Lee Brenda - Grandma, What Great Songs You Sang / Miss Dynamite (Käytetty CD)
€10,00Quick ViewHere is the first volume in Ace’s forthcoming programme of Brenda Lee re-issues that will see her first ten LPs for US Decca paired across five CDs.
The best selling female pop vocalist of the early to mid 1960s, Brenda Lee was an international megastar who sold over 100 million records – she was voted Best Female Vocalist by the NME for five consecutive years – all before she was 21. And while it is true to say she showed a preference for recording ballads in order to attract the greatest number of record buyers, she also possessed one of the toughest rock’n’roll voices of the period – THE greatest according to John Lennon.

Glen Glenn - Rocks! (Käytetty CD)
€11,00Quick ViewMAHTAVA! UPEA!! KAIKKI 50`S ROCKABILLYT SAMASSA PAKETISSA!! UPEA KIRJANEN!! Glen Glenn is perhaps California’s best known original 1950s rockabilly outside of Eddie Cochran. A veteran of the fertile California country music scene of the 1950s, Glen along with his longtime partner Gary Lambert on guitar recorded some of the best loved rockabilly sides of all time, including Everybody’s Movin’ and One Cup Of Coffee, which have both been covered by artists as diverse as The Stray Cats and Bob Dylan! Glen originally recorded a handful of 45’s for ERA and DORE Records in the late 1950s, but his legacy is also best known through a slew of demo recordings, unissued tracks, alternate takes, and live recordings from the television and radio. Glen’s recordings have been available on reissue since the 1970s, but you had to buy 6 CDs to have all the recordings, with tons of duplication-until now. Leave it to Bear Family to FINALLY do a cohesive presentation of all of Glen Glenn’s recordings. This disc, compiled by British rock ’n’ roll expert Bill Millar, is the first of two that Bear Family plans to do, and contains all of Glen’s studio recordings. From his early country demos (with Ralph Mooney on steel guitar) to the ERA Recordings he is best known for (including the dance floor fave Everybody’s Movin’), his rare DORE sides from the late 50s/early 60s (including the never-before reissued Suzie Green from Abilene), along with several alternate takes and rare studio demos, this CD is the definitive word on Glen’s studio recordings. The second CD which is planned for release next year will be the definitive compilation of his live recordings and other alternate takes. Bonus here is the incredible packaging featuring an 64-page booklet, packed with incredible pictures of Glen and Gary Lambert backstage with the likes of Elvis, the Maddox Brothers, the Everly Brothers and just about everybody else who was touring the West Coast during the 1950s! Liner notes by Deke Dickerson, who delivers the definitive word on Glen’s recordings. Even if you have the other Glen Glenn reissues, you’re best advised to take them to the used CD store and get this superlative release with the deluxe Bear Family sound and packaging for your collection!

Masaaki Hirao And His All Stars Wagon - Nippon Rock`n`Roll-The Birth Of Japanese Rokabirii 1958-1960 (Käytetty CD)
€11,00Quick View””Nippon Rock’n’Roll” documents the rise of Masaaki Hirao. Dubbed ”The Japanese Elvis”, Hirao was one of the famed Rokabirii Sannin Otoko (Three Rockabillies), alongside singers Mickey Curtis and ”Kei-chan”, Keijiro Yamashita. In early 1958, the rokabirii buumu (rockabilly boom) was born, the first youth music tribe in the Land Of The Rising Sun.Rokabirii may resemble US rockabilly, but this Nipponese version is a more varied dish. Hirao and his band’s covers of Eddie Cochran, Elvis Presley and Little Richard are not kitsch renditions, but raw, desperate rockers. Hear a Paul Anka makeover, but put through a rocking mangle; a smattering of jazz; a twist of New Orleans; and some Japanese folk songs with a greased-down quiff. American occupation a distant memory, these boys wanted to party.Country and hillbilly music was a mainstay of young Japanese musicians working the GI base and jazz café circuit of the 1950s. Following the runaway success of a Japanese cover of ’Heartbreak Hotel’ (Hirao’s version here has dynamite in its teeth), demand grew for more of this strange, new music. The need was met with a huge gala, the Nichigeki Western Carnival, which showcased the new rokabirii groups to thousands of screaming Japanese teenagers. Wild footage of the concerts, alongside that of burgeoning radical student movements, put fear of a wave of delinquency into the heart of the establishment.The studio numbers here are hardboiled, with unkempt live recordings that really rock. Tough drums back up honking sax, in a pedal steel pandemonium with slap bass. In the words of Elvis: these guys ”get real gone”. By Howard Williams”

Scott Jack - Way To Survive (Käytetty CD)
€10,00Quick ViewFIRST NEW JACK SCOTT STUDIO ALBUM IN OVER 50 YEARS – TO BE RELEASED IN OCTOBER 2015 ON BLUELIGHT RECORDS.
It’s been a long time coming, but now it’s here! The new Jack Scott album ”Way to Survive” will be released on October 9th, 2015. The album consists of twelve country and rock ’n’ roll songs carefully selected by Jack himself and the Bluelight Records production team. Jack Scott recorded ”Way to Survive” in Finland with the same dream team responsible for the highly acclaimed Hayden Thompson and Mac Curtis albums.
When Jack Scott first appeared on the rock ’n’ roll scene in the late 1950’s he immediately demonstrated a highly individual and powerful style. His first recordings with a snarling rockabilly attitude in 1957 exhibited a profound country rock synthesis and soon after he hit the charts with the tremendous ballad ”My True Love”. Jack Scott’s principal pop success came with strong ballads like ”What In the World’s Come Over You” and ”Burning Bridges” which were massive hits on both sides of the Atlantic in 1960. It was his ballads that marked Jack Scott’s unique contribution to rock ’n’ roll. They were the slowest, heaviest and gutsiest of the era.
Born Giovanni Scafone on January 24th 1936 in Windsor, Ontario, Jack Scott signed a recording deal at the age of 21 in 1957 and over the next five years he scored 19 hit singles. Double A-sided single from 1958, ”My True Love” / ”Leroy”, became his first million-seller, with one song peaking at number three and the other at number 11 on the Billboard pop chart. It also became a Top Ten hit in England.
The biggest follow-ups were ”Goodbye Baby” (1959 #8), ”What In the World’s Come Over You” (1960 #5) and ”Burning Bridges” (1960 #3). One of the most well-known songs of Jack Scott, “The Way I Walk”, was a minor hit for Jack himself but it became a punk rock anthem and was covered in the 1970’s by Robert Gordon and in the 1980’s by The Cramps and was featured in the movie Natural Born Killers.
Jack Scott sounded tough, like someone you wouldn’t want to meet in a dark alley. Still today Jack Scott continues to vacillate between a cowboy crooner and a rough-edged rocker and he occasionally appears on the rockabilly circuit, still looking and sounding like a man you seriously don’t want to mess with.
