| Link Wray - White Lightning - Lost Cadence Sessions 1958 The kids of 1958 loved ’em, and their first single for Cadence Records shot up the charts like a label owner’s dream. This is the fantastic and fiery album that was supposed to have been released as a follow-up to one of the all-time great instrumental classics, the ultra-menacing “Rumble.” But faster than you can say “Drag Race,” everyone—Cadence label-owner Archie Bleyer included—was talking about this new threat to the morals of American youth. That’s why Link and his boys were off the imprint, and this album of prime distorto-guitar-crunch cool remained unreleased for nearly 50 years. Well here it is, and it’s every bit as dirty and dangerous as you would expect! |

| Little Richard - Here's Little Richard It's impossible to over-emphasise the impact Little Richard and the music on his first two albums for Specialty Records from March 1957 and July 1958 had on the future sound of R&B, rock and soul. “Here's Little Richard” and “Little Richard Volume 2” have just about every classic Little Richard side on them. This is the music that influenced and paved the way for the hundreds of beat groups of the 60's, and coupled with the larger-than-life anarchic, excessive and erratic personality of Little Richard himself, is the bedrock spirit of everything that followed in rock’n’roll, its sound, its image and its energy. Just count the tracks from these albums that got cover versions: The Beatles, Elvis, Otis, Stones, Springsteen and innumerable others recorded and performed these songs for years and years to come. Otis Redding and James Brown, arguably the two biggest male soul stars the world ever saw, both wore their Richard influence as a medal of honour and Michael Jackson and Prince have long been acknowledged as the carriers of Richard's flaming, otherworldly and showmanistic torch. This is Rock’n’Roll in it's purest form. The raw musical power contained here has, quite simply never been surpassed, they still compel you to shout and dance and put into their original context of the 1950s they are nothing less than astonishing, because as much as Elvis shook up the world, ultimately he was able to be white, safe and accessible. Not so with Little Richard who remained and remains a free spirit, an enigma and a unique being. Those first two albums are a hard, verging on impossible, act to follow. “Little Richard Volume 2” and the third album, “The Fabulous Little Richard” were both released after Richard had left Specialty in late 1957 and temporarily retired from recording rock’n’roll for the first time. Whereas all but one of the tracks on Volume 2 (‘By The Light Of The Silvery Moon’) had been issued on US 45 before, “The Fabulous” released in 1959, was put together from early recordings that didn't make the first two albums, some of which were recorded before ‘Tutti Frutti’, and recordings that, up until that point had been unheard by the world at large, taken from Richard's last 1950s Specialty session. Some of the earlier recordings were overdubbed with vocals from the Stewart Sisters, perhaps in an attempt to update them in the wake of ex Specialty artist Sam Cooke's pop success, and these overdub versions have come in for some criticism in the past. To be fair, the girl voices are not always entirely welcome. But if you can retune your ears after the full on assault from the first two LP's, “The Fabulous” will reap rewards. This, really is where it all began. By Simon White (Ace Records) |

| Little Richard - The Fabulous Little Richard LP+CD 180 gram high quality LP featuring a free bonus CD of the album. By the time this album was finally released in 1959, Little Richard had been out of show business for over a year, having since returned to the church and gospel music. In fact, his first gospel album came out soon after the release of The Fabulous Little Richard. Recorded in 1958 for Specialty, this album is a series of outtakes and studio tracks, many of which feature the backing vocals of The Stewart Sisters, which apparently were added at Little Richard's request in an attempt to give the album a more gospel feel. |

| Lonesome Drifter - Eager Boy Seventeen song roundup on Thomas Johnson, the mysterious Lonesome Drifter culled from the vaults of Shreveport’s Ram Records. His 1958 single Eager Boy stands as one of the most sought after records of all time. The Drifter’s haunting vocals and stark instrumentation make him a truly unique figure in rockabilly and hillbilly music. This is real bone chilling stuff!

| Louis Prima with Sam Butera & Keely Smith - Jump, Jive An' Wail DigiPac (4-plated) with 36-page booklet, 30 tracksPlaying time approx. 87 minutes. - David Lee Roth copied the Louis Prima arrangement of 'Just A Gigolo/I Ain't Got Nobody' while Brian Setzer won a Grammy for his version of 'Jump, Jive An' Wail'. The amazing originals are here. Also contains Prima's big hits with the succulent Keely Smith: 'That Old Black Magic' and 'I've Got You Under My Skin' are the epitome of Las Vegas cool. Plus a clutch of lethal tenor-man Sam Butera's rock 'n' roll vocals including 'Ten Little Women' and the full kilter 'Bim Bam'. All told, there's no better collection of Louis Prima's seriously frantic fusion of rock 'n' roll, Dixieland and Neopolitan mayhem. Fans will also appreciate the generous number of tracks and the booklet's numerous photos. --Louis Prima can't be pigeon-holed. Jump blues, vaudeville, Dixieland jazz, Sicilian boogie, swing and flat-out rock 'n' roll; they were all reflected in the riotous lounge act which he pioneered if not invented. Despite his age (born 1910) and a recording career which spanned four decades, Prima understood rock 'n' roll. 'It's got that beat' he said. 'There's nothing, but nothing, wrong with rock 'n' roll'. -- This collection doesn't overlook his jazz-inflected pop hits with Keely Smith but it relies primarily on his very best recordings for Capitol, those which capture the exalted frenzy of his live show and the rumbustious spirit of '50s rock 'n' roll. It includes his own full-steam ahead classic, 'Jump, Jive An' Wail', several innovative medleys and a clutch of attractive rockers by his accompanists, tenor sax player Sam Butera and his band, the Witnesses. Spurned by critics at the time, this anthology of ground-breaking, house-rocking music restores Louis Prima to his rightful, well-deserved place in the reissue spotlight. |

| Louvin Brothers - Handpicked Songs 1955-1962 Simply put, Alabama natives Ira and Charlie Louvin are country music pioneers, Baptist blood brothers known for their trademark close harmony vocal style, mandolin magic, and emotive material ranging from spiritual standards, well-crafted covers to influential originals. The Louvin Brothers’ holy, honest, and soul affirming sound—recorded on a series of formative releases on the Decca label in the early 1940’s—tapped deep into the pair’s rural religious upbringing in a strictly gospel fashion. By the time they signed with Capitol Records in 1952, they were tried and tested road warriors and found themselves branching out into more secular content and delivery. In 1955, the duo was accepted as performers into Nashville country institution the Grand Ole Opry, cementing their reputation as the best in the business. But there was also a dark underside to the chart-topping hit maker’s righteous exterior. Older brother Ira, a foot taller than the diminutive yet no less formidable Charlie, had developed a serious drinking problem. Amplified by a feisty temper and a series of failed marriages, his wild child nature became more of a liability than asset to the show business pair. In 1963, Charlie had enough, and with self-preservation in mind, quit the Louvin Brothers. Though both soldiered on as solo acts, Ira succumbed to his fiery demons in 1965 and lost his life in a horrific drunk driving accident (ironically, the fault of the driver of the other car). Pushing ahead as a much loved and respected country music ambassador and proud gatekeeper of the Louvin’s legacy until his passing in early 2011, we are still grieving Charlie’s departure. Light In The Attic Records is honored to help share this American institution with fans young and old through a series of archival re-releases. A star studded curatorial compilation, Handpicked Songs 1955-1962 (LITA 074, LP) is a shot of Louvin Brothers magic. This LP features 14 tracks performed by the Louvin Brothers during their golden era, each personally selected by the likes of Beck, Emmylou Harris, Will Oldham, Kris Kristofferson, Jim James, Dolly Parton and many more, all housed in a deluxe Stoughton gatefold sleeve plus a full color insert with period archival photos, and extensive liner notes along with meticulously re-mastered audio from the original tapes. Morning, noon or night, let the Louvin Brothers take you to a simpler time, when good old country music ruled the airwaves. |

| Luke Simmons - Pure Down Home Raw 1950s Country Singin' & Pickin' Pure', 'Down Home' and 'Raw' are three words that aptly describe the driving rhythms and no-holds-barred sounds of fiddle and steel packed into the 30 tracks from the Canadian country artist, Luke Simmons. Combining influences of Hank Williams, Jimmy Rodgers and the country and rockabilly greats of his day in the early 1950s, yes siree this is without doubt as pure, raw and down home as you can get! Many of the tracks are on CD for the first time, previously just available on scarce 78s and heard only by the most ardent of collectors - now all beautifully remastered. Turn back the pages of time and listen to the authentic vocals of this great country singer who was a key link in developing the '50s country style even in places as far-fetched as New Zealand and Australia. Yee Haw! |

| Marv Johnson - Marvelous Marv Johnson Detroit gifted singer, songwriter and pianist Marv Johnson was a seminal figure in the early history of Motown Records. Responsible for more than a handful of hits between 1959 and 1960, he enjoyed no less than nine records in the top 100 as well as two songs on the top ten chart, after being chosen by the record producer Berry Gordy as the first artist to be released on his fledging record label TAMLA, in which Marv kept recording and working on sales and promotion until the late 70s. Often overlooked compared to the other great R&B stars of those years, Johnson's rich legacy includes dozens of brilliant soulful songs, like the immortal chart-smasher "You Got What It Takes" and the classic "Come To Me". |

| Memphis Slim - Rockin' The House- The Best Of The R&B Years 2CD The Best Of The R&B Years – Dazzling R&B piano pioneer Memphis Slim is the subject of the latest release in Fantastic Voyage’s highly-popular Definitive Collection series of blues sets. Compiled and annotated by blues authority Neil Slaven, the two discs of Rockin’ The House straddle Slim’s post-war years up until he became one of the foremost figures in the early ’60s folk-blues revival, spotlighting his top-notch R&B band. The 50 tracks take in recordings he made for labels such as Hy-Tone, Miracle, Premium, Mercury, Peacock, United, Vee-Jay, United Artists and Strand, and include all seven of his R&B hits Born John L. Chatman in Memphis in 1915, Slim cut his musical teeth playing anywhere from levee camps to Arkansas roadhouses then Beale Street bars, mentored by Roosevelt Sykes. He arrived in Chicago in 1937, initially bootlegging whiskey, said to have been a pimp, playing piano to pay for his gambling until cutting several singles and hooking up with Big Bill Broonzy in 1940. After World War Two, Slim started leading his R&B band, which, at times, boasted the great bassist-songwriter Willie Dixon and future Blues Brother Matt ‘Guitar’ Murphy. The compilation starts in 1946 with ‘Mistake In Life’, Slim’s first release on the local Hy-Tone label, followed by further tracks for the label including the rollicking ‘Slim’s Boogie’ and trademark melancholic blues template ‘Cheatin’ Around’. He first encountered Willie Dixon recording for the Miracle label, the pair sparking their relationship on the blistering ‘Rockin’ The House’ and sublime ‘Lend Me Your Love’. From here the highlights come thick and fast: hits for Miracle, including chart-topping ‘Messin’ Around’, ‘Blue And Lonesome‘, ‘Help Me Some’, ‘Angel Child’, sonorous Premium release ‘Mother Earth’, ‘The Come Back’ (predating the stop-start groove of ‘Hoochie Coochie Man’), the autobiographical boogie of ‘Harlem Bound’, sax-enhanced outings such as ‘Train Is Comin’’, ‘Worried Life Blues’ (as covered by Keith Richards), lascivious Nick Cave fave ‘Grinder Man Blues’, the steaming vamp of ‘Steppin’ Out’ (later Eric Clapton’s showstopping showcase with John Mayall) and aching ‘Nobody Loves Me’ (the original title by which he first recorded the classic ‘Every Day I Have The Blues’, as made famous by B.B. King). The early 1950s tracks with Murphy’s riveting guitar to the fore are also represented, through to later sessions for Vee-Jay and three tracks from the 1959 Carnegie Hall concert with Muddy Waters which marked the start of the blues’ burgeoning acceptance by white audiences. From levee camps and roadhouses to Beale Street and white clubs, Slim was working his way up and was early in the charge as blues ambassador to Europe, recording several albums there before returning to Chicago to cut an exemplary batch of songs including ‘Lonesome (Blue Blues)’, ‘Four Walls’, ’Big Bertha’ and ’I’ll Keep Singing The Blues’. Based in Paris from 1962 until his death in 1988, he left a voluminous and captivating recorded legacy, of which one of its most fertile and seminal stretches is featured on this stellar set. |

| Mick Farren - Gene Vincent - Race With The Devil Gene Vincent oli rock’n’rollin alkuperäinen paha poika. Hänen musiikkiaan sensuroitiin ja sitä kiellettiin soittamasta. Hänen esiintymisensä päättyivät kaaokseen, hän hajotti hotellihuoneita, kun Keith Moon oli vielä koulupoika, ja hänen yksityiselämänsä oli viinan, pillereiden, aseiden ja naisten täyttämä taistelutanner. Vincentin prätkäonnettomuuden rampauttama, mustaan nahkaan verhoutunut hahmo määritti yhden rockmusiikin visuaalisen arkkityypin. Ilman 36-vuotiaana kuollutta Vincentiä meillä tuskin olisi ollut sen enempää Vince Tayloria, Jim Morrisonia, Sid Viciousia kuin Marilyn Mansoniakaan. Vincent kiersi 1960-luvulla ajan runsaasti Euroopassa. Hänen musiikkinsa ja kärsivän kapinallinen persoonansa tekivät erityisen suuren vaikutuksen brittiläiseen teddy boy -kulttuuriin, josta ”Be-Bop-A-Lulan” ja ”Bluejean Bopin” sanoma levisi 70-luvun lopulla kiinteäksi osaksi myös suomalaista rock’n’roll-alakulttuuria. Kirjan on suomentanut Tarja Lipponen. Alkuperäistekstin lisäksi kirjassa on Mikko Aaltosen kirjoittama luku Gene Vincentin suomen keikoista ja hänen vaikutuksestaan suomalaiseen R&R alakulttuuriin. Lisäksi kirjassa on vielä Pete Hoppulan kokoama Gene Vincentin discographia. Git It ! Get It !!! |

| Mimi Roman - I'm Ready If You're Willing 1-CD Digipak (4-plated) with 25-page booklet, 25 tracks, playing time approx. 62 mns. -- She was a Jewish girl from New York who attended the same school as Barbara Streisand and Neil Diamond, but wanted to be a country singer. Her first record was a rare Hank Williams song that he wrote for Ray Price. Mimi performed on big country radio jamborees, changing her name from Rothman to Roman, and telling people that she was from California. Some of her songs have appeared in compilations from Bear Family and on other labels. This is the first full-length CD devoted to her music. -- Owen Bradley, head of Decca-Records in Nashville for years, would joke that he was charged with 'a country singer who wanted to go pop, and a pop singer who wanted to sing country.' The country singer was Patsy Cline. The pop singer was Mimi Roman. Changing her name from Rothman, she recorded for Decca in New York and Nashville, but never got the all-important break. She even worked the grueling Philip Morris caravan, touring with legends like Carl Smith and Ronnie Self, and recorded right on the stage of the Ryman Auditorium, home of the Grand Ole Opry. Somehow, it didn't work out for her, although her records have become highly collectible. For the first time, here is her story and here are her finest records in one place. A little untold gem of Fifties musical history. Mixed bag of high quality Honky Tonkers, Patsy Cline style strollers, teenage smoothies ala' Connie Francis plus obscure and completely unknown pop-pearls like "Dance With Me (Cha Cha Cha)" Great Discovery! |

With fully detailed liner notes this is a comprehensive survey of The Moonglows illustrious career and is well worth a listen! |

| Muddy Waters - You Shook Me 2CD The Chess Masters Vol. 3 1958-1963. Six years after the last set of Muddy Waters’ Chess recordings by Hip-O Select, the boutique label will release You Shook Me: The Chess Masters Volume 3 1958-1963 next week. While Waters’ profile was well on the rise before the period covered on this two-disc set – having put singles like “I’m Your Hoochie Coochie Man,” “I Just Want to Make Love to You” and “Mannish Boy” in the upper reaches of the R&B charts – You Shook Me is notable for being anchored not only around single releases but two of Waters’ first LPs. 1960′s Muddy Waters Sings “Big Bill” was a tribute to Big Bill Broonzy, the Chicago bluesman who gave Waters one of his first major professional breaks opening for him at local clubs. The other, recorded that same year, was Muddy Waters at Newport 1960, a killer of a live album that featured revelatory versions of “Hoochie Coochie Man” and “Got My Mojo Workin.’” This 49-track set also includes one unreleased instrumental, “Sweet Black Angel,” and a handful of songs that appeared only on a multi-LP box set of Waters’ Chess output released in Japan. Mary Katherin Aldin pens liner notes for the booklet, which is filled with rare photos of Waters in action. |

| Myrna Lorrie - Hello Baby 1-CD Digipak (4-plated) with 28-page booklet, 22 tracks, playing time approx. 52 mns. -- A Canadian legend. Her first contract took her to Nashville in 1955 when she was fifteen, and when Elvis Presley was being signed to RCA. She too was signed to RCA. Her ultra-rare 1950s and '60s recordings have never been reissued. Now the best of them have been carefully remastered for this definitive CD. -- Myrna Lorrie was from the remote Canadian city of Thunder Bay north. Mentored by greats like Hank Snow and Cowboy Copas who saw her talent, she was signed by the man who discovered Loretta Lynn, and made her first recordings for Abbott, where Jim Reeves and the Browns started, and like them she too departed for RCA. After RCA sessions in New York and Nashville produced some great music breakthrough, she returned to Canada. A television star in Canada for years, Myrna Lorrie helped new singers just as she'd been helped. Among them was Shania Twain. 'It would have turned out differently, if I'd stayed in the States,' Myrna Lorrie told Todd Everett, who wrote the notes for this compilation. 'But I was patriotic and stayed in Canada.' -- Now it's time for the rest of the world to discover what Canadians already know: Myrna Lorrie is a Juke Box Pearl. Amazing collection (6 unreleased) of top notch 1950s Hillbilly, Honky Tonk and some Pop-crossovers like the Tiki Bar cult classic "On A Little Bamboo Bridge". Produced by Fabor Robison & Chet Atkins.

| Nina Simone - Forbidden Fruit LP + CD When Nina Simone signed to Colpix in 1959 she was granted complete creative control over her music. This new freedom gave her the ability to explore new subject areas, particularly themes dealing with Civil Rights. Songs like "Work Song" on 1961's Forbidden Fruit gave an inkling of the maelstrom that was to come, when she would become a veritable force to be reckoned with, making white audiences squirm in their seats with her harsh condemnation of American apartheid. 180 gram vinyl + bonus CD of the same album. |

| Nino Tempo & April Stevens - Hey, Baby ! - The Nino Tempo & April Stevens Anthology When I was a four year-old pre-school music fan, I would often borrow records from our neighbours. One of my favourites from their collection was ‘Deep Purple’ by Nino Tempo & April Stevens. I don’t suppose I could have explained how it made me feel at that age, but for what is essentially a beat ballad, ‘Deep Purple’ created a strangely ethereal mood. Hearing it again all these years later, together with the other recordings collected on “Hey, Baby!”, it’s clear that the key ingredient to Nino & April’s sound was the warmth conjured up by the sibling harmonies of the brother/sister duo. Nino & April had each experienced a degree of success both independently and as a duo by the time ‘Deep Purple’ hit, Nino cutting his teeth as a session sax player and occasional film actor, while April enjoyed an on-off career as a feline, temptress-styled chanteuse. A selection of Stevens’ early sides is included here, sounding a little kitsch nearly 60 years on, but still rather alluring. Following a series of near-miss 45s together, the duo casually knocked off a cover of the 30s chestnut ‘Deep Purple’ at the close of a session. Almost by accident, they’d hit on something. In spite of label boss Ahmet Ertegun’s doubts about the recording’s hit potential (“the worst thing they ever recorded,” he claimed at the time), it climbed to the top of the US chart, winning the Grammy for Best Rock & Roll Recording a few months later. The success of ‘Deep Purple’ led to the duo recording a slew of updated pre-rock standards, timed – rather unfortunately – to coincide perfectly with the British Invasion. Suddenly their audience had no interest in the hits of yesteryear, and it seemed that Nino & April’s moment had passed as quickly as it had arrived. However, Tempo’s days as an in-demand saxophonist had led to a friendship with Phil Spector. This bond clearly paid off big time: the Tempo & Stevens magnum opus from ’66 – ‘All Strung Out’, originally written for the Righteous Brothers – is a powerful piece of work, and possibly the best Spector-influenced recording of the era, though the equally wall-of-sound-alike ‘The Habit Of Lovin’ You Baby’ gives it a run for its money. Still other influences abound throughout this collection. The ache and yearn of Tempo's ‘Boys Town’ cuts so true it could be a “Pet Sounds” out-take. ‘Out Of Nowhere’ acknowledges – if not quite embraces – the Liverpool sound. And, while also tipping the hat to Holland-Dozier-Holland, April’s solo ‘Wanting You’ 45 from 1967 seems to look ahead to the UK studio sound of the end of the decade (think Macaulay-MacLeod or Cook-Greenaway). This career-spanning compilation of Nino & April’s work is a real eye-opener if your familiarity with their output starts and ends with the hits. And on a personal level, hearing ‘Deep Purple’ 40-plus years on takes me straight back to being a four year-old, gazing at the Dansette in pure awe. Timeless and evocative, “Hey, Baby!” is a joy.
