Valtonen Pekka - Sielukasta! – soulin kuninkaallisia (Kirjat)
€35,00Quick ViewPekka Valtosen tietokirja Sielukasta! – soulin kuninkaallisia on julkaistu Aviadorin kustantamana.
Mustien artistien kappaleita alkoi yllättäen näkyä aiemmin vain valkoisten artistien kansoittamilla pop-listoilla. Uuden musiikkigenren, soulin, kukoistuskausi oli alkanut. Sen myötä mustien musiikki nousi ensimmäistä kertaa osaksi populaarimusiikin valtavirtaa. Suosion taustalla olivat legendaariset levy-yhtiöt, kuten Motown Detroitissa ja Stax Memphisissä, taitavat hittinikkarit sekä ennen kaikkea sielukkaat laulajat ja lauluyhtyeet. Teos esittelee soulin vaiheita ja lukuisten artistien ja yhtyeiden tuotantoa Otis Reddingistä Stevie Wonderiin, Aretha Franklinista Tina Turneriin ja Ronettesista Temptationsiin – pienempiä tähtiä unohtamatta.
Historioitsija ja kulttuuriantropologi Pekka Valtonen (s. 1957) paneutuu itselleen nuoruudesta alkaen läheiseen aiheeseen ammattitutkijan perusteellisuudella ja souldiggarin tunteella. Lopputuloksena on kansainvälisestikin yksi kattavimmista ”mustien popmusiikista” kirjoitettu teos.
Antropologi ja historioitsija Pekka Valtonen (s. 1957) tunnetaan tietokirjailijana, joka on perehtynyt erityisesti Latinalaisen Amerikan historiaan ja varhaisiin kulttuureihin. Lisäksi hän on syvällisesti perehtynyt populaarimusiikkiin, jossa hänen erikoisalueinaan ovat Beatles sekä soulmusiikki.

Stray Cats - Runaway Boys – The Stray Cats Story (English) by Mark Noir (Kirjat)
€35,00Quick ViewNYT LÖYTYY VARASTOSTA! RAJOITETTU PAINOS!
World’s first published biography of The Stray Cats Story. English version.
What makes this book special?
– It is the first and only biography published, to date, of the band.
– Based on a deep research work on more than 200 references of sources.
– Extensive photographic material, some of them unpublished.
– Commented Discography.
– Full Tour List .Brian Robert Setzer, James Robert McDonnell and Leon Drucker were three neighbors of Massapequa, a small town in the county of Nassau, located in the state of New York, who shared a disproportionate fondness for music playing and for the pioneer artists of the r & r. They started an incredible adventure that will forever change their lives and that of many fans.
In June of 1980, after gaining a reputation in the local scene, they flied to London, attracted by the explosion of the rockabilly genre , with the intention of spending the summer and trying some luck. Surprisingly, a few weeks later they appeared on the cover of the influential New Musical Express magazine and some members of the most famous bands (The Clash, The Rolling Stones, Sex Pistols, The Kinks) come to see them and were shocked by their music, their aesthetics and its explosives live concerts.
WHO OR WHO WAS BEHIND THIS SUCCESSFUL SUCCESS?
After conquering the European and Japanese market, they knocked out another heavyweight of the record industry, the American, getting placed on the sales charts behind the unbeatable Thriller by Michael Jackson, something unthinkable for a trio that plays rockabilly .
After almost forty years of the creation of the band their first biography is written. This is the fascinating story of Stray Cats, their first steps, their influences, their records, their mythical performances, their symbols, their instruments, their technique, their conflicts and relationships, It´s the story of an unexpected split and about an era where punk embers are still hot, where subculture youth rules in London´s streets, where the crazy Japanese fans assert their reputation and where Hell’s Angels escort them at their triumphal entry into Paris. This is the story of a track that still remains indelible … THE TRACK OF THE CAT. -

Bagge Tapani & Eklund Jari - Teddy, Aikka ja Alpo – Alpo Hakalan musiikki ja elämä 1957–2021 (Kirjat)
€29,90Quick ViewIlmestyy 30.3.
Ujon pojan nousu suomalaisen rockmaailman huipulle.
Parikymppinen Alpo “Teddy” Hakala niitti 70-luvun lopulla huikeaa suosiota Suomen ykkösbändi Teddy & The Tigersin kanssa. Mitä sitten tapahtui? Entä sitä ennen?
Alpo oli hiljainen putkimiehen poika Keravalta, joka nousi rocktähteyteen Teddy & The Tigersin johtohahmona. Tigersin jälkeen hänestä tuli Aikka ja uudesta bändistä Bad Sign. Rockabilly vaihtui rhythm’n’bluesiin mutta keikkoja riitti. Väliin Alpo kokeili muita töitä, raittiutta ja perhe-elämää.
Alpo kertoo oman tarinansa, jota perhe, ystävät, bändikaverit, roudarit sekä keikkamyyjät täydentävät. Myös managerit, fanit ja levytuottajat saavat sanansijan.
Tapani Bagge on pitkän linjan kirjailija, joka tunnetaan etenkin dekkareista ja historiallisista romaaneista. Jari Eklund on valokuvataiteilija, joka on kirjoittanut kirjat Syntyneet rokkaamaan ja Tiger Twist. Yhdessä he ovat tehneet kirjan Prosenttimies – Bikerin tarina. Kumpikin on kotoisin Keravalta.

Peter Guralnick, Colin Escott - The Birth of Rock ’n’ Roll: The Illustrated Story of Sun Records and the 70 Recordings That Changed the World (Kirjat)
€65,00Quick ViewA fascinating look at the history of Sun Records, the label that started Rock n’ Roll, told through 70 of its iconic recordings.
In Memphis, Tennessee, in the 1950s, there was hard-edged blues playing on Beale Street, and hillbilly boogie on the outskirts of town. But at Sam Phillips’ Sun Records studio on Union Avenue, there was something different going on – a whole lotta shakin’, rockin’, and rollin’.
This is where rock ’n’ roll was born.
Sun Records: the company that launched Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis, Johnny Cash, Roy Orbison, and Carl Perkins. The label that brought the world, “Blue Suede Shoes,” “Whole Lotta Shakin’ Goin’ On,” “Breathless,” “I Walk the Line,” “Mystery Train,” “Good Rockin’ Tonight.”
The Birth of Rock ’n’ Roll: 70 Years of Sun Records is the official history of this legendary label, and looks at its story in a unique way: through the lens of 70 of its most iconic recordings. From the early days with primal blues artists like Howlin’ Wolf and B.B. King to long nights in the studio with Elvis and Jerry Lee Lewis, you will see how the label was shaped and how it redefined American music. Accompanying the recordings is the label’s origin story and a look at the mission of the label today, as well as “Sun Spot” sidebars—a fascinating dive into subjects such as how the iconic logo was created, the legendary Million Dollar Quartet sessions, and how the song “Harper Valley, PTA” funded the purchase of the label.
Written by two of the most acclaimed music writers of our time, Peter Guralnick and Colin Escott, and featuring hundreds of rare images from the Sun archives as well as a foreword by music legend Jerry Lee Lewis, this is a one-of-a-kind book for anyone who wants to know where it all started.

Brackenridge Craig - Doin’ My Own Thing – Alan Wilson Autobiography (Kirjat)
€22,00Quick ViewDoin’ My Own Thing is the autobiography of Alan Wilson and covers everything from childhood, school days, playing in bands, touring overseas, producing records, writing songs and owning a recording studio and record label. This book also covers the fascinating period when the first Psychobillies broke away from the Rockabilly scene to create their own subculture.
“If you are expecting a straight-up rock biography here then think again. The bust-ups, bad behavior and (occasionally eye-watering) backstage antics are all present but there is also so much more. The early days stories are alive with detail and pitched somewhere between the movie Kes, Play For Today and a particularly violent episode of Grange Hill. Alan also takes a trip through the history of British Rock ‘n’ Roll whether it is experiencing the fine lines between the cults of Ted, Rockabilly and Psychobilly or working alongside many of his childhood heroes. Stories of many big names appear throughout but never in a boastful manner as you get the impression that Alan soaks up each experience with vivid powers of recall and uses these moments to inform his creative endeavors. While many books from musicians take you on a standard trip from obscurity to burn-out with possible salvation along the way, Alan deviates from this path and takes a good few page-turning detours that are bemusing but wildly entertaining. The career of The Sharks, Alan’s production work and the history of the Western Star Recording Company are only part of the story here. This is a meaty portion of non-fiction indeed. Dig in!”

Janne Örnberg (sekä Kati Järvi ja Jori Venemies) - Emman perilliset – suomalaisen rautalankabeatin vuosikymmenet (Kirja) (Kirjat)
€32,50Quick ViewRautalankamusiikki edustaa monelle vain yli puolen vuosisadan takaista nostalgiaa. Harva musiikinlaji on kuitenkaan yhtä ajaton – ja yhtä suomalainen – kuin Emma-iskelmän vaikutuksesta syntynyt, ja sittemmin monin tavoin jalostunut rautalankabeat.
Kirja on kirjoitettu syvällä pieteetillä ja suurella sydämellä. Teos osoittaa, että rautalankabeat on koko historiansa ajan voinut hyvin, ja on elinvoimaista musiikkia edelleenkin.Tekijä: Janne Örnberg (sekä Kati Järvi ja Jori Venemies)
