Lewis Jerry Lee - Live At The Star Club Hamburg (180 gram) (LP)
€22,00Quick ViewWOW! MIKÄ JULKAISU! YKSI KAUTTA_AIKOJEN PARHAISTA LIVE LEVYISTÄ VINYYLINÄ! JA MIKÄ HIENOINTA BEAR FAMILYN 180 GRAMMAN SPECIALINA! MUKANA VAIKKA MITÄ EKSTRAA!! PAKKO HANKINTA! In poll after poll, this LP is hailed as one of the greatest records of all time and quite possibly the greatest live recording ever. And now this 1964 classic makes a welcome reappearance on vinyl. Jerry Lee was never on better form, and his backing group, the Nashville Teens, are STILL trying to catch up with him. Jerry Lee went from one classic to another. His reading of Your Cheating Heart is still definitive, and Whole Lotta Shakin’ is quite possibly the greatest-ever version. Fortyfive years later, we can re-live that night on the Reeperbahn. For those who bought the original LP, Bear Family’s remastering will enable you to listen to it anew, for those who missed it, there’s no excuse now.–As a bonus, Bear Family has included one song, Down The Line, missing from the original LP. And: when you open the gate-fold cover, there’s a large street map (60 x 60cm / 24 x 24) of Hamburg’s St. Pauli quarter showing the Reeperbahn and Star-Club. This exclusive full-color graphic was designed by Ulf Harten, a well-known artist and friend of Bear Family.

Lewis Jerry Lee - Mercury Smashes… And Rockin’ Sessions (10CD Boxset+ BOOK) (CD)
€199,00Quick ViewDamn Good Country Songs and Jerry Lee’s Rock ’n’ Roll Revival Show. That was the story of the last eight years of Jerry Lee Lewis on Mercury Records…the story told on these 10 CDs.
Between 1970 and 1973, nearly every Jerry Lee Lewis single entered the country Top 20, including such classic country chart-toppers as There Must Be More To Love Than This and Would You Take Another Chance On Me/Me And Bobby McGee.
The years covered by this boxed set were the most consistently successful of Jerry Lee’s career, but they were troubled years too. This set chronicles his journey from country chart-topper back to the church, and his triumphant return to rock ’n’ roll with Chantilly Lace. All the classic albums from 1970 to 1978 are included complete (with the exception of the London Sessions and the live albums, which will be issued separately). The Huey Meaux-produced ’Southern Roots’ session is here together with all the unissued cuts and out-takes, as well as ’The Killer Rocks On,’ the rare gospel album ’In Loving Memories,’ and ten other original Mercury LPs. In addition, there are more than 40 recordings not originally issued by Mercury in the Seventies making their first appearance on CD here.
This set also features upgraded sound and includes previously unpublished photos, a newly researched text and session-by-session notes by Colin Escott, and a newly researched discography by Ari Bass.

Eddie Cochran was truly Somethin’ Else. He had the look. He had the talent. He had the attitude. He played
guitar–really played guitar. He produced his own records. He wrote his own songs. And he died too soon,
leaving the tantalizing promise of what might have been. Eddie Cochran was no prefabricated teen idol. He
controlled his music in a way that few early rock ’n’ rollers could or did. He lived in the studio and explored its
potential, and, as rock ’n’ roll changed, he changed with it. His death in 1960 was a tragic loss.
This is the most comprehensive Eddie Cochran compilation ever assembled!

KAIKKI JOHNNY BURNETTE BIISIT SAMALLA BOXILLA, JA MUKANA UPEA KIRJA.
Johnny Burnette was at the heart of rock ’n’ roll music for almost ten years, and had a leading role in most of the changes that overtook the music from the dawn of rockabilly to the British Invasion. Now his music from those incredible years is complete for the first time!Johnny Burnette was one of the very few Memphis rockabillies actually born in Memphis. Many rank his 1956 and 1957 Rock ’n’ Roll Trio recordings as the finest in all of rockabilly. The explosiveness and youthful energy truly heralded a new era in music, and the Trio’s impact is felt to this day. But there was much more to Johnny Burnette, and it’s all here on 9 CDs. Here is his very first record from 1955 as well as all of the Rock ’n’ Roll Trio recordings complete with alternate takes, and all of Johnny’s Hollywood recordings, plus one hundred rare or unissued demos. Johnny and his brother Dorsey began their west coast career writing songs for Ricky Nelson (Believe What You Say, It’s Late, etc.). Johnny recorded for Nelson’s label, Imperial, in 1958, then switched to Freedom/Liberty Records later that year. During his four years on Liberty, he scored several worldwide smash hits that defined the early Sixties, including Dreamin’, You’re Sixteen, Little Boy Sad, and Big Big World. All the issued and previously unissued Liberty recordings are here, complete for the first time. After leaving Liberty in 1962, he recorded for Chancellor (seven unissued Chancellor recordings are included here), Reprise, and then Capitol. The Capitol sessions are complete at last, too. Finally, Johnny recorded for his own label, Sahara/Magic Lamp, before dying tragically in a boating accident in 1964.In addition to all of the session recordings, this exclusive boxed set includes three CDs of demos that Johnny recorded with Eddie Cochran, his brother Dorsey, and others. It also includes his instrumental recordings for Infinity and Gothic, as well as Dorsey’s rockabilly classic Bertha Lou (featuring Johnny on guitar and background vocals).This set also includes a newly researched biography by Colin Escott and a complete discography by Russ Wapensky and Richard Weize, as well as exclusive photos from private collections and the Burnette family

Nelson Ricky - The American Dream – The Complete Imperial & Verve Recordings 1957-1962 (6CD Boxset) (CD)
€150,00Quick ViewTÄYDELLINEN !! Mukana mahtava kovakantinen kirja!!
ABOUT RICKY NELSON…They call me a teenage idol…” Ricky Nelson sang in 1962. And of course he was the prototypical teenage idol. Already one of the most familiar faces on American television, he cut his first single at the age of seventeen. That single, I’m Walkin’, quickly amassed impressive sales and launched a career that would span three decades. A fan of Sun rockabilly, Ricky assembled his own band with a fabulous rock ’n’ roll sound, featuring guitarist James Burton, who would join him in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. He drew songs from some of the era’s greatest writers, including Johnny and Dorsey Burnette, Baker Knight, Gene Pitney, and Johnny Cash.
And just in case anyone thought that the family sitcom made Ricky Nelson a star, it’s worth remembering that the show wasn’t broadcast outside the United States, but Ricky was an international star, an influence on Cliff Richard, and an early favorite of Paul McCartney, among many others.
ABOUT THIS BOXED SET…Twenty-five years in the making! Ever since Bear Family Records started, we’ve wanted to do the complete Ricky Nelson recordings on Verve and Imperial. Few artists had the consistency …and few were as influential. But we didn’t want to do an incomplete job so we waited until we had access to all the original masters and session tapes so that we could do it absolutely right.Now we’re ready, and here’s what we found!
* Every Rick Nelson recording for Verve and Imperial in pristine original sound quality from the original tapes!
* The very rare Challenge recordings with the FLEAS and THROPHIES featuring Ricky.
* Many titles in stereo as well as mono!
* Many previously unissued alternate takes, not included on the recent boxed set or elsewhere!
* Sessions with false starts and incomplete takes. We’ll take you to Master Recorders for a Ricky Nelson session!
* Rare TV performances, including duets with Lorrie Collins of the Collins Kids.
* Rare movie performances including a duet with Dean Martin!
* An incredible hardcover book with many previously unpublished photos and a newly researched biography by Los Angeles-based music journalist Todd Everett!
* New 3-track mixes by Bill Inglot. Do we need to say more? * Yes we do: The production and final mastering is done by the ’One and Only Bob Jones!’
* Did we forget to mention hits? They’re all here: I’m Walkin’, Be-Bop Baby, Stood Up, Waitin’ In School, Believe What You Say, My Bucket’s Got A Hole In It, Poor Little Fool, Lonesome Town, I Got A Feelin’, Never Be Anyone Else But You, It’s Late, Just A Little Too Much, Travelin’ Man, Hello Mary Lou, A Wonder Like You, Young World, Teenage Idol, It’s Up To You, Today’s Teardrops…and many more!* = STEREO”
