Blake Tommy - Koolit EP (7 single/EP)
€10,00Quick ViewThe name of Tommy Blake is inevitably associated in the history of rockabilly by the two singles he recorded for Sun Records, with songs like Flat Foot Sam and Sweetie Pie, although in the scarce 12 months that he remained with the company he recorded about 15 songs that would take more than 25 years to get out of the can. But before and after Sun Tommy also recorded good tracks, like the ones on this EP.
Koolit, placed the side one of his very first single, was released on Buddy Records in 1956, being a great example of raw and gutted rockabilly, the same style that we find in $ F-olding Money $, released by Recco just a year after leaving Sun. The flip side opens with Cool Alligator, a wild and frantic cut that was recorded as acetate in 1958 and would remain unreleased until the mid-1980s. We complete the selection with the instrumental Mister Hoody, from his only session for RCA shortly before joining Sun, and where Carl Bailey Adams, regular guitarist of his band The Rhythm Rebels, really hits the bell.

Gibson Don - Tell It Like It Is EP (7 single/EP)
€10,00Quick ViewDon Gibson arrived at Nashville’s music premier league a little bit late. Born in Shelby, North Caroline in 1928, it wasn’t until thirty years later, in 1958, that he achieved his well-deserved recognition as stylist and songwriter with his big hit Oh Lonesome Me.
The fact is that Don was an extremely complete musician, good singer and guitarist, but it would be in his role as a composer where he would stand but especially. being sometimes compared to Hank Williams himself.
In this EP four of his compositions are collected for the first time at 45 rpm. TELL IT LIKE IT IS and WHO CARES FOR ME are two great songs that remained unreleased until the early 80’s.
Side B contains two alternate takes of Don’s well known late 50’s songs, SWEET SWEET GIRL, also covered by Warren Smith at Sun, and the fabulous DON´T TELL ME YOUR TROUBLES. Both different enough to the official takes to deserve this 45 rpm release.

Hickey Ersel - The Solid Beat Of EP (7 single/EP)
€10,00Quick ViewErsel Hickey’s solid sound comes mainly from the excellent production that Epic Records reserved for all of his sessions. Backed by the guitar master Al Caiola or by an entire orchestra, Ersel sounded like few others, resulting in a masterful melting of rock’n’roll and pop that sometimes reminds what few years later would be well known as the sound of British rock’n’roll.
In this EP you’ll find four good examples of it, highlighting the incredible SHAME ON ME that sadly was not released back in its day, remaining almost 30 years in a can until the mid-80’s.
An amazing record that aims to achieve deserved recognition for the almost forgotten Ersel Hickey’s solid beat.

Pittman Barbara - Sentimental Fool EP (7 single/EP)
€10,00Quick ViewBarbara Pittman was just 18 years old when she made her first official session for Sun Records, although she had previously made some demos in which she demonstrated that, despite her youth, she had a hard and raspy voice that suited perfect for rockabilly.
Although young Barbara grew up in Elvis’ neighbourhood before he began his recording career, and both families were friends, she wasn’t another ‘female answer to Elvis’. Barbara had her own raw and bluesy style, built on chasing boys around Beale Street in Memphis since her earliest childhood.Two versions of one of her best songs at Sun have been included in this EP, which was never released in its day. SENTIMENTAL FOOL was originally recorded in their first official session in April ’56, but the take included here, the rockabilly version, was probably recorded in a previous session and shows a much harsher guitar feelin’. The second version is a demo, in a style much closer to Elvis ‘54 Sun recordings.
Side B opens with EVERLASTING LOVE, a song that appeared on her third single for Sun, in 1958, being the only song included here that was originally released. The EP is completed with a song that his good friend Elvis also performed for Sun, the western ballad I’LL NEVER LET YOU GO, originally recorded by Jimmy Wakely. Barbara recorded it as demo, backed just by two guitars.
