why'. This collection includes that first hit as well as rarities, obscurities, and shoulda-been-hits like 'No Money In This Deal', 'Too Much Water', 'Tall Tall Trees' (written by Roger Miller and later a #1 hit for Alan Jackson), 'Nothing Can Stop Me' and 'That's The Way I Feel', 'Revenooer Man' (written by Donny Young, aka Johnny Paycheck), 'Who Shot Sam', and 'Sparkling Brown Eyes'. And then there's Jones' only major pop hit (and #1 country hit) 'White Lightnin'' (written by the Big Bopper). - There's more! Starday Records coerced Jones into recording several rockabilly classics under the name of Thumper Jones: 'Rock It' and 'How Come It'. Short of cash, Jones also covered other artists' hits for Starday's budget-priced series of Dixie EPs. These included 'Heartbreak Hotel' and Johnny Horton's 'I'm A One-Woman Man' (a 1988 hit when George re-recorded it for Epic). The wilder side of Jones's life is well known; this collection assembles 35 of his most aggressive performances from Starday and Mercury...many of them featuring the classic east Texas honky tonk sound. Plus, there's a rare radio spot from his Starday years, notes by Rich Kienzle, and a detailed discography.

Glenn Reeves - Johnny On The Spot
44-page booklet, 25 tracks. Playing time approx. 59 minutes. - The first and only compilation of music by an important but little-reissued singer and songwriter! Includes the original demo recording of Heartbreak Hotel, one of the most important recordings in rock 'n' roll! All eight singles by Glenn Reeves issued on TNT, Republic, Atco and Decca in the 1950s are included! Also here are six unissued 1950s recordings and a very rare single from the 1960s on the Envy label! There are rare photographs and interviews with Reeves's friends and family! The comprehensive booklet by Martin Hawkins covers all of Glenn's various careers as a singer, songwriter, disc jockey, TV star, music promoter and more! -- This CD is the first comprehensive look at the career of Glenn Reeves, a man who was at the heart of the emerging rock 'n' roll styles of the '50s, from western bop to early rockers to rocking ballads. Reeves was an excellent singer although he was eclipsed by the success of others - he recorded 'Heartbreak Hotel' first - and he was a successful songwriter: 'Honey Bop', 'Rockin' Country Style', and 'I Won't Be Rockin' Tonite'. But he was even more successful as a TV star on a syndicated show out of Florida in the '60s and as a promoter of massive outdoor country music events in the '70s. His part in the story of rock 'n' roll has been little-known but it is no less important for that, and now it is told in full in words, pictures, and especially in his rocking music.

Jerry Lee Lewis - Live At Third Man Records
Live recording from Nashville, April 2011. Produced by Jack White.

Last year for Record Store Day a living breathing walking Saint visited Third Man Records and threw down the heavy boogie woogie live on stage. Backed by some of the best rock n roll musicians in the business (Steve Cropper?! Jim Keltner?! LIttle Jack Lawrence??!!), The Killer himself played a raucous set of his classic hits as well as some rock n roll and country standards. I saw grown men weep and children dancing in the streets. It was a beautiful once in a lifetime moment and you can now hear it all on a gorgeous slab of vinyl

Jimmy Donley - In The Key Of Heartbreak 2CD

I first became aware of Jimmy Donley in the mid-70s when a friend played me a single, credited to Kenny James coupling ‘A Woman’s Gotta Have Her Way’ and ‘Please Mr Sandman’. I fell instantly in love with both sides and soon learned that he’d made a number of other great 45s under his own name for Tear Drop and, earlier, for US Decca. I quickly made it my business to find as many as I could – not an easy task in those pre-eBay years.

I also found out that he’d written a handful of Fats Domino 45s that I owned, although his name didn’t appear on the labels of any of them. It wasn’t until years later, via Johnnie Allen and Bernice Webb’s warts-and-all Donley biography Born To Be A Loser, that I realised just how important and influential this tortured musical genius was. His human failings were not easy to ignore, but his ability to channel his life into memorable songs and performances transcends them. Donley’s greatness is abundantly apparent from this deluxe 2CD overview of his later career, as one of South Texas record maverick Huey Meaux’s stable of stars.

An extremely soulful singer, and an extraordinarily prolific writer who was perpetually short of cash, Donley sold most of his songs as soon as he wrote them on the pretext that he could always write another one tomorrow. Despite the assigned credits on his Tear Drop 45s, Jimmy wrote or co-wrote them. He also penned at least 80% of the tracks that appear on a CDs worth of mostly unissued demos that Alec Palao and I dug out of the Meaux tape inventory in Houston, Texas March 2011. Jimmy must have written close to 100 songs in a period of less than six years. Almost all his demos, and certainly those included here, are of high quality. We are fortunate that Meaux collected so many from friends and family members in the wake of Jimmy’s suicide.

“In the Key Of Heartbreak” marks the first occasion on which Jimmy’s Tear Drop 45s have been issued in stereo. Alec’s mixes, from the original Cosimo’s 3-track multis, are true to the sound of the mono masters, which were used for reference when mixing. Alec was also able to strip the tracks Meaux had overdubbed posthumously and return them to a vocal/guitar format, so that we could feature them as they sounded originally. The repertoire on the second CD is presented as it was recorded, with only minor audio tweaks to rationalise the volume throughout. There are snatches of Jimmy’s speaking voice introducing some tracks. We could have cut these out but somehow it didn’t seem right to.

I’m naturally proud of every project that I’ve worked on in the 10 years since I joined the Ace A&R workforce, but I can honestly say that I’ve never been more proud of any project than I am of this one.

Jimmy Spellman - Doggonit
40-page booklet, 28 tracks. Playing time approx. 58 minutes. - For the first time all of Spellman's Viv, Dot, Vik, Rev, and Redstart recordings in one package, with Al Casey featured on guitar. As usual, Bear Family goes all out with the best high quality visual graphics with Digipac packaging and high end digital sound by original Audio Recorders engineer Jack Miller. Includes unreleased tracks, plus six song demos. Extensive liner notes by Johnny Vallis and Arizona Music historian John Dixon. -- On September 20, 2004, Jimmy Spellman was inducted into the Rockabilly Hall of Fame. Best known for his rockin' 'Doggonit' on Dot and series of primitive country classics cut for Lee Hazlewood's Viv label, this cult favorite has also been honored by the Madison Square Garden Museum in Phoenix, Arizona, alongside such notable local talents Duane Eddy, Jimmy Dell, Sanford Clark, Al Casey, Chuck Mayfield, Wayne Newton and Loy Clingman. -- Despite a central role in Phoenix, Arizona's fertile rockabilly scene of the 1950s, Jimmy Spellman's musical career has never been examined in-depth. That changes with Bear Family's comprehensive package, collecting for the first time all of Spellman's well-regarded Viv, Dot, Vik, Rev and Redstart recordings. Spellman was the first artist chosen to record for Hazlewood's Viv Records imprint in 1955. Before hitmakers Sanford Clark and Duane Eddy, Hazlewood spent more time and money on Spellman as the conduit for his early compositions. In his short aix years of recording (1955-1960), Spellman covers the Country, Rock and Pop styles of music with class.

John Lewis Trio - The Billy Banks Sessions
NEW album from John Lewis - the frontman of the Rimshots.

In America they called it “soul”, In Wales we call it “hwyl”, singing with heart felt emotion. commitment and passion. Penarth’s very own Retro-esque Indie musician /singer/songwriter John Lewis has it in spades. John is one of the organisers and founder of the near legendary Penarth Pilot Sunday night jam session. His former band the Rimshots made a huge splash across Europe. John has recorded for labels in Holland, Japan, Australia, London (the oh so cool Vinyl Japan), and Germany – a made in Wales Hank Williams Tribute that won a prestigious British Music Award as album of the year. As well as backing and recording with many of his heroes, rock and cult legends on weekend festivals all over the globe. John also headlined many London gigs where stars came to watch the messianic eyed charismatic lead singer and chief songwriter in action.
Under his alter ego name of Johnny Bach, he has four CDs available, recorded along with Gretsch Twangmeister Darrel Higham, last seen touring with the Amazing Imelda May, which John has supported many a time solo
Haven’t seen him, where can I catch this local treasure before St Fagan’s grabs him? Weeeeeeeeell John Lewis tours Solo or with his Trio all over. He also can be seen doing the odd Johnny Bach and The Moonshine Boozers gig and Rimshots re-union. As well as session work and playing guitar with Pontchartrain, So no excuses

already in the early 60's as a bass player for Johnny Kidd & The Pirates. As a trio
the Pirates featuring Johnny also on vocals did their first recordings in 1964, and
the single ""My babe" has been considered a classic ever since. Along with guitarist
Mick Green and drummer Frank Farley they did some great albums especially in the
late 70's and early 80's, and they are considered of being the greatest rock'n'roll
trio ever.

sounding rock'n'roll/rhythm & blues-album, which was recorded in four days last
February at Äänistudio in Vantaa in Finland. It has now been released by legendary

Dedications by Johnny Spence:
"A Shot Of Rhythm & Blues" - first song I ever recorded with Johnny Kidd - a great
friend and a British rock'n'roll legend still missed.
"My Babe" - first song I ever recorded with The Pirates dedicated to Mick Green - a
good friend for over fifty years and a unique guitarist - sadly missed.

Ronnie Hawkins And The Hawks - Forty Days
Known variously as “Rompin’ Ronnie”, “Mr Dynamo”, “The Hawk” or “The Camel-Walker”, Ronnie Hawkins is one of the truly legendary figures of Rockabilly and R’n’R. Although his crossover commercial successes have been relatively few and far between, his influence - notably on the Canadian Rock scene (he has lived in Canada for more than fifty years) - is immeasurable, the most renowned line-up of his ever-changing backing group, The Hawks, famously going on to world acclaim as The Band.

This compilation features Ronnie’s first two Roulette LPs, 'Ronnie Hawkins' (1958) and 'Mr Dynamo' (1960) in their entirety (NB: these are widely acknowledged as his finest recordings), plus a quartet of genuine collectors’ rarities in the shape of two contemporaneous non-album singles. Ronnie’s two early US Top 50 hits ‘Forty Days’ and ‘Mary Lou’ are included herein; both were far bigger hits in Canada, where they made the Top 10, as did ‘Southern Love’, whilst ‘The Ballad Of Caryl Chessman’ (perhaps the first example of a R’n’R singer tackling a controversial political and social issue) made the Canadian Top 50.

Like all 50s Rock’n’Rollers, Ronnie retains a massive fanbase and near-legendary status in the UK and Europe. For many years these two LPs were unavailable, and back in the vinyl era were the subject of some fairly heavy bootlegging. It is our very great privilege to be able to include them in this series.

Tommy Collins - Black Cat - Gonna Shake This Shack Tonight
1-CD DigiPac (4-plated) with 36-page booklet, 30 tracks. Playing time approx. 73 mns. - An underground legend celebrated by Buck Owens, who recorded a whole album of Tommy Collins' songs, and Merle Haggard, who wrote and recorded a tribute song 'Leonard'. One of the pioneers of the honky tonk sound of Bakersfield! There are no other Tommy Collins CDs available, except for Bear Family's exhaustive box set! Includes the incredible rare first single 'Campus Boogie', plus uptempo hillbilly boogies and honky tonk classics! - Tommy Collins helped to establish the Bakersfield Sound. Legions of West Coast country performers and current roots/alternative country stars have built on the sound, making it one of the cornerstones of American music. Collins scored several hits as a performer, including 'You Better Not Do That' in 1954. Just as Collins' career was taking off, he had a religious conversion. For several years, little was heard from him. He returned to music, and signed with Columbia in 1965. The following year, had a Top 10 hit with 'I Can't Bite, Don't Growl'. For the next few years, he had a string of hit singles. - By the early '70s, Collins' professional and personal life was on the verge of collapse, due to his increasing dependency on drugs and alcohol. He recovered by writing songs, many of them recorded by Merle Haggard, including the '70s hits 'Carolyn' and 'The Roots Of My Raising'. In 1981, Merle Haggard had a hit single with 'Leonard', his tribute to Collins. After the release of 'Leonard', the spotlight again turned to Collins, who was now sober. Tommy resumed professional songwriting and his most notable success was Mel Tillis' Top 10 1984 hit, 'New Patches'.

Trini Lopez - Sinner Not A Saint - The Complete King And Dra Recordings
Trini Lopez seemed to come out of nowhere in late 1963, when his simple, sing-along live version of ‘If I Had A Hammer’ captured the imagination of the world and catapulted him to global fame. Few people who bought the single or its attendant “Live At PJ’s” album were aware that this great new star had in fact recorded almost a dozen 45s before he finally hit the jackpot. Working from his native Dallas, Texas, Trini had been beavering away since the mid-50s, and had come close to a national hit with his second King 45, ‘Rock On’, but that and other singles for King, DRA and Volk had fallen by the wayside.

When ‘If I Had A Hammer’ hit, many of these early tracks were reissued – often several times over, and with extraneous fake live overdubs – on singles and budget albums that attempted to cash-in on its massive successs. That was almost 50 years ago. Most have now been out of print for several decades, during which time several have become considerably more collectable than anything Trini cut while at the height of his popularity.

For the first time on CD, “Sinner Not A Saint” collects up almost every master Trini recorded in his pre-fame years. These are not Trini’s greatest hits, but they show that his talent was never in question – all he required to hit was the right song at the right time.

‘The Search Goes On’, ‘Nobody Loves Me’ and ‘Sinner Not A Saint’ have found belated fame on the Belgian Popcorn and, latterly, the UK’s New Breed R&B scenes. All appear here straight from the original King and DRA tapes, and none of them feature the overdubs King added to some tracks in an attempt to fool some of the people all of the time. Extensive notes and a plethora of label shots make this a must for Ace and Trini Lopez collectors.

King’s later issues of Trini’s tracks often sub-billed him as The Teenage Idol, and he certainly made a fair fist of trying to be one before his worldwide breakthrough. As befits somebody who was searching for success – and who was prepared to try on all sorts of musical hats until he found one that provided a comfortable fit – there’s a rich diversity of material on “Sinner Not A Saint” that will guarantee its appeal to lovers of late 50s and early 60s rock and teen pop.

Uncle John Trio - For Your Pleasure
Better later than never - after 20 years of country music, hundreds of gigs, writing songs and of course, listening and playing songs of our heroes like Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson and many others, we finally recorded an album: All together 14 songs, some written by me and many covers that we love to play on honky tonk bars.

I consider this album to be an introduction to who we are and what we sound like. We recorded it all live in the middle of the snowy Finnish winter. We had lot's of fun doing it and we're sure that you can feel it as well. So here it is: For Your Pleasure !

Come and see us on stage !
