| VA: - Smash Boom Bang ! Songs And Production Of Feldman Goldstein As a songwriting collective their surnames were never likely to trip off the tongue as smoothly as a Mann & Weil, a Goffin & King or even a Boyce & Hart. In fact, to the uninitiated, Feldman-Goldstein-Gottehrer sounded more like a high-powered law firm than three New York-based writer-producers who hit a winning streak with their highly stylised productions and artful songs in the mid-60s. Together for a mere four years, Bob Feldman, Jerry Goldstein and Richard Gottehrer were mavericks, a trio of Jewish musketeers who never took themselves quite as seriously as some of their peers and seemed to have a lot of fun testing the limits as they made their way in the music business. And where others saw their careers stutter and stall in the wake of Beatlemania’s new frontiers, F-G-G rode the crest of the new wave as though they were part of it – which, to some extent, they were. What really distinguished F-G-G was the hard-edged kinetic energy of their productions, whose bruising headlong thrust was propelled by the drummer (usually New York session pro Herb Lavelle) surrounded by a massed welter of percussion effects. Their work in the studio was also characterised by a keen sense of spatial awareness with lots of air and ambiance playing their part. Yet, for all this, the trio were just as easily capable of switching to the opposite extreme, penning tender soul ballads of blissful sophistication such as ‘The Drifter’ (recorded by Ray Pollard in 1965) and ‘Giving Up On Love’ (a hit for Jerry Butler in 1964). Best of all, they had few pretensions. Where Mann & Weil saw themselves as potential heirs to the great Broadway writers, harbouring, as did many of their peers, ambitions of breaking into legitimate musical theatre, F-G-G owed more to Chuck Berry, Bo Diddley and Jerry Lee Lewis than to George Gershwin or Frank Loesser. The trio hit their stride in the mid-60s with a varied portfolio that included the #1s ‘Hang On Sloopy’ by the McCoys and ‘My Boyfriend’s Back’ by the Angels - and several chartmakers by the Strangeloves, the selfsame threesome masquerading as a rock band. Initially, they specialised in girl groups – some real, some fabricated – and applied their distinctive touch to every one before moving into the rock field. “Smash, Boom, Bang!” is exciting stuff from end to end, much of it new to CD and all held together by the distinctive F-G-G production imprimatur. This collection comes to you with the full co-operation and involvement of Feldman, Goldstein and Gottehrer themselves and comes with a sumptuous 28-page booklet packed with rare memorabilia.

| VA: - Smoke That Cigarette 1-CD digipack with 52-page booklet, 32 tracks, playingtime :87:34) 30 vintage cigarette-related recordings from 1940s & '50s Unprecedented combination of hillbilly and pop music, including ultra-rare tracks Includes original cigarette ads from Golden Age of radio Fully illustrated notes on society's changing views towards cigarette smoking -- As long as people have smoked cigarettes, they have written and sung songs about them. And few things have changed as dramatically as our attitudes towards smoking and smokers. Those changing attitudes are reflected in the unique collection of Smoking Songs we present here. It's a pretty amazing cross section at that, drawn mostly from the 1940s and '50s with an emphasis on hillbilly and pop music. No matter how you slice it, this is the first time that Frank Sinatra, Rev. J. M. Gates and Little Jimmy Dickens have appeared on the same compilation. And you can throw in Patsy Cline and Homer & Jethro for good measure. And what could bring them together as easily as cigarettes' -- Sit back and listen as smoking and cigarettes changed from telling the world how sexy and sophisticated you are to' well, let's just say to something less than socially desirable. Back a half a century ago that cigarette turned you into a cool, hard-boiled chick magnet. The woman' Smoking made her an alluring creature of mystery, as smoke swirled all around her. The cigarettes' They started out as sleek and romantic phallic symbols, and ended up being toxic and deadly ' colloquially referred to as 'cancer sticks.' -- All this happened almost overnight, and there is no shortage of music to document it. In addition to 30 wonderful tracks, we include some vintage cigarette ads from the Golden Age of radio. Remember, nine out of 10 doctors agree that smoking is good for you. Whether you want to be John Wayne, Marlon Brando or Frank Sinatra, the quickest path to ultra-cool is that pack of smokes in your hand. And here are the songs to prove it. Many of these tracks are quite rare, including Peggy Lee's original version of her classic tune, Don't Smoke In Bed, or the extraordinary 1939 recording of Rev. J. M. Gates' sermon about the evils of a SmokingWoman In The Street. This memorable collection also includes humorous and informative notes on society's changing views towards cigarette smoking by music historian Hank Davis, accompanied by an assortment of smoky vintage images. |

| VA: - Something Good From The Goffin & King Songbook A new volume in Ace’s Songwriters series is always a cause for celebration, and all the more so when the writers concerned are Gerry Goffin and Carole King. As arguably the greatest of the so-called Brill Building teams, their catalogue is unmatched in its quality and hit-rate. No songwriters of the era articulated the emotions of adolescence and the pains of teen-dom with quite the same mix of innocence and sophistication of Goffin and King; they were, after all, still teenagers themselves when they were crafting much of this material, so were experiencing the same emotions as their audience. Even so, you might think that, this being Ace’s third collection of their compositions, the well of hits might have run dry. But then “Something Good” opens with the Drifters’ joyous ‘At The Club’ (the superior and rarely heard single version) and you know that once again Mick Patrick and Tony Rounce have served up another peerless compilation of classics, near misses and lost obscurities. You’ll find hits aplenty on “Something Good”, including essential recordings from the Chiffons (‘One Fine Day’), the Byrds (‘Goin’ Back’) and the Cookies (‘Don’t Say Nothin’ Bad (About My Baby)’). But, as is their way, the compilers have again taken the path less travelled, usually plumping for a more obscure interpretation (or, more often, an earlier recording) of a catalogue favourite. Thus we get Bunny Sigler’s version of ‘Will You Love Me Tomorrow’ over the Shirelles’, ‘The Loco-Motion’ interpreted by Dee Dee Sharp rather than Little Eva, and a version of ‘It Might As Well Rain Until September’ from Bobby Vee instead of Carole’s own take. Whether this is by design isn’t clear (or particularly relevant), but boy, it ain’t half refreshing. Revelations also come thick and fast. Bobby Goldsboro’s warm, optimistic ballad ‘The Time For Us’ is new to me, and is the only known recording of this number. At the other end of the spectrum is the Eccentric’s’ (that’s not a typo!) ‘What You Got’, a snotty, clangourous freakbeat gem apparently modelled very closely on Carole’s original demo. She could turn her hand to anything, it seems. And it’s always a joy – though one tinged with melancholy – to hear Lesley Gore’s ‘The Old Crowd’, a vibrant yet achingly wistful rumination on lost youth, and for me as good as anything Gerry & Carole wrote. The sleeve notes tell the story behind each recording, and the booklet is brimful with the kind of photos and details you come to expect from Ace. The CD’s strapline indicates that this third instalment of the Goffin & King songbook might just be the best one yet. Who am I to argue? By Harvey Williams (Ace Records) |

| VA: - Soul Of Money Records Vol. 3 After John Dolphin was shot dead in 1958, his wife Ruth continued to run the business through to the mid 70s. She was very business savvy and knew how to pick the right people and delegate properly. Al Scott, Arthur Wright, Hank Jacobs, Don Julian and Rudy Ray Moore made sure that if it was a Money release it was going to be good. This final volume of the Money soul story begins with Bettye Swann, the artist whose success was the rock on which this musical history was built. I’m not sure if the Northern soul public, or even the modern soul division, realise how good these tracks are. Virtually all self-penned, Bettye’s tracks manage to combine true emotion with the dance beats and hip sounds of the day. ‘Don’t Take My Mind’ and ‘The Heartache Is Gone’ both sound stunning while the LP version of ‘I Will Not Cry’ is totally different to the flip that sold a million copies on the back of ‘Make Me Yours’; it is far superior. Undoubtedly Bettye’s success in selling so well has led to some rare soul fans bypassing her 45s for scarcer sounds. I have done it myself, only to be extra pleased when I turn up overlooked gems like these. Other Money, Ten Star, Utopia and Call Me releases on this volume include Bobby Angelle’s three tracks: a super-rare mid 60s dancer; an uptempo take on a great Jimmy Reed number and a churchified southern soul wailer á là James Brown. There’s a stomper and a beautiful ballad from the Larks, and an attempt to cash in on the beat boom by passing themselves off as a bunch of Limeys that fooled nobody apart from me. Other regular label Money contributors include M&M & The Peanuts with a vocal group ballad and a pretty mid-tempo ditty for all you lovers out there, while Hank Jacobs either fronting, or as just part of the TKOs, gives us two, possibly three, organ-led soul/jazz/funk groovers. Money’s proliferation of great 60s soul sides has meant that its modern soul profile has never been particularly high, despite the excellence of those later releases: Delilah Moore, Pat Livingston and Eddie Horan being particular highlights. The unissued masters are also of very high quality, an example being the Choice Of Colors’ terrific 1971 recording, inexplicably left to gather dust on the shelves. Other highlights include singer-songwriter Eric Williams’ one shot at stardom and an attempt at being Sam & Dave from Tommy & Eddie. (Earlier in the year they were known as Buster & Eddie of ‘Can’t Be Still’ Northern soul fame.) Both of those singles are scarce and collectable, as is the Question Marks track featured. The Mysteries are a made up “unknown” group name, thereby adding some whodunit action to the story. There are half a dozen catalogue numbers with no record allocated to them; perhaps they will turn out to be the missing releases and the Mysteries will be solved. If you’ve got those missing numbers languishing in your collection, don’t forget to tell us. Ady Croasdell 2009 (Ace Records) |

| VA: - Steppin' Stone - The XL and Sounds Of Memphis Story Vol. 3 When we began to search for the owners of the Sounds Of Memphis and XL record labels, we were aware of a small number of their releases, perhaps a CD or two’s worth of material – an interesting project to do some work on if we could secure a deal. It took us a few years to track down Gene and Linda Lucchesi and then a little bit longer to do the deal and get into the climate-controlled tape vault. Sitting at Ardent Studios in Memphis lining up the tapes and transferring the music contained on the reels we realised that we had something more exciting. This was an untapped mine of great recordings – Southern soul at its very finest. Our first objective was to get a Barbara Brown album completed and then a great compilation. Once we had completed those we realised that we hadn’t even touched the surface of what was available. Gene Lucchesi, who had started the label in the mid-60s, had been fairly free with his studio time while employing the best producers and the best musicians in town. We are now into our third various artists compilation of the material and if anything this contains some of the strongest cuts we have ever had. My favourites come from the lesser-known artists. The two tracks by Willie Walker (the Goldwax singer) were produced as demos by George Jackson. The wonderful ‘You’re Gonna Miss Me’ and the equally classy ‘Run Around’, could quite easily have been released, such is their quality. I suspect Otis Wheat’s ‘I’m Your Slave’ comes from the same time and makes you wish that he had recorded more. William Bollinger recorded for Gene Lucchesi in the 60s and we have unearthed two more cuts that could easily become dancefloor winners in ‘People Are Talking’ and ‘I Won’t Have To Cry’. The Jacksonians – from Jackson, Mississippi – recorded six sides for SOM, of which only two were issued. We rectify that by digging out two previously unheard titles. We have also found recordings from some of the favourites who have graced our earlier anthologies, such as another unreleased George Jackson master and a wonderful alternate take of ‘How Can I Get Next To You’. The Minits have three cuts here, two of which are unreleased. We have found an unissued Ovations gem called ‘The Plumber’ and the title track, an unreleased stepper from Louis Williams. Two other highlights for me are the Dan Greer cuts from the period when he was in-house producer for the label. They shine a light on not only his songwriting talents, but also his exceptional voice. We also venture into the 80s when Gene’s daughter Linda had taken over the business determined to prove that Memphis was still a hotbed of talent. She recorded the exceptionally talented Erma Shaw and Tekelia Kelly, both showcased here. Will this goldmine ever be exhausted? I can only answer that vaguely: we’re on the case and more music will see the light of day. By Dean Rudland (ACE Records) |

| VA: - Stickbuddy Jamboree DigiPac (4-plated) with 52-page booklet, 30 tracks. Playing time approx. 76 minutes. - A remarkable first CD reissue of the country music recorded by Delta Records of Jackson, Mississippi! 30 rare and rampant hillbilly, boogie, rockabilly and country sides recorded between 1953 and the late '60s by Jimmie Ammons at his Delta Recording Studio - a converted garage next to a cow pasture! Contains 14 incredibly rare 78 rpm discs from the '50s! Two rare 45s from the '60s! Plus 8 unissued country and rockabilly sides from the '50s! And 6 unissued tracks from the '60s! Features the cream of the local country bands from Jackson, Mississippi including the Mississippi Melody Boys, the Country Cowboys, the Home Towners, Kay Kellum's Dixie Ramblers, and Rick Richardson! Contains a rare first recording by Warner Mack, a rare last recording by Jimmy Swan, and 5 intriguing tracks by unidentified artists! The 52-page booklet by Martin Hawkins contains the first ever retrospective of the career of studio engineer and music promoter Jimmie Ammons, and the artists he issued on his Delta label and other labels! The booklet also contains many previously-unseen photographs! -- It often seems like all the hillbilly music that could be reissued, has been. But then along comes this CD chock-full of unissued music from the Delta Recording Studio of Jackson, Mississippi. The exciting thing here is that the music is mostly by little-known performers and 'new' to collectors despite being between fifty and sixty years old. This is really appealing stuff, too, chronicling the country music scene around Jackson in the 1950s and early 1960s. This is an important CD, at last filling a void in the story of Mississippi music and country music in general |

| VA: - Street Corner Symphonies Vol. 1 1939-1949 1-CD DigiPac (4-plated) with 84-page booklet, 30 tracks. Playing time approx. 87 mns. --Doo-Wop is one of the foundation stones of rock 'n' roll. Bear Family will issue the defintive story of Doo-Wop from 1939-1963! Every Doo-Wop hit! Every neglected classic! Every ground-breaking record! Detailed song-by-song notes and amazing rare photos from the golden era! -- Like Rap, Doo Wop music was an urban American art-form. It was sung on street-corners, in stairwells of tenement apartments, in high school toilets ... and it was preserved for posterity in recording studios. Most of the performers were African American, and many of the songs were romantic - in sharp contrast to the bleak reality of urban African American life at the time. Doo-wop had its origins in the black pop and gospel groups of the pre-World War II era, but it flourished in the years after World War II and became a major contributing force to the evolution of rock 'n' roll. In fact, some eminent cultural historians cite records like 'Sixty Minute Man' and 'Gee' as among the first rock 'n' roll records. Both of those classics, along with many more, are on Bear Family's defintive history of Doo-Wop, 'Street Corner Symphonies.' As always, you can trust Bear Family to get it right. -- Starting in 1939 with pre-Doo-Wop acts like the Golden Gate Quartet, the Ink Spots, and the Mills Brothers, 'Street Corner Symphonies' will take the story until the end of the Doo-Wop era in 1963. The first five volumes cover the years 1939 to 1953: in other words, Doo-Wop's true golden era. There are simply too many hits to list. Just look at the track listing! Suffice to say that these were the records that provided the soundtrack to the rock 'n' roll revolution ... and the records that changed American and global popular music forever. -- This series has been compiled and annotated by R&B music's foremost scholar, Chicago's Bill Dahl, and every song comes with detailed notes and illustrations. There have been plenty of Doo-Wop compilations, even a few Doo-Wop boxed sets, but this series is the last word on the genre. Truly definitive! Every hit, every underground classic, every song that lit up the airwaves at the dawn of rock 'n' roll. Every shoop, every doop, every doo-doo-wah! |

| VA: - Summer Turns to Autumn British indie label Ember released a number of rock albums and singles between 1969 and 1972, which today are much sought after by collectors of psychedelic, progressive and folk rock sounds. Many of the best of these are gathered on Summer Turns To Autumn, the companion to Looking Towards The Sky (FVCD041). Foremost among the artists compiled here is progressive rock band Blonde On Blonde, represented by tracks from both of their Ember albums. Fantastic Voyage has salvaged two tracks from Blue Beard’s album. An early songwriting/production project for Bob Welch, who next surfaced in Fleetwood Mac, the album was only released in Italy, but the single Sly Willy was more widely available and is highly prized by collectors of funky rock. Tyrannosaurus Rex-style acoustic hippy duo Knocker Jungle and progressive folk group 9.30 Fly each managed one now highly collectable long player for the label. The remainder of the material ranges from the fuzzy psychedelic rock of Canadians The Dorians and the melodic folk rock of Paddy Maguire, backed by heavy friends Steve Winwood and Jerry Donahue (of Fotheringay), to the soul-rock fusion of Milt Matthews Inc, here interpreting a Blind Faith song, and a previously unissued folk rock rendition of East Virginia by Polly Niles. Summer Turns To Autumn and Looking Towards The Sky complement Fantastic Voyage’s existing, highly popular compilations of Ember Beat and Ember Pop, with no duplication of tracks. |

| VA: - Sweet Inspiration - The Songs Of Dan Penn & Spooner Oldham We have received many requests to add Dan Penn and Spooner Oldham to our songwriter series.

With 2011 being something of a “Year Of Southern Soul” for Ace and Kent, what better way to kick it off than with a genius gathering of 24 of the best songs ever to bear their names below the title. “Sweet Inspiration” does a bang-up job of assembling the key songs Dan and Spooner wrote together during the 1960s and early 1970s. A quick look at the track listing will show prospective buyers that my co-compiler Bob Dunham and I have tried hard to make sure that there’s a version of every major Penn and Oldham composition included. We haven’t always chosen the obvious versions, so there will be some nice surprises here for even the most avid collectors. It was difficult to bring what started out as a massive wish list down to just 24 selections, but we think our choices do justice to the performers of the songs and, most importantly, the writers. Everyone will have their own highlights. Mine would include Arthur Conley’s Fame recording of ‘In The Same Old Way’ (which was originally written as a straight ahead country song) and country thrush Jeanne Newman’s riveting, previously unissued Goldwax recording of ‘It Tears Me Up’, one of the earliest songs Penn and Oldham wrote together. I’m also very partial to the Southern sincerity of the Box Tops’ ‘Everything I Am’ (a UK Top 3 hit for Plastic Penny in late 1967) and Tommy Roe’s little-known 1966 take on ‘Wish You Didn’t Have To Go’, a number made more famous a year later by James and Bobby Purify. But greatness abounds from beginning to end of this set, and it’s unlikely that any prospective purchaser will not be totally impressed by everything it contains. A companion volume – which will also include songs co-written by Dan and/or Spooner with collaborators such as Donnie Fritts, Rick Hall, Marlin Greene and Chips Moman – will hopefully see the light of day next year. In the meantime, here’s over an hour of the sweetly inspired songwriting of Wallace Daniel Pennington and Lindon Dewey Oldham. Oh, what a power! By Tony Rounce (Ace Records) |

| VA: - Teenage - Teenagers & Youth In Music 1951-1960 1-CD DigiPac (4-plated) with 68-page booklet, 34 tracks. Playing time approx. 83 mns. - Compiled by writer, journalist & film-maker Jon Savage. An aural (and visual) close study on the teenager phenomenon of the 50s. The teenager's role & position in 50s pop culture presented like never before. Endless classics (Chuck Berry's 'Sweet Little Sixteen', Dion & The Belmonts' 'Teenager In Love') mixed with more obscure masterpieces like Al Casey's raw 'Teenage Blues' and Portuguese Joe's wild and uncontrollable 'Teenage Riot'. Combined together they paint the full picture. - If anyone is suited to compile a CD themed about teenagers and their role in 50s rock 'n' roll and pop culture, it's UK music-historian, writer, journalist and film-maker Jon Savage. In 2007 Savage published a book about the teenage phenomenon ('Teenage: The Creation Of Youth 1875-1945') and Jon is currently working on a cinema release documentary based on this book. But first up is 'Teenage' on Bear Family Records. - 'Teenage' is a full length CD anthology that shines its spotlight on the teenagers of the 1950s, when the word 'Teenage' became the marketing hook of the new youth music: rock 'n' roll, ballads, doo wop, rockabilly, instrumentals and updated blues. - 'Teenage' covers the years 1951 to 1960. The thick booklet is lavishly illustrated with photos of rare 'teenage related' artifacts and memorabilia. Savage's in depth liner notes provide a fascinating read about the 'teenage' cultural phenomenon of the 50s as well as a detailed and personal track by track presentation of the songs. - It follows the Trikont release, 'Teenage: The Creation Of Youth 1911-1946'. |

| VA: - Tell Me - Ember Beat Vol. 1 (1962-1964) In 1960 Ember joined the small number of indies trying to compete in a market dominated by the four major record companies. That it survived until 1979 is testament to the acumen of founder Jeffrey Kruger, who had made waves in the fifties music scene with his London jazz club, The Flamingo, and his interests in publishing. Hit records proved hard to come by, but by spotting opportunities ahead of the pack and catering for specialist audiences, Kruger was able to run a flourishing record label. By 1962 the first evidence of what became known as beat music was emerging, most famously with The Beatles’ “Love Me Do”, charting that October. A couple of the acts featured on this, the first of three compilations devoted to Ember beat 1962-1967, were no strangers to the label. In an arrangement similar to that enjoyed by The Shadows with Cliff Richard, The Sunsets (who included guitarist Pete Dello, later of Honeybus of “I Can’t Let Maggie Go” fame) had released instrumental records in their own right and also backed vocalist Grant Tracy. Their two muscular contributions to Ember Beat Vol. 1 first surfaced on the label in 1963, but are redolent of the pre-Beatles rock’n’roll instrumental group scene. Carter, Lewis and The Southerners had one Ember single under their belt before issuing “Tell Me” in 1962. Engineered by the legendary Joe Meek and written by his regular collaborator Geoffrey Goddard, “Tell Me” was backed with a Carter/Lewis original. Individually and collectively, Carter and Lewis were to go on to considerable success, ultimately dropping their performing roles and concentrating on songwriting and management. With the advent of producer/composer/arranger John Barry, Ember definitely moved up a gear. Barry came to Ember with an impressive CV: in-house arranger for EMI, leader of hit instrumental combo The John Barry Seven, and composer, arranger and conductor on the first UK soundtrack album (to the Adam Faith vehicle Beat Girl). Ember released several Barry soundtracks, including Zulu, which had one side of soundtrack recordings, and a second side which we have plundered for classy beat instrumentals by the stellar John Barry Seven. Barry also introduced pop duo Chad and Jeremy to Ember. The pair had just one domestic hit with debut Yesterday’s Gone, but were massive in the US as part of the British Invasion. Initially produced by Barry, and then by Shel Talmy and ultimately Jimmy Haskell, the duo recorded diverse repertoire, ranging from folk to show tunes. For the Ember Beat series we concentrate on their beat-ier, pop material. Kruger leased several of Chad and Jeremy’s singles to United Artists. Likewise the John Barry-produced group A Band Of Angels was signed to UA, for a pair of singles, which were the earliest commercial recordings of Mike D’Abo, who later succeeded Paul Jones as singer with Manfred Mann, as well as penning Handbags And Gladrags and many other hits. Marcus Tro’s solitary A-side was a cover version of early Jagger/Richard composition Tell Me, produced by emerging talent Mark Wirtz. The Washington DC’s released one single on Ember. Further material by the group surfaced on an album released to gain more mileage from a pre-fame Dave Clark Five single (the rights to which, alas, have subsequently reverted to Dave Clark). We also round up a B-side by Brighton group Count Downe and The Zeros, and both sides of a single by singer/guitarist Ray Singer (later, briefly a member of psych-pop group Nirvana). This is the first coherent survey of Ember’s releases from the beat era. Many of the original singles are highly collectable (mint copies of Carter, Lewis and Count Downe going for £50 and £35 respectively). Subsequent volumes will carry the story through to 1967, with collectables by The Couriers, The Brothers Grimm, The Clockwork Oranges and The Fadin’ Colours. The series will be complemented by compilations devoted to pre- and post-Beat pop and rock from the Ember vaults. Recordings will be mastered from tape, where available, and booklets illustrated with sleeve and label shots. |
