Velvet Underground - Peel Slowly And See

 


The Velvet Underground has grown over the years to be recognized as the most groundbreaking band of the '60s, and this 5-CD set is a shattering testament to their greatness and Lou Reed's genius. On its 5 CDs are newly remastered versions of all four of their studio albums (with The Velvet Underground presented in its alternate, "closet" mix version), plus-hold on-25 unreleased tracks, including 11 demos with John Cale and one without, seven Loaded outtakes and six live performances, plus other rarities plucked from VU and Another View.

This comprehensive five-disc retrospective of the Velvet Underground chronicles the band from its earliest demo tapes, recorded in 1965, to Lou Reed's final work with band, in 1970. At their notorious peak, Reed, John Cale, Sterling Morrison, and Mo Tucker epitomized the sound of intellectual art punks being spontaneously creative in Andy Warhol's Manhattan. Rock & roll has never been the same since Reed's gutter-rock observations and Cale's cool, droning electric viola blanketing the band's mysterious three-chord innovations. It's all here: loads of feedback, classic songwriting, and Reed's transformation from Dylan imitator to sonic-rock auteur. With previously unreleased gems, live performances, and other oddities, this is everything you wanted to know about the Velvets but were afraid to ask. Essential listening.

Johnny Cash - Original Sun Singles '55 - '58

 


Johnny Cash was a genius; and his earlier songs like these recorded on Sun Records prove he had what it took from an early age at that! Johnny sang with a lot of passion and genuine emotion; and I'm very impressed. The quality of the sound is excellent and the artwork is very nicely done.  There's tons of fine music here; we get twenty-four tunes on this great CD and that's very good. The track set starts with "Cry! Cry! Cry!" Johnny does this faultlessly and his voice is nice and strong. Terrific! Of course, Johnny's "Folsom Prison Blues" was a big number that made the airwaves sizzle; and "So Doggone Lonesome" is another song that Johnny aces as effortlessly as if it were mere breathing. Of course, we know it really wasn't all that easy; Johnny's talent always carried him through. In addition, I could never tire of hearing Johnny's "I Walk the Line;" and that percussion is very creative!  "Get Rhythm" showcases Johnny squarely front and center--right where he belongs! Ballads like "There You Go;" "Next in Line;" Give My Love to Rose" and more also show Johnny's excellent singing with a fantastic guitar arrangement that enhances the melody even more.  "You're the Nearest Thing to Heaven" is a most romantic love song--what a performance Johnny gives of this song! It's charming even in our times. "The Ways of a Woman in Love" shines bright; and I also like "I Just Thought You'd Like to Know;" "It's Just About Time;" "Thanks a Lot" and "Forgot to Remember to Forget." "Luther Played the Boogie" is one of my very favorites on this album; and all this leaves me wanting more--lots more! This is a great introductory CD for anybody just discovering the artistry and talent of Johnny Cash; these Sun Records recordings have been lovingly transferred to CD for us to enjoy over and over again. In addition, Johnny Cash fans should get add this to their collections if they don't have this already. This album is even very good for people interested in the very early beginnings of modern day rock and roll. (Amazon)

VA - Sound System, The Story Of Jamaican Music [2012] (8 x CD's)

 


To mark the 50th anniversary of Jamaican independence, Island Records released a huge box set entitled Sound System – The Story Of Jamaican Music. The box set featured 8 x CDs and a deluxe hard-backed book written by acclaimed writer Chris Salewicz (author of biographies of Bob Marley and Joe Strummer, and Rude Boy – Once Upon A Time In Jamaica). It also contains hundreds of photos by legendary photographer Adrian Boot. Compiled by Ramus (who worked with Chris Blackwell at Island, Mango and Palm Pictures) and Paul ‘Groucho’ Smykle (influential dub producer who worked with PiL, Grace Jones, David Bowie, Jah Wobble, and BAD), Sound System features 128 songs randomly programmed to replicate the way a Sound System DJ might select his set on any given night. It features a wonderfully eclectic mix of R&B, mento, ska, blue beat, reggae, dub and funk and celebrates the incredible musical gift this small island has given to the world.  Sound System is a snapshot of Jamaican culture, the soundtrack you would hear on jukeboxes, ghetto blasters and on every radio station if you drove across Jamaica. From Althea & Donna’s global hit "Uptown Top Ranking" to Eric Donaldson’s "Cherry O Baby" via Augustus Pablo’s peerless "King Tubby Meets The Rockers Uptown" and The Royals’ "Free Speech And Movement" there’s something for everyone here.

VA - Stax '68: A Memphis Story [2018] (5 x CD's)

 


2018 marked the 50th anniversary of a pivotal year for Stax Records and for American history: 1968. This period immediately follows the untimely passing of Otis Redding; it is the year that Stax parted ways with Atlantic Records, and it's also when Martin Luther King was assassinated in Memphis. This 5-disc CD box set compiles every single (A- and B- sides) released on Stax and its subsidiary labels in '68 over 120 iconic songs from era-defining artists, including Otis Redding, Staple Singers, William Bell, Booker T. and the M.G.'s, Carla Thomas, Johnnie Taylor, Albert King, Isaac Hayes, Linda Lindell, Rufus Thomas and many more.

VA - 100% Blaxploitation ( 2009 )

 


Blaxploitation or blacksploitation is an ethnic subgenre of the exploitation film that emerged in the United States during the early 1970s. The films, while popular, suffered backlash for disproportionate numbers of stereotypical film characters showing bad or questionable motives including criminals, etc. However, the genre does rank among the first in which black characters and communities are the heroes and subjects of film and television, rather than sidekicks or villains or victims of brutality. The genre's inception coincides with the rethinking of race relations in the 1970s. Blaxploitation films were originally aimed at an urban African-American audience, but the genre's audience appeal soon broadened across racial and ethnic lines. Hollywood realized the potential profit of expanding the audiences of blaxploitation films across those racial lines. The Los Angeles National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) head and ex-film publicist Junius Griffin coined the portmanteau from the words "black" and "exploitation." Variety credited Sweet Sweetback's Baadasssss Song and the less radical, Hollywood-financed film Shaft (both released in 1971) with the invention of the blaxploitation genre. Blaxploitation films were also the first to feature soundtracks of funk and soul music. (Wikipedia)

2009 five CD set. 100% Blaxploitation brings together 100 original Funk and Soul tracks from the 1970s Blaxploitation era. Including cuts from Curtis Mayfield, Bobby Womack, The Meters, Aaron Neville and Funkadelic, 100% Blaxploitation is an essential collection, with every funky Soul classic you'll ever need.

To The Outside Of Everything, A Story Of UK Post Punk 1977-1981

 

Named after a lyric from Magazine’s ground-breaking hit, ‘Shot By Both Sides’, TO THE OUTSIDE OF EVERYTHING tells a musical story of how the UK’s post-punk scene evolved from the spirit of 1977 and the arrival of key labels such as Fast, Rough Trade, Zoo, Factory and Cherry Red.

This box set starts in in 1977 and takes you up to 1981 that still after 40 years of being a big fan sounds stupid! What was going on in the Kk starting in 1977 was actually happening a few years earlier but prior to 1977 it was called GARAGE/ACID ROCK, anyway by 1977 there was so much going on in the UK outside of the damned and sex pistols there was just really no name to put on it, PUNK was the year in 1977 UK but there where a lot of other things happening as by 1977 I think many fans where getting tired of the prog rock situation that had dominated starting around 1968/69 as well as blues hard rock. I was time for something new and Punk was it but you also got a lot of other experimental bands coming along and the times where starting to change not just in the UK but New York, LA, Amsterdam & Stockholm, as I have many 45s and great punk or as they call it post punk records from that era. Regardless this great remastered cd box set sounds fantastic and gives you 5 discs of great Punk & Experimental rock bands that started in 1977 in the UK, there is so much great timeless music here and a wonderful book to go with this set. There are so many great NON household named bands here. If that was your thing 40 years back dont pass up on this Box Set.

Girls With Guitars Volumes 1+2+3

 


VA - Girls With Guitars [2004]   -   Great ACE Records collection of sixties garage rock bands. There's a rawness to these recordings, that makes one think of the punk explosion about ten years later. These bands were given short shrift in the media, and you wonder why radio DJ's didn't pay more attention. The male dominated industry made me believe that the only girl groups were The Supremes, The Ronettes or The Shangri-La's; as much as I admire them. I don't think I'd heard a female rock artist until Suzi Quatro and later The Runaways came to the fore. (Joni Mitchell was still folksy before turning to jazz-rock). These bands sound very sixties, very garage, very enjoyable. 

VA - Destroy That Boy! More Girls With Guitars 1965-68 [2009]   -   A 2009 collection of '60s gems recorded by some of the finest (and oft-overlooked) female bands of the era. So you thought the Shangri-Las were a piece of work?! Destroy That Boy! Is a riot of bodacious all-girl bands, femme frat-rock, axe-backed babes and other similar females of the species from the 1963-1970 timescale. This follow-up to Girls With Guitars is another blast of raunchy, cool, and sometimes just-plain-odd rock from a diverse assortment of women. Like its predecessor, this disc shines a light on a too-little-known area of pop music. The obscurity of some of these tracks makes this collection essential for anyone doing serious studies of the history of popular music. But this a fun disc, and there's excellent notes and photos too. Get it and have a blast!

VA - The Rebel Kind Girls with Guitars 3 [2014]   -   This is the third volume in this on-going series from Ace Records that focuses on "girls with guitars" groups.  If you aren't familiar with this series, the first two volumes are: "Girls With Guitars", and "Destroy That Boy! More Girls With Guitars". All three volumes have good/great sides of girls rocking out from the late 60's. This volume is as good overall as the previous two volumes. The sound is very good, clean and fairly crisp without losing that slight vinyl warmth. This set collects sides--the majority in mono from groups from the U.K., U.S., New Zealand, Germany and Japan. Fans may recognize some of these groups/singers like Goldie & The Gingerbreads, Brenda Lee, Ace Of Cups, The Chymes, and maybe one or two more. But the majority are little known or completely unknown to most music fans. The style is mostly a beat/pop sound, with some soul/r&b mixed in here and there. Also here are instrumentals by The Chantels (yes, with singer Arlene Smith of "Maybe" fame--one of the greatest "girl group" singles ever), and (the only non-60's track here by) The Delmonas, which fits in pretty well with this compilation.

VA - Psychedelic Rock Is In My Head

 

Psychedelic rock is a diverse style of rock music inspired, influenced, or representative of psychedelic culture, which is centred around perception-altering hallucinogenic drugs. Psychedelic rock is intended to replicate and enhance the mind-altering experiences of psychedelic drugs, most notably LSD. Many psychedelic groups differ in style, and the label is often used indiscriminately. Originating in the mid-1960s among British and American musicians, the sounds of psychedelic rock invokes three core effects of LSD: depersonalization, dechronicization, and dynamization; all of which detach the user from reality. Musically, the effects may be represented via novelty studio tricks, electronic or non-Western instrumentation, disjunctive song structures, and extended instrumental segments.  (Wikipedia)

Although they shared some similar aesthetics and production techniques, British Psychedelia was quite different than its American counterpart. In general, British psychedelia was either more whimsical or artily experimental than its American counterpart, plus it tended to work within the pop song structure. This is not a hard-and-fast rule, however. No matter how many concise, pop singles they released, Pink Floyd still stretched out dramatically on stage, taking songs into uncharted territory with each performance. However, these general rules do more or less apply, particularly to the studio recordings of British psychedelic acts. (AllMusic)

This set of tracks was inspired by the Record Collectors publication of the top 100 psych albums list as they appear in the book "Record Collector 100 Greatest Psychedelic Records - High Times and Strange Tales from rock's most mind-blowing era". The list only includes releases of LPs and singles that are from British  artists. They are presented here in chronological order from 1966 to 1970. (Note: Jimi Hendrix is included due to his UK recordings and having a UK backing band). Additionally, where a whole album has been named in the list then I have picked a track for this compilation that best fits and/or represents a true psychedelic experience.

NME C86, C87, C88, C89 Deluxe Edition Box Sets


[2014 - 2018] (12 x CD's)

C86   -   Back in May/June 1986, the New Musical Express released one of their regular mail-order cassettes. Reflecting the latest trends in Indie music, C86 was a 22-track cassette which was inspired by the NMEs C81 tape from half a decade earlier. Aside from a few name bands (The Pastels, Primal Scream, the Wedding Present, the Mighty Lemon Drops), most acts were relatively unknown beyond the back pages and gig listings of the weekly music press. A few hadn't even issued a record! C86 slowly but surely became the NME's best-selling ever compilation, selling an estimated 40,000 copies and eventually being reissued on LP and cassette by Rough Trade the following year. C86 prompted a week of shows at the ICA and would come to embody a whole musical style and era. This deluxe expanded edition of the original C86 cassette adds some 50 bonus tracks. The box set is curated by original compiler Neil Taylor and has the endorsement of the NME. Neil has chosen tracks which could conceivably have been on the original C86 package: all the recordings were made between mid-1985 and mid-1986. Neil wrote about many of the bands at the time.

C87   -   To celebrate the 30th anniversary of C86, we’re now proud to announce a sequel, in the shape of C87! Imagine if the NME had reconvened a year on from their original compilation? Well, that’s the inspiration for another 70+ tracks, ranging from well-known indie names to obscurities.None of the selections on C87 have been available on any of Cherry Red’s recent compilations. All tracks were recorded and/or released in the year or so following C86 (i.e. summer 1986 to the end of 1987). Disc 1 boasts bands whose first recordings were made in 86/87. Some of them – The House Of Love, The Shamen, The Darling Buds, The Inspiral Carpets, Cud, etc. – later enjoyed chart success. Others have since enjoyed cult status,including Kitchens Of Distinction, whose debut B-side ‘Escape!’ appears here for the first time; The Boy Hairdressers, who would soon evolve into Teenage Fanclub; The Vaselines, who were covered by Nirvana; and The Sea Urchins, who christened Sarah Records with the classic ‘Pristine Christine’. Discs 2 and 3 revisit many of the bands who graced the original C86 cassette, checking in on later recordings by the likes of The Bodines, The Wedding Present, Miaow, The Servants, The Wolfhounds, Mighty Mighty and McCarthy.

C88   -   is another celebration of the Eighties Indie scene, documenting a golden era when tuneful guitar-based bands made records on shoestring budgets, often issued on small labels with hand-made artwork, with little hope of mainstream exposure. ?This 3-CD box set follows previous best-selling collections C86 (2014) and C87 (2016). C86 expanded the NME?s genre-defining compilation (initially a cassette, later a vinyl LP on Rough Trade) with 50 extra tracks from the period. C87 was an imaginary sequel, picking up the story a year later. ?Disc 1 is devoted to artists who haven?t previously graced this series, who ? for the most part ? first made an impact in 1988. The Stone Roses, Carter USM, Pale Saints and The Mock Turtles would all enjoy mainstream success. Others like The Pooh Sticks, The Man From Delmonte, Bridewell Taxis were cult indie favourites. ?Sarah Records ? which came to epitomise a certain type of Indie Pop ? are represented by The Orchids, Another Sunny Day, The Sea Urchins and The Poppyheads (whose ?Cremation Town? debuts on CD here). Other key indie labels also figure, such as Creation (Apple Boutique, Pacific, The House Of Love, Emily), 53rd & 3rd (The Groovy Little Numbers, The Vaselines) and The Subway Organization (The Clouds, Rodney Allen, The Flatmates, Bubblegum Splash, etc.).

C89   -    is another celebration of the Eighties Indie scene, documenting a golden era when tuneful guitar-based bands made records on shoestring budgets, often issued on small labels with hand-made artwork, with little hope of mainstream exposure. This 3-CD box set follows previous best-selling collections C86 (2014), C87 (2016) and C88 (2017). C86 expanded the NME's genre-defining compilation with 50 extra tracks from the period. C87 and C88 were the imaginary sequels, picking up the story as the 1980s unfolded. Disc 1 is devoted to artists who haven't previously graced this series, who first made an impact in 1988/1989. Carter The Unstoppable Sex Machine, The La's, Milltown Brothers, The Family Cat and The Telescopes were among the indie scene's biggest names that year. Disc 2 revisits many of the bands who appeared on C88, with later singles or B-sides by The Stone Roses, Mock Turtles, Pooh Sticks, The Man From Delmonte, Bridewell Taxis, Popguns, etc... Sarah Records - which came to epitomise a certain type of Indie Pop - are represented by Brighter, The Orchids, Another Sunny Day and Christine's Cat. Other key indie labels also figure, such as Creation (The Revolving Paint Dream), Bristol's The Subway Organization (Korova Milk Bar, Choo Choo Train), Manchester's Playtime (The Rainkings, New Fast Automatic Daffodils), Sheffield's Native (Treebound Story, featuring Richard Hawley, and The Snapdragons), Brighton's La-Di-Da (Daisycutters, Bobby Scarlet, How Many Beans Make Five, Said Liquidator) and Liverpool's Pink Moon (Barbel, The DaVincis, Jactars). C89 also includes two previously unissued tracks..New names to the series include The Bardots, The Seers, Po!, The Ammonites, The Ogdens, Kit, The Candy Darlings, Jane Pow, Rorschach, etc. Several names feature personnel from notable bands, such as post-Razorcuts act Red Chair Fadeaway, post-Chameleons quartet The Sun And The Moon and post-La's combo The Onset. Numerous tracks have never been on CD before. (Amazon)

VA - Alligator's Crucial Blues Series

 

[2003-2007] (9 x CD's)

A well-composed collection, which aims to show all the achievements of the gramophone company published by him, in our time weighs a lot - and tries to move into an understandable music lover with experience a state called a cult collection. And such a sensible blues collection weighs even more. Fortunately, the management of Alligator Records in the person of President Bruce Eiglauer and Vice President Bob DePuh - not just professionals, but also music fans, not at all lost passion for the subject of their business.


And if so, on such "bragging" collections they selected only the most dynamic and winning-sounding material, which is once again proof - "Last Dirty Deal" By Coco Motoya and "Hound Dog Man" By Lonnie Mack and Stevie Ray Vaughan with "... Crucial Rockin' Blues." No unrealized or boring compositions - the task of such CDs and is to captivate the buyer who is not yet particularly interested in the products of the company and, you see, turn it into a fan of their own artists - and there, of course, and in buyer of their albums. It is now very easy to fall under the spell of Alligator artists - with the release of the collections presented here, the total number of these artifacts of the series "Crucial Blues" has increased to nine. And even if you are not a fan of modern blues in all its possible forms and substyles - such albums are indispensable in the CD-collection of any self-described cultural person.

Northern Soul's Classiest Rarities

 


Vol.01 to Vol. 06  ( 2001-2017 )  6 cds

Kent might actually be underselling itself by titling this collection Northern Soul's Classiest Rarities. That leads listeners to expect yet another anthology of generic mid-tempo mid-'60s American soul singles that have somehow come to be worshiped as choice rarities in England's Northern soul scene. These tracks are from the '60s (and occasionally from the early '70s), they are rare, and they do go for absurdly high prices among Northern soul collectors. Actually, however, these form a more diverse CD than the usual Northern soul anthology, with a good number of decent, lushly produced ballads and harmonized soul-pop efforts along with the expected dancefloor filler. Some of the songs from the early half of the '60s have pleasing traces of doo wop and girl group sounds, too. Listeners are still not going to know who many of these people are unless they're one of those collectors, with some exceptions: there's a 1962 single by Joe Simon, a rarity by the Delfonics, and items by cult soul vocalists Clifford Curry and Bettye Swann. More surprisingly, there are a couple of blue-eyed soul ringers by Charlie Rich (whose "Don't Tear Me Down" is a fine and convincing cut with unexpected chord changes) and Jimmy Seals, the latter the same dude who was half of Seals & Crofts. The singles were done all over America, and although there's an absence of lost classics, it's pleasurable listening. Sometimes it's more than that, as with Karmello Brooks' "Tell Me, Baby," with its jazzy hue and dense but rocking strings; Clifford Curry's "Ain't No Danger," which holds up well when stacked next to the Temptations' tougher, late-'60s cuts; Pat Powdrill's infectious up-tempo "Do It"; and the Joytones' "This Love That I'm Giving You," with its dreamy harmonies and uptown orchestration.  (AllMusic Review by Richie Unterberger)

VA - The Sound Of Funk ( 2000 - 2005 )

 


10 Cd's

If you like uncut funk, you'll love this compilation of obscure '70s funk sounds from artists like Leroy & the Drivers, Sons of Slum, and Jake Wade & the Soul Searchers. Funny names aside this is good potent funk, not the self-contained funk band stuff that owned a piece of the charts in the '70s but harder, wicked tracks that would make James Brown and Dyke (of the Blazers) proud. You'll think you're listening to James Brown when "Let the Groove Move You" by Gus "the Groove" Lewis cues and starts spinning; you'll swear Bootsy Collins was playing the hyper basslines, and Lewis has Brown's grunts and groans down pat. Frank Williams must have been schooled at Dyke & the Blazers University because that's who he sounds like on "You Got to Be the Man," spirited horns signifying every line Williams sings. "Everything's Gonna Be Alright" by Robert Moore is straight from the Charles Wright & the Watts 103rd Street Band book of funk and is similar to "Express Yourself."

Women can funk too, as Spanky Wilson proves on "You," a funky riff with some good shout/singing. Other funkers include Dave "Baby" Cortez & the Happy People's "Happy Soul," "The Tramp Part 1" by the Showmen, Inc., "Jan Jan" by Detroit's Fabulous Counts, and "Iron Leg" by Mickey & the Soul Generation. Though most of the artists are unknown, the familiar rhythms, riffs, horn play, use of backing vocals, drum patterns, and basslines aren't. Collectors and casual fans alike can appreciate this one, funk is funk, no matter who's singing it, and a grunt is a grunt is a grunt. (AllMusic Review by Andrew Hamilton)

VA - Ain't Gonna Hush, The Queens of Rhythm & Blues

From the mid-50s to the early 60s, R&B belonged not just to men with guitars, but to women who sang with hungry voices on stages and in studios across the US. Their roots were planted in the blues of Ma Rainey, Mamie Smith, Ida Fox and Bessie Smith, the gospel of Sister Rosetta Tharpe, the jazz of Billie Holiday and Dinah Washington. Their legacy lies in the recordings collected on Ain't Gonna Hush by journalist (Mojo, Record Collector) and R&B authority Lois Wilson. Selected because of their collectability and popularity on the club scene, the 32 tracks selected from the 3CD set Ain't Gonna Hush include contributions by crowned queens of soul Etta James and Aretha Franklin, and other luminaries like Big Maybelle, Little Esther, LaVern Baker and Baby Washington. But lesser-known names are also well represented, whose recordings, like most of the songs collected here, sold poorly, but fetch huge prices today. Their lack of success was not due to ability, performance or quality of songwriting; every artist here shouts, screams and hollers as if their lives depend on it, every song is perfectly crafted. But due to bad luck, lack of promotion or simply the fact that with a market flooded with choice, the competition was tough and these 45s fell through the cracks. Here those unfortunate turns of fate are redressed with a collection that compiles the forgotten alongside the famed. Ain't Gonna Hush reasserts the eminence of revered voices and proposes the coronation of a larger cast of R&B Queens.

These late 50's and early 60's female blues singers belt out R&B perfection, most of the singers obscure, most of the songs obscure but with solid chart sounds. Just a great CD set with some great music; this does not sound much like the later soul which is better known, here the connective tissue with the blues is stronger and the singers are still shouting the blues, terrific music. You have to dance to this music. These girls ain't gonna hush.  (Amazon)

VA - Los Nuggetz From Latin America, 60's Garage & Psych

 

Los Nuggetz is a collection of 1960s hyper kinetic garage, punk, pop and psychedelic music from Mexico, Spain and Latin American countries. While the inspiration for this collection has been the enduring trend and influence of American garage and psych bands from the 60s, it is our hope that this will serve as an introduction to the amazing variety of Mexican and Latin American rock from that era. This is the missing chapter in the global history of Rock & Roll. The, fuzz and fury of rock En Espanol with all the punk and pop elements that make it immediately listenable. Spanish interpretations of classic American and British songs that became popular around the world.

This is some awesome Latin vintage rock music! It's a book which has 4 CD's inside, colorful pages and notes with brief history of bands! The info. is not bi-lingual but it's still OK. It's a smorgasbord of different music styles, there are a few slow ballads but mostly the tracks are rock, punk sound, psychedelic, hard rock and surf instrumentals. Also some actual Spanish radio station intros!

VA The Duke Of Soul Volume 01 - 08 ( 2013 )

 


This series is an unfailingly satisfying statement of classic Soul Music.   Don Robey wasn’t known as an honest and trustworthy operator, but he have an extraordinary ear for music.  Robey’s vast musical empire began in 1949 and was to last for three decades.   Although his labels were based in Houston and the early recordings were made there, by the sixties Robey would utilize recording studios throughout the U.S.A.  As a result, an eclectic mix of styles without a defining sound.  Don Robey’s Houston based enterprise has been poorly represented in the re-issue market, although Bobby Bland and some of O.V. Wright’s, Joe Hinton’s, gene Chandlers material has seen the light of day. Apart from this series most of the major labels have been digitized and therefore these compilations (eight discs) are most welcome.  Enjoy this set with open ears.

VA - 60's Rare Mod Vol. 01 - 06 Underground Rhythm & Blues, Psych and Soul

 


A great collection of rare mod and pysch tracks from the mid to late 60sin this series and you get a lot of obscure tracks here as the title suggests. These Acid Jazz compilations are just awesome. Brilliant mod, freakbeat and garage sounds.  Eddie Piller and the team at Acid Jazz bring us 6 volumes of the Rare Mod' series Compiled by Damian Jones and Richard Searle, these CD's features great slabs of Underground Rhythm `n' Blues, Psych & Soul. The tracklist alone should excite.

Mod, you can't live with it, you can't live without it! - whilst this extraordinarily resilient youth culture continues to defy the natural laws of science and quietly die, unnoticed in some dingy corner of a Soho alley, it is again reborn, embraced by a new generation of British youth - the thirst for original mod iconography, history and music has never been greater, so Acid Jazz records prepare for the release Rare Mod Series… These compilation is already worth checking out even if it just for for The Creation's Beatlesque string soaked song "Life Is Just Beginning (Alternate Take)", The Artwoods "Hoochie Coochie Man", recorded in 1964 and "Hey Gyp" from The Unknown Mod Band.  Enjoy!

VA - Looking At Pictures In The Sky, The British Psychedelic Sounds Of 1968



VA - Looking At Pictures In The Sky, The British Psychedelic Sounds Of 1968 [2017] is a three CD collection re-issued with new artwork and revised track-listing. It goes without saying that 1968 doesn't have the same kind of cachet as 1967 - a year that, in musical terms, will always be indelibly associated with the Summer of Love, Sgt. Pepper and the emergence of psychedelia. But although the major players turned away from the excesses of the previous year in favor of a back-to-basics musical approach, there were arguably a greater number of psychedelic records made in 1968 than during the preceding twelve months. Vital, lysergically-inclined 45s emerged from a whole host of younger groups, with Factory, Mike Stuart Span, Fleur de Lys, ire, Barrier, Boeing Duveen, Rupert's People and numerous others all releasing singles that have long been widely regarded by psychedelic collectors as genre classics. All these and more are gathered on Looking At The Pictures In The Sky, which provide a fascinating overview of the group scene in Britain (and Ireland!) in 1968, shining a light on unreleased gems, cult classics, choice album cuts, neglected B-sides and alternative versions. As with it's 1967 equivalent Let's Go Down And Blow Our Minds The British Psychedelic Sounds Of 1967, the four-hour, 78-track anthology Looking At The Pictures In The Sky is housed in a striking clambox that contains a 44 page booklet crammed with biographical information and rare photographs of the featured acts.

This is a fantastic British compilation3 x CD clam shell box set very similar to (Let's Go Down And Blow Our Minds, The British Psychedelic Sounds Of 1967) this is basically volume two of that on the awesome grapefruit label, great tracks from the uk that where all released in 1968 52 years ago.

Oh Yes We Can Love, the History of Glam Rock

 


With 91 tracks on 5 CDs, the new compilation box set Oh Yes We Can Love, The History Of Glam Rock roams the grand history of glam rock from its early pioneers to global triumph in the early 1970s and far beyond. The visual counterpart to music is a 100-page booklet with rare single covers and a new essay by Barney Hoskins, the co-founder of the pop journalistic online archive Rock's Backpages and author of the book Glam. Bowie, Bolan and the Glitter Rock Revolution.

Glam rock combined the simplicity of rock'n'roll with the London fashion revolution of the 1960s. Simple, crisp guitar rock and catchy catchy music met with sultry theatrics, eccentric androgyny, and wonderful kitsch full of sex appeal. Even if purists locate the beginning of glam on Marc Bolan's 1971 Electric Warrior album and its end two years later, when David Bowie killed his alter ego Ziggy Stardust, glam actually goes a lot further. His roots are in the dazzling African American rock and roll heroes Little Richard and Chuck Berry and the cabaret songs of the 1930s by the British dramatist and composer Noel Coward. In addition to Bolan's "trashy" glam style and the artistically sophisticated glam of Bowie and Roxy Music, there was the "Glitter" by Gary Glitter, Slade and Suzi Quatro, which was incredibly successful commercially at the beginning of the '70s, and the dark, American glam of the New York Dolls. Superstars like Elton John, Kiss and the Rolling Stones picked up glam in the 1970s, and glam set the course in pop culture: punk, post-punk (especially Gothic), the glam punk of Hanoi Rocks and Marilyn Manson and the Brit pop from Suede and Pulp are unthinkable without him.

With a real firework of hits (glam actually sounded best in the glory of mainstream success) Oh Yes We Can Love, The History Of Glam Rock embarks on a fascinating journey through time that begins with Noel Coward and with post-glam bands like Goldfrapp ends - with many, many points in between. The elaborately designed box is equally suitable for beginners and for experts. Spot on for glam. (Amazon)

VA - After Hours The Collection, Northern Soul Masters [2011]

 


A 3 x CD collection that contains the very best Northern Soul masters from the vaults of Atlantic, Atco, Loma, Reprise and Warner Bros Records from 1965-74. This ultimate 'best of' spans the legendary After Hours series, picking the best, most funky, soulful and rare tracks to give the listener a truly authentic Northern Soul experience. Warner.

Musically - it's an embarrassment of riches - huge hauls of ultra-rare and desirable Soul 45's on legendary labels like Atlantic, Atco, Carla, Fame, Loma, Reprise, Stax and Warner Brothers. Most of the tracks are aimed squarely at the feet - upbeat dance-floor fillers that slaughtered the crowds at the 'Wigan Casino' in the early Seventies. This is joyful stuff - finger-clickers .  (Amazon)

VA - Can You Dig It? The '70s Soul Experience



The liner notes that accompany this collection note that '70s soul music has never really gotten its due. One could argue that point for days, but hubris aside, there's no denying that Can You Dig It pays serious homage to the golden years of American soul. This box set contains 6 CDs and 136 cuts, 65 of which hit the No. 1 spot on the R&B and/or pop charts. As you'd expect with a project that mines such a rich era (the CDs are compiled chronologically), it represents a who's who of stars. Among the notables: Marvin Gaye, Sly Stone, Curtis Mayfield, the Spinners, the O'Jays, the Staple Singers, James Brown, Chairmen of the Board, Laura Lee, Freda Payne, and Jean Knight. Lesser lights also get to shine, i.e., El Chicano, who deliver the salsafied hippie anthem "Tell Her She's Lovely." But let's be honest--the selling point is the hits, and from the uplifting "Ooh Child" to the sassy "Want Ads," if you grew up in the '70s (hands up), then these tracks are beloved. Sure, the hard-core fan will probably wish for more obscurities, and the exclusion of Stevie Wonder, Aretha Franklin, and George Clinton is troublesome, but anyone wanting an at-home jukebox loaded with classic R&B will certainly dig this. (Amazon)

I love this six CD box set, and I love the way it looks! Rhino has done a good job of capturing the look, sound, and feel of 70's soul music. I love how they made the outside of the box look like an old 8 track tape rack!

Lysergic Blues



LSD (Lysergic acid diethylamide) is considered an entheogen because it can catalyze intense spiritual experiences, during which users may feel they have come into contact with a greater spiritual or cosmic order. Users sometimes report out of body experiences. In 1966, Timothy Leary established the League for Spiritual Discovery with LSD as its sacrament. Stanislav Grof has written that religious and mystical experiences observed during LSD sessions appear to be phenomenologically indistinguishable from similar descriptions in the sacred scriptures of the great religions of the world and the texts of ancient civilizations.

Piccadilly Sunshine Volumes - A Compendium Of Rare Pop Curios From The British Psychedelic Era

 


VA - Piccadilly Sunshine Volumes 1 - 20, A Compendium Of Rare Pop Curios From The British Psychedelic Era [2009-2015] (20 x CD's) + Bonus CD

Serving to embrace the floral heavens of British pop, all acclaimed Piccadilly Sunshine series albums are dedicated to "British Sunshine Pop". Celebrating the obscured artifacts of illustrious noise that emerged from the Great British psychedelic era and beyond, it is the essential guide to the quintessential sound of candy-colored pop from a bygone age. This is pop music laced with a tinge of psychedelia from the very outer edges of the British psychedelia period. There's nothing even overtly "heavy" here, just that whimsical sound that seemed to emanate from Britain during this period ('65-'71), and went mostly unheard by music fans of the time. You'll occasionally come across musician's names you'll recognize, but for the most part, these groups toiled in relative obscurity. But that somehow makes their music that much more interesting for people like me who want to hear the stuff that's off the beaten path. The sound is uniformly good to great. The Piccadilly Sunshine series has 20 songs per CD, most of the performers are highly obscure, so you get 400 tracks here for your listening pleasure. (Amazon)

If you were lucky enough to obtain the two remastered box sets in 2015, (Disc 1-10 and Discs 11/20) there was a bonus disc in the first box. (Included here.)

Little Richard - The Specialty Sessions 1959-1971

 


Richard Wayne Penniman (December 5, 1932 – May 9, 2020), better known as Little Richard, was an American singer, songwriter, and musician. He was an influential figure in popular music and culture for seven decades. Nicknamed "The Innovator, The Originator, and The Architect of Rock and Roll", Penniman's most celebrated work dates from the mid-1950s, when his charismatic showmanship and dynamic music, characterized by frenetic piano playing, pounding back beat and raspy shouted vocals, laid the foundation for rock and roll. Penniman's innovative emotive vocalizations and uptempo rhythmic music also played a key role in the formation of other popular music genres, including soul and funk, respectively. He influenced numerous singers and musicians across musical genres from rock to hip hop; his music helped shape rhythm and blues for generations to come. (Wikipedia)

"The Innovator, The Originator, and The Architect of Rock and Roll", Little Richard was one of the founding fathers of rock and roll. He made his reputation with Specialty Records, although he had recorded for other record labels before that, without success. Richard signed with Specialty in 1955 and became a big star upon the release of his first Specialty single, "Tutti Frutti". He had several other hits after that, but at the height of his fame in 1957 he became a born again Christian and quit performing rock and roll. He eventually did return to rock and roll, and recorded a few more songs for Specialty in 1964. This three cd box set includes all the songs Richard recorded for Specialty, plus some alternate takes, rehearsals and demos. These are among the most important recordings from the early days of rock and roll and also among the best. (Amazon)

This 6 CD boxset of Little Richard's Specialty Session contains many outtakes of his greatest hits..for instance, Long Tall Sally has different interesting alternate versions of the outtakes. They have the the outtakes and the master tracks in there. It's interesting to hear how he sings Long tally sally in a slower version. Heeby jeebies outtakes sounded like a Demo of Tutti Frutti. You can hear how they are doing the recording sessions with some false takes. If you take this boxset, you are missing out on the vocal genius of this legend's legend. His voice is at it's best here..Raw, powerful and Rock & Roll!!

VA - Royal Memphis Soul - 1996

 


Royal Memphis Soul is a superb, 95-track box set that collects all the highlights, both well-known and obscure, from the Hi Records vaults. Hi was one of the handful of great soul labels of the early '70s, featuring such artists as Al Green, Ann Peebles, Syl Johnson and Otis Clay. Green's popularity and reputation has tended to overshadow the other artists, who were all capable of delivering material of equal power, as this set demonstrates. In addition to all the hits, there's a number of neglected gems that hardcore soul fans will treasure. Certainly, the mammoth size of this box set means that it appeals primarily to special interests, but those collectors will find this to be an invaluable addition to their collection. ( AllMusic Review by Stephen Thomas Erlewine)

VA - Trash Box ( 2004 )



The Trash Box is a 5-CD box set of mid-1960s garage rock and psychedelic rock recordings, primarily by American bands. This box set is similar to the earlier Pebbles Box (a 5-LP box set) and includes almost all of the same recordings in that box set (and in the same order), along with numerous bonus tracks at the end of each disc. Supposedly, the Trash Box collects the first five volumes of the CDs in the Pebbles series (i.e., those released by AIP Records, not to be confused with the 4 earlier CDs that were issued by ESD Records).  Overall, there are 109 tracks in the box set (excluding the introduction and ending cuts) as compared to 101 songs on the individual CDs and 72 tracks in the Pebbles Box. Although most of the recordings on the Trash Box were released at some point on one of the individual Pebbles albums, several of the songs have not appeared elsewhere in the Pebbles series. Inexplicably, one of these songs is the well-known hit "I Fought the Law (but the Law Won)" by the Bobby Fuller Four, which is also included in the Pebbles Box – in place of the much rarer "Wine Wine Wine" by Bobby Fuller that appears on Pebbles, Volume 2. (Wikipedia)

This collection isn't a lot of things! Firstly it ISN'T Pebbles, and the comprehensive notes explain exactly why it isn't Pebbles. It's a close relative of Pebbles - a first cousin rather than a brother though. It also isn't the 2004 ubik box set - it is the 2007 Hit Records box set. It is almost identical to the earlier release and very similar to the much earlier vinyl set of the same name. It isn't Pebbles volumes 1 to 5, although many of the tracks are from the Pebbles series. The compiler's notes explain how the tracks were chosen and why many favorites were left out (mainly better versions now on other compilations). It isn't a bootleg, although the tracks are taken directly from old vinyl singles without "official" sanction from the bands or the labels, so it falls into a rather grey area of legality.  So just what is it you may well ask! Well, it's a good value, well produced box set of late sixties, rather obscure, American Garage Psych, and is based on the Pebbles Series. It could be seen as an American companion to the British Rubble collection. It has been carefully remastered, according to the notes, using parts of an old radio studio! Whether or not it's the same masters as the 2004 version I have no idea. The sound quality is very variable as the tracks are dubbed directly from vinyl, and the remastering is to the compiler's personal taste. I have some of these tracks on old vinyl Pebbles albums and they sound quite different to these. As sound quality is a very subjective thing I'll just say that this CD set sounds mainly OK to me.

Garage Psychedelic Rock



In the late 1970s and 1980s, the Moxie label was famous, or infamous, for its Boulders compilations of obscure 1960s garage rock. Boulders was to Pebbles what Pebbles was to Nuggets; an even rawer, more obscure approach to unearthing 1960s garage music, in both the rarities unearthed and the fidelity and graphics of the packages.  (Richie Unterberger, All Music Guide)

The "Boulders" series it's compiled by Dave G. (R.I.P.) of Moxie records. It's a bootleg series from the first day, and all the the tracks are taken from 45's.  In the mid sixties almost every town in the states had a record label who published all these teenager music later known as garage. Most of this labels never had the copyrights for this recordings because most of the artists never make this for profit. It was just music .

Back From The Grave


Back from the Grave is a series compilation albums of 1960s garage rock released by Crypt Records. The series originally consisted of eight LP records released between 1983 and 1992. Volumes seven and eight were double albums. Starting in 1994, the series was reissued on compact disc. Due to the longer playing times offered by CDs, the first seven volumes were contained on four discs, save for a few tracks that were omitted. In addition, the eighth volume of the series was released on CD in 1994, with four tracks omitted from the vinyl version. As such, this is the only CD reissue from the series that closely corresponds to its vinyl counterpart.

Unlike many garage rock compilations, the Back From The Grave series focuses exclusively on the rawer and more aggressive side of the genre. Psychedelic rock is categorically excluded. The series also includes very few pop or folk oriented songs. As a result, the albums are primarily populated by louder songs that are characterized by fuzztone guitars, rough vocals, and are clearly influenced by groups such as Rolling Stones, Yardbirds, the early Kinks, and the Pretty Things. The lyrics and performances tended to focus on anger, lust, and cheating girlfriends, matching the often chaotic music. According to the liner notes, the songs were recorded by American groups, between 1964 and 1967.

Teenage Shutdown Vol 01-15


Teenage Shutdown! is a series of garage rock compilation albums assembled by Tim Warren of Crypt Records, best known for his Back from the Grave series.

Most of the volumes in the Teenage Shutdown! series, gravitate towards the more raw and aggressive examples of the genre, but some volumes also reflect different aspects of garage rock, such as frat rock, soul-influenced rock, as well as folk rock and psychedelic.

The series currently consists of fifteen LP's and CD's, which unlike the Back from the Grave series, are identical in both formats. The first ten installments were released in 1998 and the remainder in 1999 and 2000. The first volume Jump, Jive and Harmonize, was culled from the collection of 45-rpm singles owned by Mike Markesich (colloquially referred to as "Moptop Mike").

The series tends to follow the packaging format employed by other garage compilation series such as Pebbles and Back from the Grave: each volume includes detailed liner notes, for this series written by Mike Markesich, which include basic information about each song and group, such as origin and recording date.The information that they present reflects thorough research, including information about the circumstances of the recordings and brief biographical sketches of the groups.

The various albums in the series occasionally include photographs of groups not actually included on the track listings, sometimes even going as far as to have such bands pictured on the front sleeves. Currently, there are fifteen volumes in the series.
