Waters Muddy - Electric Mud (Gatefold Sleeve) (LP)
€29,90Quick View”In an attempt to make Muddy more sellable to his newly found white audience, Chess lumbered him with Hendrix-influenced psychedelic blues arrangements for Electric Mud. Commercially, actually, the results weren’t bad; Marshall Chess claims it sold between 150,000 and 200,000 copies. Musically, it was as ill-advised as putting Dustin Hoffman into a Star Wars epic. Guitarists Pete Cosey and Phil Upchurch are very talented players, but Muddy’s brand of down-home electric blues suffered greatly at the hands of extended fuzzy solos. Muddy and band overhaul classics like ”I Just Want to Make Love to You” and ”Hoochie Coochie Man,” and do a ludicrous cover of ”Let’s Spend the Night Together”; wah-wah guitars and occasional wailing soprano sax bounce around like loose basketballs. It’s a classically wrongheaded, crass update of the blues for a modern audience.”

Burch Paul - Fevers (Käytetty CD)
€11,00Quick View”Fevers is songwriter/guitarist Paul Burch’s debut album for Plowboy Records. Co-produced with bandmate and multi-instrumentalist Fats Kaplin at the songwriter’s Pan-American studio in Nashville, Burch wrote all but two tunes on the 13-song set that moves through honky tonk, rockabilly, country swing, string band blues, and vintage R&B. His killer band, WPA Ballclub, often slips the trappings of a tune’s given style to graft on another one seamlessly. Each song was arranged around a central instrument, and Burch (ever the analog junkie) taped various takes live, just as rehearsals were gelling. The vibe is relaxed but kinetic, live yet perfectly aurally balanced. The punchy, reverb-drenched rockabilly of ”Couldn’t Get a Witness” pushes the margin of the form into jump blues. ”Straight Tears, No Chaser” is pure Bakersfield honky tonk, with a fine harmony vocal by Kristi Rose and a singing steel guitar by Kaplin. ”Two Trains Pullin'” weds an early R&B feel to proto rock & roll — while its lyrics offer a nod to the blues of Jimmy Rogers, the tune’s sweet spot is the meld of Burch’s voice with a harmony vocal by Jen Gunderman. Speaking of harmony, Kelly Hogan lends hers to the stellar cover of Tennessee Ernie Ford’s ”Ocean of Tears.” Hogan, singing through the same mike, plays the role of vocalist Kay Starr from the original. ”Breakin’ in a Brand New Heartache”’s use of a Rhodes piano weds country boogie to Memphis rhythm & blues à la Wilbert Harrison. The interplay between Burch’s voice and Kaplin’s fiddle on ”(I Love) A Melancholy Baby” elevates one of the set’s two lovely ballads; the other is the poetic, midtempo ”Sagrada,” which weds mariachi to country (and features the best lyrics on the album). The reading of ”I’m Going to Memphis” combines both Johnny Cash’s and Memphis Slim’s versions simultaneously. Choogling acoustic two-step country introduces electric guitars, drums, and bass, transforming it into a strutting juke joint blues. On ”Sac au Lait,” Burch channels Hank Williams’ ”On the Bayou” feel, with a party-time Cajun fiddle by Kaplin. On Fevers, the vibe is electrifying: the sound is round and warm, the playing red hot. Paul Burch & the WPA Ballclub rip it up on a fine group of songs to create what they like to call ”American Groove.””

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”

Presley Elvis - Elvis At Stax 2LP (Ltd, Blue) (LP)
€35,00Quick View”180 gramman upea vinyyli paketti! UUSINTAJULKAISU 2013 julkaistusta tupla-albumista. Rajoitettu 2000 kappaleen painos sinisellä vinyylillä.
Riding high on the success of ’Aloha From Hawaii’ (also on vinyl), Elvis did something remarkable. He decided that his next recording project would be on his home turf – Memphis, TN. The most desirable studio in town was the red-hot STAX, the launching pad of such greats as Otis Redding, Wilson Pickett, Sam & Dave and Isaac Hayes. Elvis assembled the very best musicians in town, members of Booker T. and The MGs, The Memphis Boys and his own TCB band to create the ultimate band and he searched for fresh new material that would reflect his new path. Such songs as ’I Got A Feelin’ In My Body’ and ’Loving Arms’ demonstrate an artist looking to broaden his palette and his reach. The Stax material has never been positioned as a whole body of work, but is an amazing chapter of Elvis’ career. With the ’Elvis At Stax’ release, all of this material is collected for the first time. Along with some of the funky outtakes, it creates a fresh new package that, while it doesn’t have the known hits, tells a great story.”

The music is the focus of the season, Elvis appear better than ever, concentrate and strong He delivered a long show with no surprises in the track list respect the season, but pure dynamite from the begin to the end of the show.This recording come from an early generation copy of the master tape, the sound quality is very good considering the first season. We have on our hands the original mono tape of extremely good quality enabling us to carry out simple re-mastering work, concentrating on the reduction of noise trying to achieve a more clear sound and of Elvis, keeping his vocal power up in the central mix and at the same time trying to give a great definition to the background music. The Tape was incomplete, Suspicious Minds was missing and most part of the Life Story dialogue (only the first 48 seconds left), we have been able to include Suspicious Minds from a second source of the same show in the matter to give to the show the deserved completeness. So enjoy our work and realize: this is one of the best possible audience recording of this season you can find all around!
