Bob Dylan & Joan Baez – Voices Of A Generation (2013)

Bob Dylan & Joan Baez - Voices Of A Generation (2013)

This compilation brings together the first albums of Joan Baez and Bob Dylan. Released in 1960 and 1962 respectively and titled by their respective names, they were the first recorded statements by a pair of artists who were spokespeople for the folk and protest movement that had grown up in the late Fifties and was aligning itself with the US Civil Rights Campaign.

Jerry Lee Lewis – Mercury Smashes… And Rockin’ Sessions (2000) [10CDs, Box Set]

Jerry Lee Lewis - Mercury Smashes… And Rockin' Sessions (2000) [10CDs, Box Set]

The third installment of Bear Family’s exhaustive reissue of Jerry Lee Lewis’ complete recordings, Mercury Smashes…and Rockin’ Sessions, covers the era that many listeners, even some fans, dismiss — his late-’60s and ’70s recordings for Mercury. Conventional wisdom claims that the Killer was pretty much spent as a creative force during this time, since he had already made his near-triumphant comeback as a hard country singer on Mercury in the mid-’60s, and that he coasted on formula, except for the concentrated burst of the Roots album.

Label: Grapefruit Records | UK | Cat#: CRSEGBOX039 | Genre: Folk, Country

Notwithstanding one or two isolated exceptions, it wasn’t until the mid-Sixties that independent female voices really began to be heard within the music industry. The feminist movement naturally coincided with the first signs of genuine musical emancipation. In North America, Joan Baez and Buffy Sainte-Marie emerged through the folk clubs, coffee-houses and college campuses to inspire a generation of wannabe female singers and musicians with their strong, independent mentality and social compassion, while the British scene’s combination of folk song revival and the Beatles-led pop explosion Continue reading “VA – Milk Of The Tree: An Anthology Of Female Vocal Folk And Singer-Songwriters 1966-73 (2017) {3CD-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.

Toto – Toto IV (1982) [1994, Sony MasterSound, 24-Karat Gold Disc Remastered]

Toto - Toto IV (1982) [1994, Sony MasterSound, 24-Karat Gold Disc Remastered]

It was do or die for Toto on the group’s fourth album, and they rose to the challenge. Largely dispensing with the anonymous studio rock that had characterized their first three releases, the band worked harder on its melodies, made sure its simple lyrics treated romantic subjects, augmented Bobby Kimball’s vocals by having other group members sing, brought in ringers like Timothy B. Schmit, and slowed down the tempo to what came to be known as “power ballad” pace. Continue reading “Toto – Toto IV (1982) [1994, Sony MasterSound, 24-Karat Gold Disc Remastered]”

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

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

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.
