Bill Haley & His Comets – The Decca Years And More (1990) [5CDs, Box Set]

Bill Haley & His Comets - The Decca Years And More (1990) [5CDs, Box Set]

Any casual listener looking over this 132-track five-CD set would probably conclude that it was far more Bill Haley than they need bite off in one gulp — and they’d be right, as casual listeners. For the serious rock & roll enthusiast, as well as the hardcore Bill Haley fan, however, there’s a wealth of worthwhile material to be found here, some of which will amaze even those fans: a dozen great songs and 55 or so more that are good, and another 20 that are fascinating Continue reading “Bill Haley & His Comets – The Decca Years And More (1990) [5CDs, Box Set]”

Elvis Presley – The Complete Elvis Presley Masters (2010) [Box Set, 30CDs]

Elvis Presley - The Complete Elvis Presley Masters (2010) [Box Set, 30CDs]

Often it seems that every note Elvis Presley ever recorded has been repackaged and reissued in every conceivable combination, but there has never been a set comparable to 2010’s The Complete Elvis Presley Masters, a lavish limited 30-CD set that rounds up all 711 completed takes from Presley, including 100 relative rarities.

Fats Domino – Out Of New Orleans (1993) [Box Set]

Fats Domino - Out Of New Orleans (1993) [Box Set]

An amazing piece of work — a massive eight-CD boxed set that contains every one of Fats Domino’s 1949-1962 Imperial waxings. That’s a tremendous load of one artist, but the legacy of Domino and his partner Dave Bartholomew is so consistently innovative and infectious that it never grows tiresome for a second.

Billy Fury – A Thousand Stars: The Best of Billy Fury (2014)

Billy Fury - A Thousand Stars: The Best of Billy Fury (2014)

Billy Fury was one of the most revered performers that the UK ever produced, with an electric ont-stage persona. His unmistakable strain of Rock ‘n’ Roll resulted in no less than 27 charting UK Singles, and this compilation includes all of them, including Top-3 smashes: Halfway To Paradise, Jealousy, Like I’ve Never Been Gone and When Will You Say I Love You.

The Shadows ‎– The Early Years (Expanded Edition): Their Complete Studio Recordings 1959-1966 (1991) [2013, Reissue, Box Set]

To be fair, this six-CD set is really for completists only, since the price tag is likely to put off anyone else. But if you’ve been hooked on the beautiful guitar work of Hank Marvin and the surprisingly muscularity of the band, delving deeper is a very good idea. Not only do you get all the big hits — like “Apache,” “F.B.I.,” and “The Rise and Fall of Flingel Bunt” (or even the wonderfully named “I Wish I Could Shimmy Like My Sister Arthur”) — you get literally everything.

The Rolling Stones – Discography (1964 – 2017)

The Rolling Stones - Discography (1964 - 2017)

By the time the Rolling Stones began calling themselves the World’s Greatest Rock & Roll Band in the late ’60s, they had already staked out an impressive claim on the title. As the self-consciously dangerous alternative to the bouncy Merseybeat of the Beatles in the British Invasion, the Stones had pioneered the gritty, hard-driving blues-based rock & roll that came to define hard rock.
