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.

Bob Seger – Discography (1969-2006)

Bob Seger - Discography (1969-2006)

Originally a hard-driving rocker in the vein of fellow Michigan garage rockers the Rationals and Mitch Ryder, Bob Seger developed into one of the most popular heartland rockers over the course of the ’70s. Combining the driving charge of Ryder’s Detroit Wheels with Stonesy garage rock and devotion to hard-edged soul and R&B, he crafted a distinctively American sound. While he never attained the critical respect of his contemporary Bruce Springsteen, Seger did develop a dedicated following through constant touring with his Silver Bullet Band.

The real breakthrough, as Brian Wilson asserts himself in the studio as both songwriter and arranger on a set of material that was much stronger than Surfin’ Safari.

Little Richard - King of Rock and Roll: The Complete Reprise Recordings (2004) [3CD-Set]

Little Richard was not the only original rock & roller to attempt a comeback in the late ’60s and early ’70s, but he may have been the one to take the greatest musical risks. Fats Domino merely updated his sound (albeit in a charming fashion), Jerry Lee Lewis refashioned himself as a hardcore country singer, and Chuck Berry pandered with “My Ding-A-Ling,” but Little Richard pushed himself on his three albums for Reprise, all of which were collected — along with his contributions to Quincy Jones’ 1972 Dollar$ soundtrack album, non-LP singles, session outtakes, and a complete unreleased Continue reading “Little Richard – King of Rock and Roll: The Complete Reprise Recordings (2004) [3CD-Set]”
