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

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.

Rickie Lee Jones – The Sermon On Exposition Boulevard (2007) [Limited Edition, Hi-Res SACD Rip]

Rickie Lee Jones - The Sermon On Exposition Boulevard (2007) [Limited Edition, Hi-Res SACD Rip]

Consulting theologians and Bible scholars during the 1990s, photographer, writer, graphic artist, and everyday mystic Lee Cantelon (aka Pennyhead) assembled a small book presenting the words of Jesus Christ (just Jesus’ words, not the stuff surrounding them) in a fitting translation called The Words. He did it for the purpose of presenting those words to people who were not “religious” — people who were put off by organized religion or even offended by it.

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.

Tom Petty And The Heartbreakers - Damn the Torpedoes (1979) [1991, MFSL Remastered]

Not long after You’re Gonna Get It, Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers’ label, Shelter, was sold to MCA Records. Petty struggled to free himself from the major label, eventually sending himself into bankruptcy.

Rickie Lee Jones - Pirates (1981) [2009, MFSL Remastered, CD-Layer + Hi-Res SACD Rip]

Pirates is the second album by Chicago-born singer, songwriter, and musician Rickie Lee Jones, released in July 1981, two years after her eponymous debut Rickie Lee Jones. The album is partially an account of her break-up with fellow musician Tom Waits after the success of her debut album. The cover is a 1976-copyrighted photo by Brassaï.

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.
