What’s better to start the year than a cool rock and roll magazine coming with a free CD? For the first time in his long life, that magazine came with a free CD carrying a cool label logo and, most of all, never issued or rare recordings covering 60 years of great swinging, rockin’, rollin’, boppin’ music from North to South. That CD will only come with that 44 pages magazine from France that feature a Jerry Lee Smoochy Smith’s story, a long tribute to Shelby Singleton jr done with the help of Phyllis Hill, John Broven and Richard Weize, four pages of rare record covers in full colours, a sharp presentation of Gene Vincent’s new vinyl LP “The Two Sides of Gene Vincent” issued by juke Box Magazine and much more. Don’t be afraid French is not harder to understand that downtown Chicago slang, Clinch Mountain folks speaking or Cajun “Slap Ya Mama” spicy talking. Fully illustrated that issue will enjoy everybody who digs the 50’s music but let’s talk about that CD.

The CD opens with a never issued home recording of Bobby Lollar covering Larry Donn’s classic “Honey Bun”. That’s not really a cover but more a tribute to Larry recorded when Bobby entertaining friends in 1960, somebody switched “on” a Wallensac recorder. That tape with 20 other songs is still in existence and ready to find its way on record. No alternate, no fake … a real never issued song by the “Bad Bad Boy” from Trenton (Tn). Next came a great late version of “Love Me” by Jimmy Lee Fautheree & Stephanie Starr recorded in Texas for TIMA. “Love Me” issued on “Chess” record in 1955 is a proto rockabilly cut at first with Wayne Walker. Here Jimmy Lee Fautheree show you all than time can’t fade real talent and how some young female blood can handle that Shreveport’s classic cut. Sides three and four came from The Music Highway Band, a great combo from Jackson (Tennessee, and are issued for the first time. We let you put a date on those raw rural boppin’ rock-a-billy songs titled “Rockabilly Town” and “Till We Get It Right”. After cute Stephanie Starr, came Laura Lee Perkins, a hot boppin’ girl and rockin’ legend who recorded for “Imperial” records in 1958, with a live recording from 1961. Then she was member of Tony Thomas & The Tartan and a live LP was recorded and produced by a local DJ. A hard to get piece of vinyl with a great rendition of “Old Mountain Dew’”. Last time I heard a Laura Lee Perkins’ new vintage recording was in the early 80’s when “Detour” issued two sides. Don’t miss it, that little woman is a real entertainer who know how to work right a night club crowd.

Next came an unidentified singer goin’ on “That’s All Right” with a great rural feel and lotsa guitar work before you will stomp your feet with Jaye P. Morgan “Peper Hot Baby”. That 1955 song make a deep impact on some teenagers being covered the same year by Justin Tubb and Phil Gray & The Go Boys. Something came from England with Johnny Brandon – The King of Zing – “Do You Love Me” issued on CD for the first time.

To start the second half of that CD we welcomed Louisiana’s legend Al Ferrier with a great demo titled “Annabel” recorded in the early 90’s. Next performer Dick “Two Ton” Baker brings us to Chicago with his “Chick-A-Biddy-Boogie” cut for Mercury in 1947. Obviously there was a lot of country hickx way up North to make a such cut. Dick is followed by another well know swinger Hank Penny doing “Sweet Talking Mama” recorded in 1947 with the great Zeke Turner on lead gtr. A ten year jump will bring you to the next song by The Blockbusters issued on an extremely rare EP record issued in French “Barclay” in 1959.

To close that CD are a very echoed and primitive bopper “Billy Billy Billy” and a cover of “Cranberry Blues” by a great unknown nicknamed “Wildcat Phil”. The last words are left to The Jumping Jaguars with two sides recorded in 1956 for “Decca” and written by Jack Hammer. The connection with Bill Haley’s Comets is obvious and those sides will enjoy all the dancers.

That CD came in a white plain sleeve and can’t be sold without the magazine that carries the front and back cover artwork. Those 16 sides showcase the various tastes of all the Rock and Roll Revue contributors and there’s a little bit of styles and times for everybody. So take it and git it for only 5.50 Euros.

Je viens de recevoir un paquet ????

Wouaaa ! une revue.... avec pas 1 mais 5 cd.... (le veinard que je suis !), je n'ai pas eu le temps de les écouter, ni trop le temps de lire, mais j'ai feuilleté, avec un oeil critique (j'ai bossé dans une imprimerie intégré pendant presque 15 ans).

Verdict : nickel !
Tom, votre imprimeur à un très bon copieur (du Rank Xerox à mon avis). La maquette est claire et soignée, (in design ou Quark Xpress ?) si tu veux je vais chipoter, page 4 dans l'encart additifs la ligne noire sur le texte, mais c'est vraiment pour pinailler Rock and Roll Revue infos.................. Icon_wink

, sincèrement beau boulot, bravo à toute l'équipe.

Dernière chose, bravo pour la rapidité...

Petite suggestion (concernant la page 19 et 20), vous êtes fous de vouloir qu'on découpe la revue !!!! Un petit lien Internet pour récupérer la cover (format pdf) et le tour est joué.

Invité

J'ai écouté les 5CD , GOOD !!
la revue je l'ai juste feuilleté ... (je la lirai, quand j'aurai un moment)!
Pour le Cover, je ferais une photocopie ... cela évitera de découper la page! lol

Citation :: Dernière chose, bravo pour la rapidité...

+ 1 !!! En effet, ultra rapide !
