VA: - Rockin' Rhythm's From Enviken Records Vol. 3
Enviken Records 2007 CD 15.00 €
VA: - Rockin' South
Rock’n’roll music built its history on the contribution of independent labels. Every major artist in the 1950s started with an independent. While some like Sun, Roulette and King became very well-known, there were many others whose contribution, though just as vital, have rarely been documented. These were the launching pads for artists who found fame elsewhere. Bill Lowery’s NRC was one such label.

Lowery first got into the music publishing business on the advice of Capitol A&R man Ken Nelson after a cancer scare in 1951. Following some early successes in the gospel field, Lowery acquired the copyright to Be-Bop-A-Lula, an early rock’n’roll hit by Gene Vincent. At the end of 1955, Lowery and partner ‘Boots’ Woodall launched their first label, Stars, operating from a PO Box in Atlanta.

Very little is known about Lowery’s earliest artists, most of the Stars and Fox releases were pressed in very small quantities by RCA and rarely distributed beyond Georgia. Chuck Atha, Cleve Warnock and Little Jimmy Dempsey are three of the rockabilly recordings taken from this period.

In 1958, Lowery was reportedly approached by a group of businessmen, with the query “How much would it take to start a real record company?” With a supposed million dollar goal, the stock sellers went about selling what they called ‘founder contracts’, which would allow early investors to acquire more stock at a lower price as the company grew. In a short time, the NRC Studio was operating in the former Brookhaven Elementary School in metro Atlanta. The basic studio staff band included Joe South on guitar, Jimmy Estes on bass fiddle and Nelson Rogers on drums, with Ray Stevens and Jerry Reed filling out the group. Stevens and Reed would eventually become NRC artists themselves when their Capitol contract expired.

Meanwhile, Woodall was busy scouting for talent, and NRC began pressing and distributing other labels, accounting for hits such a Rockin’ Little Angel by Ray Smith on Judd and Mountain Of Love by Harold Dorman on Rita as well as Robbin’ The Cradle a master brought to NRC’s attention by Chicago singer Tony Bellus. From 1958 until 27th April, 1961, when the company went down, the studio was filled with future stars and wannabees, including a number of singers who would go on to have major country hits: Sonny James (another former Capitol artist), Dave Dudley, Johnny Sea and David Houston.

“The Rockin’ South” is an important release in the rock’n’roll calendar. It marks the first time these masters have been released legitimately on CD and, equally importantly, it rocks from start to finish. Highlights include Rod Willis’ sought after rockabilly classic, The Cat, Joe South’s The Purple People Eater Meets The Witch Doctor, a novelty which made it halfway up the Hot 100 in 1958 when South was only 18 years-old, Tommy Roe’s original pre-hit version of Sheila cut with his high school band for Judd in 1960, and a number of powerful rockers such as Sweetie Jones’ Baby Please Don’t Leave, Paul Peek’s chaotic The Rock-A-Round (withdrawn ‘long’ version) and Ric Cartey’s stupendous Scratchin’On My Screen. One of NRC’s few hits, Tony Bellus’ charming Robbin’ The Cradle is taken directly from the original master. The legendary Wayne Cochran talks his way through his debut 45, The Coo, a lascivious blues co-penned by Ray Stevens. This is the withdrawn version referred to as The Naughty Coo. Cochran toned it down on later pressings after the record was banned.

VA: - Sabre Records Story
Detroit, Michigan instrumental and vocal Rock ‘n’ Roll from the late ‘50s and early ‘60s featuring some killer songs like the hit “What’s The Word” by The Thunder Rocks

Sabre Records was started in 1960 by the Thunder Rocks, who were by that time a household name in Detroit. Their first release was Sabre #100 Thunder Rocks “War Path/Restless". With the launch of their own phrase the band had coined earlier “Ride the Rockin’ Rocket” took meaning and they were off!Sabre Records had little difficulty signing another one of the more prominent groups for it’s next release: The Low Rocks. After these two releases the popularity of the label and the bands increased in the Great Lakes area and soon they added other incredible acts in their roster like The Valiants, Egyptians, and Fred Farrah. This CD compilation is an outstanding research project of a musical phenomenon that transcends time and styles. A must for fans of the Back From The Grave, Strummin’ Mental, Teenage Shutdown and Pebbles. Includes 22 page booklet with lots of rare photos, record labels, and extensive liner notes…

VA: - Saint Etienne Present Songs for The Dog & Duck
Ace have never previously put out any CDs featuring UK glam rock next to rockabilly and sweet soul: I’m sure not many people thought we ever would. But this is the soundtrack to an evening in a Soho boozer - an eclectic selection of great music across the pop oeuvre on an imaginary jukebox stationed in a (real) pub called the Dog And Duck. Bob Stanley and his Saint Etienne team-mates, Dog And Duck habitués, have picked their dream musical moments to accompany a night of serious drinking and pop philosophising.

The mood is set with a catchy early 60s pop instrumental by KPM regular John Scott, whose ‘Hi Flutin’ Boogie’ sounds like it came from a TV series that I know really well, but can’t for the life of me think which. It was produced by someone called George Martin apparently. This is followed by one of those great, quirky, UK pop numbers, though admittedly written by US citizen Randy Newman. It’s performed by London music biz veteran Duffy Power and comes complete with flugelhorns; quite a departure for an erstwhile rocker.

Now I knew that the Heavenly crowd had a soft spot for girl groups and the inclusion of the Darlettes’ ‘Lost’ is an expected treat, cunningly followed by Bettye’s ‘Make Me Yours’; clever, these guys could be DJs if the day job slows down. Next up is home territory for me, Herbert Hunter’s Nashville-created, Northern England-acclaimed dance number, ‘I Was Born To Love You’. Who said northerners ain’t got soul?

Then it’s back to the girls, though Claudine Clark’s husky tones don’t have the sweet allure of her backing vocalists. She was singing about a burial ground, so perhaps she had a fright. Texas rockers Elroy Dietzel & the Rhythm Bandits hit us with some good ole rock’n’roll swiftly followed up by Hal Harris’ hiccoughing rockabilly portrait of his ‘Jitterbop Baby’. That sounds like perfect pub music for a Saturday night tear-up to me. Rocker Little Richard gives us a later-career, soul-party stomper from his Vee-Jay era, neatly illustrated by a rare demo that was flown in all the way from our basement warehouse for scanning: thanks Simon. The song wasn’t officially released until 1970; these popsters sure know their onions.

I could have guessed they would have gone for some Zombies. ‘She Does Everything For Me’ is a great choice. Colin Blunstone’s unique vocals get me every time. It’s so clean. A Northern Soul ender is more of a shock, but the well-crafted song and superb production on Dan Folger’s ‘The Way Of The Crowd’ deserves to be appreciated across the genres.

Then there was Bill Oddie. Stranger things have happened, but not many. Who would have thought the ex-Goodie and bird-peeper would be appearing on Ace, especially as a serious artist? And he’s actually good at both the writing and performing end of this very different discipline; the song could have come straight out of the Brill. A shock of that magnitude needs to be followed by some solid ground and our Mary (Ms Love) and her evergreen soul staple ‘Lay This Burden Down’ is just that. Fellow Kent stable-mate Little Ann then provides the enigmatic ‘Sweep It Out In The Shed’, courtesy of Dave Hamilton’s Detroit master tapes and she is followed in turn by the prettily-voiced Barbara Lewis on ‘How Can I Tell You’. I must have missed out on that one first and second time around; it’s wonderful, but I’m not sure I should be getting soul lessons from indie rockers.

Barbara’s track does have a pop sensibility link, with Brian Hyland and Del Shannon having written it; the next musical leap to ex-Box Top Alex Chilton’s tender ‘The EMI Song’ is seamless. I still haven’t figured out what it’s about but I’m very glad to have been turned on to it. What’s not to like about Sniff’n’The Tears’ ‘Driver’s Seat’? Nothing: but now it’s on a hip compilation you’re allowed to hum it in public. From out of the left field comes an RAK B-side ‘Flight 2’ by Angelo & Eighteen which takes me back to the fascinating rhythms of John Kongos’ hit ‘Tokoloshe Man’. Glam-inspired Mustard used the approved super solid beat of the day by presumably using a couple of drummers and getting anyone passing the studio to come on in and clap and stomp; it’s infectious enough to kickstart a revival. Or perhaps it already was a revival, Gino with Johnny Greek’s ‘Hand Clappin’ Time’ was recorded a decade before, but sounds right in the same bag. Jump back another six years and Huey Smith was already ‘Having A Good Time’.

That’s three rave-ups in a row, so it’s time for a smoocher and it comes from the unlikely Ohio Players. Those cats were associated with spaced-out funk, but their paean to a lay-dee named Varee is in the classic soul lover ballad, complete with rap intro and some sweet shoop-shooping setting the mood behind a killer lead. That sort of quality didn’t happen overnight and we are shown the roots of slow dance in Robert & Johnny’s intense drama ‘We Belong Together’. There’s more lingering melody from the redoubtable Les Paul & Mary Ford with the now socially taboo ‘Smoke Rings’ which leads us neatly to the moody 70s smash ‘Pinball’ by Brian Protheroe. It’s OK, you can admit you like it too, it’s just passed its silver jubilee.

Eclectic, esoteric, inspired? I’m not sure which, but like Bob Dylan’s Theme Time Radio Hour, a lot of people are about to discover some very fine new music.

20 tracks. Primitive 1956-57 Texas rockabilly cut under the guiding hand of songwriter Jack Rhodes at his east Texas motel, the Trail “80” Courts. Gene Vincent’s Woman Love was written there and many of these demos by Derrell Felts, Johnny Dollar, the atomic Johnny Fallin and others were taped at the motel with Vincent in mind. (Gene would go on to recut three songs from this album). Cap things off with Elroy Dietzel’s Rock-N-Bones platter and you can’t help but shake it up and move!
