Big Joe Turner - All The Classic Hits 1938-1952 (2003) [5CDs Box set]

Classic Hits 1938-52 is a five-disc, 123-track collection of Big Joe Turner’s earliest recording sessions before finding stardom with his mid-’50s R&B sides. While this JSP set isn’t extravagant, it’s a luxury to have Turner’s sides for National, Aladdin, Freedom, MGM, and Imperial remastered and together in one collection.

Wanda Jackson – Right Or Wrong (1992) [4CDs Box Set]

Wanda Jackson - Right Or Wrong (1992) [4CDs Box Set]

This four-CD set is like a photo album of Wanda Jackson growing up, from innocent adolescent to rockabilly star and the dominant female country singer of the early 1960s. Her complete recordings from the first Decca session in March 1954 until her Capitol session of November 2, 1962, constitute the part of her career that rock & roll and rockabilly fans most care about.

The Andrews Sisters – The Golden Age Of The Andrews Sisters (2002) [4CDs Box set]

The Andrews Sisters - The Golden Age Of The Andrews Sisters (2002) [4CDs Box set]

Since the 50-year limit on copyrights in Europe has led to a flurry of Andrews Sisters releases beginning in the early ’90s, it’s worth pointing out that the British Jasmine label is not just another fly-by-night outfit cobbling together a bunch of old 78s. The four-disc Golden Age of the Andrews Sisters, with a running time of more than four-and-three-quarters hours, contains more tracks — 101 — than any previously released Andrews Sisters compilation. Continue reading “The Andrews Sisters – The Golden Age Of The Andrews Sisters (2002) [4CDs Box set]”

Buddy Holly – Not Fade Away: The Complete Studio Recordings And More (2009) [6CDs Box Set]

Buddy Holly - Not Fade Away: The Complete Studio Recordings And More (2009) [6CDs Box Set]

In 1979, The Complete Buddy Holly gathered up all known Buddy Holly recordings in a six-LP box set, setting the standard for archival rock & roll reissues in the pre-CD era. Perhaps if this box never existed, the wait for a CD incarnation of Holly’s complete recordings wouldn’t have seemed quite so long, but chances are it would: as the CD revolution waned in the early days of the new millennium, every one of his peers saw their work boxed up in complete sets, leaving Buddy to the bootleggers Continue reading “Buddy Holly – Not Fade Away: The Complete Studio Recordings And More (2009) [6CDs Box Set]”

Joe Bonamassa – Muddy Wolf At Red Rocks (2015)

Joe Bonamassa - Muddy Wolf At Red Rocks (2015)

Joe Bonamassa designed his Red Rocks tribute concert to Muddy Waters and Howlin’ Wolf as a fund-raiser for his Keeping the Blues Alive foundation, so it makes sense that the accompanying live album begins with a capsule history of the Mississippi Delta blues, and also has interview excerpts from Waters and Wolf peppered throughout.

Tears For Fears – Gold (2006)

Tears For Fears - Gold (2006)

Hip-O’s excellent two-disc Tears for Fears Gold collection boasts 24 tracks from the veteran English duo. All of the obvious hits (“Shout,” “Everybody Wants to Rule the World,” “Head Over Heels,” “Mad World,” and “Sowing the Seeds of Love”) are here, but it’s the inclusion of tracks from their woefully overlooked 2004 comeback album, Everybody Loves a Happy Ending, that warrants a high rating.
