Every so often, a piece of music comes along that defines a moment in popular culture history: Johann Strauss’ operetta Die Fledermaus did this in Vienna in the 1870s; Jerome Kern’s Show Boat did it for Broadway musicals of the 1920s; and the Beatles’ Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band album served this purpose for the era of psychedelic music in the 1960s. Saturday Night Fever, although hardly as prodigious an artistic achievement as those precursors, was precisely that kind of musical phenomenon for the second half of the ’70s Continue reading “VA – Saturday Night Fever: The Original Movie Sound Track (1977) {1998, MFSL, Remastered}”

VA - Twist And Shout: The Stateside Story 1962 (2013)

Stateside Records is a British records label founded in 1962 by EMI. The Top Rank label recently folded, so EMI bosses hired the Rank Organisation’s former executive Fred Exon to run the new label in direct competition with Decca’s London American imprint. Stateside dealt exclusively with imported American material; no home-grown acts were released with the Stateside moniker. Continue reading “VA – Twist And Shout: The Stateside Story 1962 (2013)”
