| Buddy Holly with The Jack Hansen Combo - That Makes It Sound So Much Better! Buddy Holly with The Jack Hansen Combo: THAT MAKES IT SOUND SO MUCH BETTER - 10" vinyl LP. Buddy Holly's 'apartment tapes' are well-known, particularly the six songs he wrote in December 1958 and recorded on his Ampex 401A tape-recorder. These were heard first in the overdubbed versions produced by Jack Hansen in 1959 and 1960. Many fans prefer Buddy's original guitar and vocal demos to the later overdubbed versions. But the Jack Hansen versions - using some of New York's finest session musicians, who were never really a Combo - are still the ones that most fans remember. There were many flaws in the overdubbing, emphasised by the fact that Buddy Holly never envisaged the tracks he made being used to create commercial releases and thus did not stick to strict tempo timing. And the equipment used to mix the original 3-track tapes was primitive compared to today's computer-based technology. Modern technological advances have enabled us to remix the tracks and errors in timing have also been corrected by producer Chris Hopkins. Chris spent many hours on each track, creating the best versions you will ever hear of the six recordings. All have been remixed into mono and stereo versions ... you will hear instruments you never heard before and the overall quality will surprise you! The LP comes with a four-page illustrated booklet with full details about the recordings and the re-mastering process. |

| Candi Staton - Evidence - The Complete Fame Records Masters 2CD Candi Staton is the finest female singer ever to grace a Southern Soul recording, her achingly vulnerable vocals perfect for the lyrics of the best country/soul songs. Luckily for us, during her tenure at Rick Hall’s Fame label she got the best songs, mostly from the pen of George Jackson, perhaps the top Southern Soul songwriter of his generation. George spent every waking minute of his day writing songs and probably came up with a few while he dreamt too. As Candi herself said, “That was his thing.” Brought to the FAME studio by her then husband-to-be Clarence Carter, Candi had a Top 10 R&B hit with her very first single on the Fame label, the catchy and upbeat ‘I’d Rather Be An Old Man’s Sweetheart (Than A Young Man’s Fool)’, penned by Jackson in 1969. Those who flipped the single over were treated to more Staton/Jackson magic on the beautiful ballad ‘For You’. From 1969 to 1973, Hall got the very best from Candi, with one gem after another pouring out of his studio down in rural Alabama: songs of cheating, heartache and loss such as the superb ‘Mr And Mrs Untrue’, the edgy ‘Evidence’, the tender ‘Too Hurt To Cry’, the heartrending ‘You Don’t Love Me No More’ and the churning ‘I’m Just A Prisoner’. Years later Candi revealed that the appealing raw edge which crept into her voice at times was achieved by Hall urging her on to record the same song up to 25 times. Though George Jackson was Hall’s writer of choice for Candi, Rick was also brave enough to take a chance recording her on songs that were firmly associated with other more established artists. Candi’s take on Tammy Wynette’s ‘Stand By Your Man’ is a marvelous slice of Southern Soul whatever your views on the politically incorrect lyrics, while her exquisite version of ‘In The Ghetto’ rivaled Elvis Presley’s mega-hit, and both her covers received Grammy nominations. Candi’s complete output on the Fame label, in pristine sound, would be a mouth-watering prospect for any soul connoisseur, but Kent have upped the ante immeasurably with the addition of 12 previously unissued tracks, including her final session for the label recorded just before she signed with Warner Brothers in early 1974. The standard of the unissued sides is easily on a par with her released material and I wholeheartedly endorse Dean Rudland’s assessment of these tracks as significant discoveries in his excellent liner notes accompanying this release. Here again George Jackson’s name can be found on many of the credits, including the infectious dancefloor number ‘One More Hurt’ (which has stood the test of time a lot better than many of Candi’s later disco releases), but the find of Kent’s trawl through the FAME vaults is ‘We Had It All’, an outstanding country soul ballad written by Donnie Fritts and Troy Seals and previously recorded by Waylon Jennings. Candi Staton has since spoken about the ups and downs in her personal life at the time of these recordings, but even before we read about it we could hear in her voice that she had lived the heartache, loneliness and doomed love affairs contained in the lyrics of these songs. There are many first class Southern Soul records by female vocalists from the late 60s and early 70s, but none were as consistently excellent as Candi Staton’s output for the Fame label. This is simply as good as Southern Soul gets. By Martin Goggin (Ace Records) |

| Champs - Tequila 2CD The Champs were propelled to stardom when they topped the US Pop, R&B and UK charts in the summer of 1958 with their debut single, the Latin-flavoured instrumental 'Tequila'. Spawning a plethora of covers, the song earned a Grammy Award in 1959 while the band - whose varying line-up reads like a who's who of early Californian rock music - went on to enjoy further hits into the early 1960s. This 2CD set comprises their first studio albums along with hard-to-find 45rpm A and B-sides including 'Everybody's Rockin'' which is presented in a rare stereo format. Hot 100 hits of course include the title track, 'Tequila' plus 'El Rancho Rock', 'Chariot Rock' and the perennially popular 'Midnighter'. Disc 2 includes all the US singles up to 1961 including the hits 'Too Much Tequila' and dance craze fave 'Limbo Rock' plus 'Tequila Twist'. |

| Charlie Phillips - Sugartime 72-page booklet, 35 tracks. Playing time approx. 86 minutes. -- His song 'Sugartime' is one of the most-covered and biggest selling songs of the 20th century. An untold slice of Tex-Mex musical history...Charlie was one of Buddy Holly's contemporaries. All of Charlie Phillips' originally issued songs to 1967 plus the best of his later songs and 9 previously unissued songs! Backing musicians include Buddy Holly, Jerry Allison, Glen Campbell, Al Casey and the cream of Nashville's session men. Many unpublished photos. -- With his 4-octave range, Charlie Phillips is one of the most soulful and accomplished singers to emerge from West Texas. His first professional session (with Buddy Holly on guitar) generated 'Sugartime' ... one of the most covered songs of the century. The follow-up, 'Be My Bride', made its CD debut on 'That'll Flat Git It,' Volume 9 (Bear Family, BCD 15971) and is the only track in this package to have had prior European release. That's how rare this stuff is! -- Bonus tracks We have them. There's the original previously unissued demos of 'Sugartime' (1956) and the rockabilly classic 'Faker' (1958). A studio master of 'You're My LSD' which needs to be heard to be believed. Plus a concert medley of 'Whole Lotta Shakin' / Johnny Be Goode / The Twist / Rock Around The Clock / Sugartime' backed by several members of the Texas Playboys shows a side of Charlie not heard in any of his other recordings. -- Charlie collaborated with John Ingman on a comprehensive biography for this set. |

| Charlie Rich - It Ain't Gonna Be That Way - The Complete Smash Sessions hick-set and with a shock of silver hair, Charlie Rich always looked like an archetype of country music. When we included his original version of Isaac Hayes and David Porter’s ‘When Something Is Wrong With My Baby’ on the “Take Me To The River” southern soul box set, we were taken to task for it in some quarters, but one listen to that performance and you couldn’t fail to recognise a voice steeped in soul. His love of jazz and R&B and his rich voice proved a hindrance to him finding widespread popular success until he was well into the second decade of his career. Until then he lived off an occasional hit, one of which was the wonderful ‘Mohair Sam’, which kick-started his time working with producer Jerry Kennedy at Mercury Records’ Smash subsidiary. Over his 18 months there he recorded some of the best music of his entire career and in Kennedy found a producer who was willing to give him the freedom to express himself. The 29 tracks he cut are gathered up here – repeating a long deleted US CD release of the material in the early 90s – and reveal an artist who was hugely talented, but also out of place in trying to score pop hits. ‘Mohair Sam’, written by Dallas Frazier, was a slick slice of R&B-influenced pop with a somewhat novelty lyric. It captivated radio stations and their listeners, as Charlie’s performance seems to epitomise the easy swagger of “fast grooving, slow walking, good looking Mohair Sam”, but elsewhere on his Smash material – many tracks written by him – themes seem a lot more grown up, and a lot less happy. ‘I Can’t Go On’ tells the tale of a man whose lover has left him, and it moves from a mournful beginning through to a storming denouement. Charlie wails, almost operatically at times, and it isn’t difficult to hear in this the basis for the arrangement that would be used for Elvis on ‘Suspicious Minds’ some years later. ‘No Home’, with its sparse arrangement of strings, piano, bass and vibraphone, sounds like George Martin arranging for Roy Orbison and is the perfect setting for Charlie’s mournful tale of lost love in which his velvety rich voice is only interrupted by a piano solo of such bluesy intensity that Horace Silver would have been proud of it. Rich released two albums in his time at Smash, both gorgeous ensembles of numbers ranging from his wife’s beautiful song ‘Field Of Yellow Daisies’ to the R&B dancer ‘Party Girl’, where Kennedy’s production creates a perfect setting for the tale of the girl who wouldn’t stay home. This CD is a collection of an artist at the very top of his game. By Dean Rudland (Ace Records |

| Chubby Checker - It's Pony Time / Let's Twist Again Before Tamla/Motown, there was Cameo/Parkway. A groundbreaking Philadelphia imprint, the label churned out an astonishing number of huge hits (most written in-house) during its 12-year heyday and turned a gaggle of unknown young locals into stars. Sound familiar? Although primarily remembered for its myriad dance craze hits, the catalogue actually encompasses the whole of rock’s golden era: instrumentals, novelties, doo wop, girl groups, soul, teen idols, British Invasion, garage bands and bubblegum, etc. Label honchos Bernie Lowe, Kal Mann and Dave Appell spared no expense, releasing singles with beautiful colour picture sleeves and flooding the market with an unprecedented torrent of LPs. Cameo-Parkway material has been unavailable for decades, and collectors have waited impatiently for many years for the hits to make their digital debut. A label overview in 2005 and a few subsequent hits packages skimmed the surface. Out this month on Ace are 10 full albums on five CDs, along with a compilation of vocal group classics. The floodgates are now open, and it’s just the tip of the iceberg. Who can fathom why Cameo-Parkway’s flagship star Chubby Checker is so derided by the revisionist historians that make up the rock establishment? ‘It’s Pony Time’ and ‘Let’s Twist Again’, both bestsellers in 1961, kept dance floors hopping with the Hully Gully, the Mess Around, the Mashed Potato and the Stroll. Chubby made life fun in the early 60s, and who, besides the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame nominating committee, can ask for more? By Dennis Garvey (Ace Records) |

| 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. |

| Connie Francis - Everybody's Somebody's Fool 2CD The Very Best of Connie Francis 1959-1961 Connie Francis is the original Madonna, the only female artist of her generation who was able to surpass many of her male contemporaries and top the charts, and still to this day troubles the modern ilk as the biggest selling female recording artist of all time.

The hits include: 'Lipstick on Your Collar', 'Among My Souvenirs', 'Everybody's Somebody's Fool', 'My Heart Has A Mind Of Its Own', 'Many Tears Ago', 'Where The Boys Are' and many more! This unique set is unlike any other Connie Francis hits-orientated collection or compilation and is a must for fans of this truly fantastic star! |

| Contours - Dance With The Contours Featuring unissued Motown Recordings 1963-1964. They may not have had the silky skills of some of my later Motown favourites, but their raucous invitations to dance remain as potent now as they did almost 50 years ago. It goes without saying that I’m delighted to have been involved in Kent’s new expanded version of their never-issued 1964 Gordy album “Dance With The Contours” featuring the 12 originally-scheduled tracks and a further dozen from the vaults, all recorded during the same time frame. Of the 26 tracks, 24 have never been issued in any form until now. How great is that? There’s nothing subtle about lead Contour Billy Gordon’s gargles-with-razorblades holler, and songs about the Uncle Willie, Crossfire, Limbo, See Saw and other fly-by-night dance crazes are hardly going to win Ivor Novello Awards, but factor in some agreeably rough and ready vocal harmonies and season with a bunch of cracking vintage Motown backing tracks and you have 66 minutes of dancefloor fun that just won’t quit (although the tempo occasionally slows a bit, in order to let you and the group get your breath back). A few of these cuts have circulated as poor quality bootlegs and mp3s, but everything here is drawn from fresh transfers of original Motown mastertapes – even the two previously issued sides, ‘Can You Do It’ and ‘Can You Jerk Like Me’. “Dance With The Contours” is the first of several officially approved Motown releases that are coming your way on Kent. Forget art. Let’s dance! By Tony Rounce (Ace Records) |

| Del Shannon - The Complete UK Singles (and more) 1961-1966 2CD Del Shannon’s formidable hit list qualifies him as one of the truly great artists of the 1960s. Del made #1 on both sides of the Atlantic with his first 45, ‘Runaway’, and for the next few years he delivered the chart goods again and again with some of the best singles ever made – most of which he wrote or co-wrote. This new Ace set is, we believe, the first to present Del’s UK 45s, as released between 1960 and 1966, in the order they appeared here and in the same couplings used on the original London and Stateside pressings (which often differed from their US counterparts). Listening to them in sequence, it’s easy to build a mental picture of an artist who was always looking to stretch his creativity and to find new sounds to keep him in the charts long after many of his peers had waved goodbye to the Hot 100. It would be easy to say that Del never released a better record than ‘Runaway’, but that’s not to disparage other early classics such as ‘Hats Off To Larry’ and ‘So Long Baby’, which would be high-water marks of any discography, or later gems such as ‘Keep Searchin’ (We’ll Follow The Sun)’ and the ferocious ‘Move It On Over’, as good a record as anything to come out of Detroit’s garage scene at the time. Whether these are your favourites or you prefer the more soulful slant of ‘Little Town Flirt’ and ‘Two Kinds Of Teardrops’ or well-remembered flipsides such as ‘Kelly’ and ‘Don’t Gild The Lily, Lily’, there were no bad Del Shannon singles; having them all in one collection merely reinforces that statement. As well as the UK singles we’ve included Del’s original version of ‘His Latest Flame’ and his cover of ‘From Me To You’, recorded while the Beatles where still in the UK Top 40 with it – both of which came out on UK EPs. To make sure that every UK single is represented accurately, we’ve also added Del’s pal Max Crook’s ‘The Snake’, which was mispressed as ‘Jody’ on the flip of early copies of ‘Runaway’. The EP covers and the labels of each and every A and B-side are featured in the booklet, along with songsheets, period ads and photos taken during Del’s many UK tours. By Tony Rounce (Ace Records) |

| Dick Dale And His Del-Tones - Checkered Flag In the half-century since he began his reign as King of the Surf Guitar, Dick Dale has remained one of rock’s most innovative and influential axemen. A bold pioneer in the use of speed, volume and sonic texture, the charismatic Dale invented surf music, and in the process permanently altered the role of the electric guitar in rock ’n’ roll. Of all the surf guitarists who would follow in Dale’s wake, none could match his prodigious technique, his fierce showmanship or his restless inventiveness. At the dawn of the 1960s, Dale’s passion for the sport of surfing inspired him to create music that replicated the physical sensations of the surfing experience. Although he began releasing singles on his own Deltone label in the late ’50s, Dale made much of his most enduring music during his ’60s stint with Capitol Records. In addition to carving out the surf sound on the landmark albums Surfers’ Choice, King of the Surf Guitar and Summer Surf, Dale turned for inspiration to another all-American pursuit—drag racing—to create the hot-rod music genre on the LPs Checkered Flag and Mr. Eliminator. Now, Sundazed is making Dick Dale’s reverb-soaked, genius LPs available once again, the way they were meant to be heard: on vinyl. Our vinyl restoration of the vintage Dale catalog features Checkered Flag. Checkered Flag is heavy with white-hot Dale instrumentals ("Night Rider," "Ho-Dad Machine") and vocal car tunes from the pens of pop's songwriters (Gary Usher, Gary Paxton, Carol Connors). Helping Dale stir up the nitro fuel are L.A. session stars Plas Johnson, Steve Douglas, Hal Blaine and Earl Palmer. Checkered Flag is tough stuff, an unyielding trophy-run down the asphalt aisle. This album has been mastered from the original analog tapes, and is packaged with the complete original cover art. |

The first of two Bear Family multi-disc collections to compile Dick Damron's career. One of Canada's greatest country music stars, and a member of the Canadian Country Music Hall Of Fame. Everything Dick recorded between 1959-1976, from his debut rockabilly single 'Gonna Have A Party' to his outlaw country era of the 1970s. Many performances reissued for the first time since their original vinyl release, including the rare '1867-1967: Canadiana Souvenir Album' of Canadian-Centennial celebration. Original versions of Dick Damron's biggest hits, including 'Hitch Hikin''; 'Mother Love And Country', 'The Long Green Line', and his career hit 'Countryfied', which was also a huge hit for George Hamilton IV. -- Dick Damron is one of Canada's musical treasures, with a long career in country music that spans six decades. Best known for his 'outlaw country' era of the 1970s, his friend George Hamilton IV calls Damron 'Canada's Willie Nelson.' This 3-CD collection rounds up the early years of Damron's career, from his 1959 rockabilly debut single 'Gonna Have A Party' to his hard country recordings made at Starday Studios in Nashville in the 1960s, his biggest career hit 'Countryfied' from 1970, and his 'outlaw' era breakthrough recordings from the 1970s produced by Joe Bob Barnhill. Many of these recordings are reissued on compact disc for the first time, including Damron's 1967 album of 'Canadiana' produced for Canada's Centennial celebration. 86 songs in all, this excellent collection is long overdue for one of Canada's greatest exports, Dick Damron. |

| Dion - Wonder Where I'm Bound Dion’s lost folk-rock masterpiece! Wonder Where I’m Bound is a fascinating glimpse into Dion’s lost renaissance and documents this major artist’s wandering into an artistically compelling new direction: a mélange of blues, folk, and plaintive balladry. In the wake of Dion’s 1968 commercial comeback with Abraham, Martin, and John, Columbia dusted off a collection of Dion Di Mucci s voluminous studio work for the label and dubbed it Wonder Where I m Bound. Producers Bil Keane and Jimmy Wisner also added orchestration to Dion’s folk-rock reading of Tom Paxton’s I Can’t Help But Wonder Where I’m Bound (copying the style of Abraham, Martin And John ) for a single release in February 1969. Despite two 1990s compilations of Dion’s Columbia recordings, much of the material from 1969 s Wonder Where I’m Bound has eluded release on CD, UNTIL NOW! This release includes five tracks produced by the legendary Tom Wilson (Bob Dylan, Velvet Underground). |

| Doris Troy - I'll Do Anything - The Doris Troy Anthology 1960-1996 ’ll never understand why the term “one hit wonder” has come to be seen as pejorative. One hit is certainly one more than I ever had – how about you? Doris Troy placed only one song on the US Hot 100, but what a song! ‘Just One Look’ has endured as a much-covered standard, heard in countless movies and commercials. If that one wonderful hit is all you know of singer-songwriter-producer-arranger-session vocalist-actress Doris Troy, then here’s chance to catch up with what you missed. I’ll give you a hint – you’ve missed a lot. Doris Troy earned every hyphen. “I’ll Do Anything: The Doris Troy Anthology 1960-1996” amasses, for the first time ever, songs from every phase of a most illustrious career, ranging from her very first recording to her last. Affectionately dubbed Mama Soul, Doris Troy cut her teeth singing in church and worked as a teenaged usherette at New York’s legendary Apollo Theater before joining Cissy Houston, Dionne and Dee Warwick and Judy Clay in forming the premier New York studio backup group (two Chuck Jackson classics that feature cameos by Doris are included herein). She released two singles in 1960 as Doris Payne and a 1961 duet under the name Jay & Dee (all three make their digital debut here) before striking gold with her self-penned superhit. 10 sterling examples of her tenure with Atlantic Records comprise the heart of this set, including the irresistibly catchy ska-tinged ‘What’cha Gonna Do About It’ and ‘Please Little Angel’, co-written with a then-fledgling writing team named Ashford and Simpson. Incidentally, Doris co-wrote the song that gives this anthology its title, ‘I’ll Do Anything’, with another nascent writing combine you may have heard of named Gamble and Huff. Both sides of the ultra-rare 1967 Capitol single ‘He’s Qualified’ and ‘Face Up To The Truth’ make their CD bow here. After that release, Doris decamped to England, again becoming the go-to girl for background vocals on classic hits for Dusty Springfield, George Harrison, Pink Floyd and the Stones, to name a few. In cahoots with Harrison, she released a brilliant LP on Apple in 1970, represented on this disc by ‘Ain’t That Cute’ and ‘You Tore Me Up Inside’. Two definite high points are 1974’s Dandy Livingstone-produced reggae-inflected romp through Eddie Floyd’s ‘Don’t Tell Your Mama’ and a sparkling disco workout from 1977, ‘Can’t Hold On’, both new to CD. By this time, Doris had moved back to the States where she eventually starred in the musical based on her life, Mama I Want To Sing, written by her sister, New York radio luminary Vy Higgensen. The sisters are heard on a high-spirited duet released here for the first time anywhere. Doris’ final recording was for Ace in 1996 – ‘Hear Me Calling’, a duet with British blue-eyed soul wunderkind James Hunter. Doris’ heartfelt, gut-wrenching reading of the gospel standard ‘Take My Hand, Precious Lord’ provides a poignant and powerful coda to a poignant and powerful collection. The customary worth-the-price booklet includes rare photos and cuttings, remembrances from friends and colleagues Ady Croasdell and David Nathan, and Mick Patrick’s biographical essay drawing from a previously unpublished 1995 interview with Mama Soul herself. If you’ve only given just one look to Doris Troy, “I’ll Do Anything: The Doris Troy Anthology 1960-1996” is a golden opportunity to rectify that oversight. By Dennis Garvey (Ace Records) |

| Dovells - For Your Hully Gully Party / You Can't Sit Down Operating out of Philadelphia, Cameo-Parkway was among the most successful independent record companies of the early 1960s, turning out a veritable production line of teen-friendly singles by artists such as Chubby Checker, the Orlons, the Dovells, Dee Dee Sharp and Bobby Rydell. This month sees the release on Ace of the latest batch of collections from the vaults of Cameo and sister logo Parkway in the shape of twofers from Dee Dee Sharp, the Dovells and self-appointed “Cool Ghoul” John Zacherle. In blue-eyed proto-soulster Len Barry, the Dovells had themselves another great singer. The Cameo-Parkway stable ruled the airwaves in dance crazy Philly – all over the USA, in fact. Between them Chubby Checker, the Orlons and Dee Dee Sharp had the market for Twist, Limbo, Mashed Potato, Bird, Watusi, Crossfire and Shimmy records all sewn up. The Dovells grabbed a piece of the action too with their first hit ‘The Bristol Stomp’, which shot to #2 in 1961, spawning further hit 45s such as ‘Do The New Continental’, ‘Hully Gully Baby’ and ‘The Jitterbug’. By the end of 1963 the quartet had racked up eight chart 45s, following which Barry quit for a solo career. Their debut LP, issued to cash-in on that initial hit, was recorded in a bit of a rush. No worries: here we get their second and third albums, both of which were assembled with a bit less urgency, and were all the better for it. Gene Sculatti supplied the notes for this package.

| Eddie Holland - It Moves Me Many artists have fallen into the music business almost by accident, but few as accidentally as the subject of our latest Motown collection: Eddie Holland, who attended an audition with a pal just to keep him company, and ended up the one with a recording contract. And many have had a single hit, and after a few unsuccessful years have given up their recording careers to take up a position in some other part of the business, but few with such spectacular results as Eddie, who together with his brother Brian and Lamont Dozier formed Holland-Dozier-Holland, one of the most successful songwriting teams of the 1960s. Much has been written about Holland-Dozier-Holland’s songs and productions, but little about Eddie’s recording career, which spanned six years and resulted in 15 singles, one LP and a wealth of tracks hitherto unknown to the public. Our aim here is to present all of the records he cut from his 1958 debut through to 1964, when he withdrew from performing to concentrate on writing songs for the Supremes, Martha & the Vandellas, the Four Tops etc. Following an extensive trawl of the Motown mastertapes in New York last summer, we’ve included everything we were able to find that Eddie recorded for Mercury, United Artists, Motown and the tiny Kudo label, where he appeared under his brother’s name on a commercial for a brand of wine. The set contains 56 tracks; including 30 new to CD, 18 of which have never been released in any form before. The story of Eddie’s recording career is narrated in the bumper booklet by the man himself. Looking back, often with amazement and sometimes complete lack of recognition of some of the songs in this collection, he commented: “You know what is very clear to me? We were very, very fortunate to have a place where we could record that many pieces of product, and experiment that much, with somebody paying for it. That was like going to school, and somebody’s paying for your classes. That’s what Berry Gordy was doing. Can you imagine recording all those songs, learning your craft, and not even thinking about how much it was costing? I would say to you that Berry Gordy should be given an extraordinary amount of credit, because everybody was always criticising him. But you should pat him on the back and say, You know what? You made that possible.” Watch this space for more Ace/Motown releases in the not too distant future. By Keith Hughes (Ace Records) |
