Rock Ola - Beautiful Rough – Best Of (CD)
€10,00Quick ViewSuomen rock-kuninkaita on valittu jo 50-luvun lopulta lähtien ja onpa joku saattanutjulistaa itsensä kuninkaaksi ilman valintaakin. Rock-Ola ei aatelista titteliä oletarvinnut, vaikka lukuisten ihailijoittensa mielestä kuuluukin kuninkaiden joukkoon.Rock-Ola on antanut musiikkinsa puhua puolestaan ja jättänyt kilpailut niille jotkaeivät omin avuin pärjää.Olli Ola” Pihlajanmaa sai rokkikeuhkokuumeen monien ikäistensä tavoin 70-luvunlopun teinivuosinaan. Tauti osoittautui vaaralliseksi ja pysyväksi, muttei sentääntappavaksi. Jälkiseurauksena Olalle jäi legendaarisen levyautomaatin mukaan tulluttaiteilijanimi Rock-Ola ja mikä parasta, ääni joka nosti hänet rock’n’roll-laulajienmaailmanluokkaan.Kuten niin monen muunkin, myös Rock-Olan ensimmäinen idoli oli rock-kuninkaittenkuningas Elvis Presley. Elviksen vaikutusta on hänen laulussaan mahdotonta ollahuomaamatta, vaikkakaan mihinkään imitointiin Ola on viisaasti osannut ollasortumatta. Maailmassa on ollut vain yksi Elvis, mutta ei ole toista Rock-Olaakaan.Näin on myös Olan toisen suuren vaikuttajan, jazzlaulajatar Billie Holidaynkohdalla. Holidayn vaikutus tuo Olan tulkintoihin sellaista herkkyyttä, jotaharvemmin rock’n’rollin laulajilla kuullaan.Soittajanuransa Ola aloitti rumpalina, mikä kuuluu edelleen hänen laulunsaoivaltavassa rytmityksessä. Maanlaajuiseen maineeseen Ola sai kosketustasuosikkiyhtye Johnny And The New Dodgersissa, mutta kun Suomen suosituimmanrockabilly-yhtyeen Teddy And The Tigersin johtaja Teddy Guitar pyysi häntärumpaliksi uuteen Lonestars-ryhmäänsä, alkoi Ola saada ansaitsemaansa huomiota myössolistina. Tässä rockabillyn superbändiksi ylistetyssä kokoonpanossa olivattasavertaisina laulajina niin Teddy Guitar, Buck Jones kuin Rock-Olakin. Kuten niinusein all-stars -tyyppiset kokoonpanot, jäi Lonestarskin lyhytikäiseksi. Sama ryhmäjatkoi vielä toisen albumin verran uudella nimellä The Falcons, mutta sen tultuatiensä päähän, Ola oli valmis lähtemään omille teilleen.Rock-Olan sooloura oli saamassa kansainvälistä nostetta. Ruotsissa riitti keikkojaeri säestysryhmien kanssa lähes joka viikonlopuksi, mutta vieläkin parempaa oliluvassa. Vuonna -81 Ola äänitti englantilaisen, vankkaa suosiota rockabillypiireissänauttineen The Blue Catsin kanssa ensimmäisen oman albuminsa. Lopputulos olihuippuluokkaa, mutta kohtalo painoi peukalonsa alaspäin. Levy-yhtiö Rebel ehtikaatua ennen levyn ilmestymistä ja maailmanvalloitus jäi haaveeksi. Vasta vuonna ’96- viitisentoista vuotta levyn äänitysten jälkeen Jungle Records julkaisi kappaleetCD:llä Slap That Bass.Vaikka Rock-Ola tunnettiin mestarillisena laulajana ja uskolliset ihailijat pysyivätyleisössä, jäi levytysten määrä yllättävän vähäiseksi. Vähäiselle määrälle toi tokipositiivista vastapainoa niiden korkea laatu. Seitsemäntuumaisia vinyylilevyjäilmestyi eri yhtiöiden kautta parin vuoden välein ja Ola jatkoi yhteistyötä mm.Bippin’ Pete Trion, Lost Soulsin ja Butterfingersin kanssa. Vuonna -90 Rock-Ola tekiuuden aluevaltauksen liittyessään instrumentaaliyhtyeenä tunnetun The Charadesinlaulusolistiksi. Perinteisestä rock’n’rollista siirryttiin reippaasti melodisempaanrockiin, mikä jäi pysyvästi kuulumaan Olan tulkinnoissa jatkossakin.Sooloura sai uutta puhtia lopulta vuonna -96, kun Bluelight Records julkaisi albuminYesterday Is Gone. Se toi esiin Rock-Olan entistäkin monipuolisempana tulkitsijana,mutta valitettavasti levyllä soittanut kokoonpano jäi jälleen lyhytikäiseksi. KunOla sai vihdoinkin kasaan uuden yhtyeensä Rock-Ola And The Freewheelers, nousi seoitis suomalaisen rock’n’rollin kärkikaartiin. Bändin nimissä julkaistu Upskirt oliuuden vuosituhannen alussa sekä kaupallinen että arvostelumenestys. Komeasti sujuibänditoiminta jatkossakin, sillä vuonna 2004 julkaistu konserttitaltiointi Live OnThe Rocks oli vahva näyttö ryhmän keikkakunnosta.Vaikka Rock-Ola ei ole kaupallisessa mielessä saavuttanut ansaitsemaansa menestystä,intohimoiset musiikin ystävät tiedostavat hänen arvonsa. Kun Ola esittäärakastamaansa musiikkia, hän ei pelkästään laula. Hän antaa palan sisintään, osansielustaan ja sydämestään. Sitä kuulija ei voi olla vaistoamatta ja se nostaaRock-Olan illasta toiseen tulkitsijoiden kuningasluokkaan.- Honey Aaltonen * ennenjulkaisematon uusi äänite _________1-2, 6, 9, 14, 17 & 21 Rock-Ola & The Freewheelers3-4, 13 & 19 Rock-Ola With The Blue Cats7-8, 16 & 22-23 Rock-Ola & The Charades10 Rock-Ola With Johnny Filter Band12 & 25 Lonestars18 Rock-Ola With The Butterfingers20 Falcons26 Rock-Ola With Boppin’ Pete Trio27 Rock-Ola With Olli Haavisto”

Help Me Devil - Lokanta Hell (Käytetty CD)
€10,00Quick ViewWhat is Rock ’n’ Roll? Nobody will just call it the devil’s music. Not anymore. Too bad.
Unfortunately now people think that Rock music and Rock ’n’ Roll are the same. Well, they are not. Rock ’n’ Roll is bigger and much better.
HELP ME DEVIL -Juancar Parlange (guitar & vocals), Mario Vega (bass) and Julia Perez (drums) – also know the difference. They hate Rock. They love Rock ’n’ Roll. And they know much more than that.
They know that Rock ’n’ Roll is about being young at heart, is about getting the crazy ideas out of your head and putting them into the world in the most uncorrupted, brash, uncalculated manner possible. And at the same time they know that rock ’n’ roll is the common tradition of all the past and the beginning of everything new. A kind of folk music based on the blues. Finally they know that Rock ’n’ Roll is a lifestyle. A crossroad. A deal with the Big Black Man”.
In ”Lokanta Hell”, HELP ME DEVIL’s second album, produced by Matt Verta-Ray and recorded at NY Hed studios, NYC (USA). you will find all this. and more:
Three chords and the truth. Thirteen new songs. Plus one Hasil Adkins cover (HMD recorded Hasil’s ”Chicken Walk” for their first album). A tribute to Uncle Silas Payne (a blind man who lived with Sam Philips when he was a child). Screaming vocals, vibrant black and white guitars, good old backbeat rhythms, rattling keyboards, beating hearts, sweat, love, and passion. With Daddy Long Legs (who has just released his first LP with Norton records) playing blues harp and screaming. Mickey Finn (Left Banke, Boss Hog) playing piano and organ. Tetsua Hayakawa (Das Boot) lead guitar on ”Too much rice, too little chicken”. And Matt Verta-Ray (Heavy Trash, Speedball baby) on several tracks.”

Presley Elvis - Autumn Gold 2CD (Käytetty CD)
€30,00Quick View”The complete South Bend, Indiana show from October 1st, 1974 and a generous chunk of the famous August 16, 1974 RCA Hollywood rehearsal in a totally different sound – binaural stereo, as it was originally recorded. The South Bend date was originally issued in 2003 by Follow That Dream, but ”Killing Me Softly With His Song” and some stage dialogue were omitted, and the closing vamp was clipped.
Though Elvis’ personal problems were affecting some of his shows around this time, he seemed to be in fine fettle in South Bend. Overall, this show presents a solid and pleasing performance by Elvis, and though it has been released before, we can now enjoy a more complete and — most importantly – sonically superior recording of this concert!
The August 16, 1974 rehearsal surfaced on bootleg compact disc in 1995, then officially fourteen years later on Follow That Dream. For the first time, Audionics presents these songs as originally recorded, in binaural stereo; and the sound is better than ever before. Unfortunately, the entire tape is unavailable, but all the essential performances are here. It is a real pleasure to listen tracks like ”Softly As I Leave You” and ”Twelfth Of Never” in binaural form.
”AUTUMN GOLD” is presented in a great-looking 2-disc digipak with a 20-page booklet filled with photographs taken that night in South Bend and at additional live shows and candids from March, August and October 1974.
All these recordings have been carefully engineered to be presented in the best possible sound.

Richard Cliff - Let Me Tell You Baby…It’s Called Rock’n’ Roll 2CD (CD)
€22,00Quick View”Taas löytyy! Upea kokoelma 1958-1960 matskua! Ennenjulkaisemattomia!!
Available at last, this 2 CD set is an extended version of the much-praised ten inch LP of the same title, released by Rollercoaster last year. These recordings are previously unissued on CD. Broadcast on the Light Programme s Saturday Club in the 50s and 60s, we are fortunate that these masters of Cliff as a primal rocker have survived, enabling us to hear the early days of a kid with a very big future. Two CDs and a 44-page booklet are included. Rock n Roll has become a generic term these days … it is even used in the USA to describe current recordings by artists that make genuine Rock n Roll fans cringe. Real Rock n Roll comes from the 50s and early 60s, and no matter how much they are imitated by tribute bands and the like, the originals remain the best. Cliff Richard soon hung up his Rock n Roll shoes (despite what he says on the last track of CD2 in this collection) as he became an all-round entertainer . But before Cliff slipped into a smart suit and tie and clipped his hair, there was a brief period when TV s ’Oh Boy’ and radio s ’Saturday Club’ featured just enough wild rockers to keep us watching and listening to them …
after all, those shows were all there was. Cliff and the Drifters were stars of both programmes and, thanks to their almost instant baptism via live shows in theatres following the chart success of Move It , they were soon belting out quality Rock n Roll on the airwaves. Many of the recordings seem superior to the released records for energy and sheer enthusiasm. Cliff was lucky to have a great band from the start of his professional career … a driving rhythm section that soon became stars in their own right. A detailed booklet with notes by respected journalist and historian Rob Finnis tells the story of Cliff s Rock n Roll years and is illustrated with rare photographs and memorabilia from the era. For historic reasons we have created two CDs containing tracks from ’Saturday Club’: CD 1 features musical content from high-quality recordings plus some tracks of historical interest that were taped off-air (and are therefore of a lesser quality); these have been gathered at the end of CD1 and do not appear on CD 2. On CD 2 we have included the music together with the introductions and interviews just as they were heard in the original broadcasts. Words alone cannot describe the music that captivated many teenagers in the 1950s and turned them into fans for the rest of their lives, but Cliff came pretty close when he sang, Let me tell you baby, it s called Rock n Roll . For more proof, listen to this album.”

Presley Elvis - From Hawaii to Las Vegas (1973) (Käytetty CD)
€70,00Quick ViewMielenkiintoinen! 1973 harjoitusmatskua!! Ihan kohtalainen äänenlaatukin… Kyllä ainakin mulle kelpaa…
The new 5 digipack release is a cassette recording of Elvis’ January 25 dress rehearsal for his January/February 1973 season at The Las Vegas Hilton. The rough audio quality is more than compensated by the fascinating insight into how Elvis worked in order to create his shows. With little talk, and a lot of music, we are invited to a first row presentation of what he had in mind, and yet he decided to change the repertoire the next day. Among the many songs is ”Separate Ways” – rehearsed with and without the orchestra and a song that Elvis chose to never perform in public.”
