The premier blues shouter of the postwar era, Big Joe Turner's roar could rattle the very foundation of any gin joint he sang within – and that's without a microphone. Turner was a resilient figure in the history of blues – he effortlessly spanned boogie-woogie, jump blues, even the first wave of rock & roll, enjoying great success in each genre.Turner, whose powerful physique certainly matched his vocal might, was a product of the swinging, wide-open Kansas City scene. Even in his teens, the big-boned Turner looked entirely mature enough to gain entry to various K.C. niteries. He ended up simultaneously tending bar and singing the blues before hooking up with boogie piano master Pete Johnson during the early '30s. Theirs was a partnership that would endure for 13 years.

For a band that scored two major hit singles in their first year as recording artists, the Electric Prunes were given precious little respect by their record label, Reprise Records; the group was allowed to perform a mere two original tunes on their debut album I Had Too Much to Dream (Last Night), and when their second, Underground, didn't sell, they became glorified session men under composer and arranger David Axelrod on Mass in F Minor. When the Prunes couldn't play Axelrod's charts to his satisfaction, they were replaced by session men, and the original bandmembers weren't even invited to participate on two "Electric Prunes" albums later released by Reprise, Release of an Oath and Just Good Old Rock and Roll.

Billy J. Kramer & the Dakotas, live in session, London, 1965-1967. Billy J Kramer (and The Dakotas) sessions for Brain Matthew and the BBC tells a classic story of how music evolved throughout its halcyon decade. From the relative innocence of "Irresistible You" in late 1964 to 1967's "Poor Loser" and whimsical fancy of "Town Of Tuxley Toymaker", it highlights the rapidly changing face of beat and pop music at the time and also displays the ability of an artist to remain relevant in the bid to survive in that "industry of human happiness". London Calling presents Billy J. Kramer and The Dakotas, live in session from London 1965-1967. Professionally re-mastered original broadcast recordings; includes interviews. Includes an eight-page booklet with background liners and period photos. Double-CD packed into a six-panel digipack.

Change the World is an EP by English singer-songwriter Ringo Starr. The album was released on 24 September 2021 by Universal Music Enterprises. Change The World, recorded at Ringo's Roccabella West, includes "Let's Change The World" (Joseph Williams/Steve Lukather) that delivers a welcome dose of hope and optimism, the reggae-infused "Just That Way" (Ringo Starr/Bruce Sugar,) the Country-esque "Coming Undone," Starr's first collaboration with Linda Perry who wrote and plays on the track (also with Trombone Shorty,) and Ringo rocks his version of "Rock Around The Clock" revved up by the unmistakable Joe Walsh on guitar.

La tirade est connue mais résume bien la situation : l’Amérique a eu plus de quarante présidents, mais un seul roi ! Né le 8 janvier 1935 à Tupelo dans le Mississippi, Elvis Aaron Presley ne passa que 42 années sur terre mais son influence sur la musique, sur la culture et sur la nation américaine ne se mesure pas vraiment. Une aura qui dépassera la personnification même de l’idiome rock. Voix, musique, gestuelle provocatrice et look : tout est là pour polir chaque recoin de l'icône Presley, d’abord idole des adolescents en quête de rébellion et qui deviendra une idole tout simplement mondialement populaire. Le King est le premier à associer rock’n’roll et attitude. A Memphis, dans les studios Sun du grand producteur Sam Philips naitra cet alliage musical inédit de rhythm’n’blues, de country, de hillbilly, de gospel, de blues, de bluegrass et d’énergie sauvage.

Having done complete singles collections on such great 60s singles bands as Jan & Dean, Gary Lewis & the Playboys and Jay & the Americans to rapturous applause from the collector community, we knew which group they were hungry for next it had to be Paul Revere & the Raiders! And, with all due respect to those previous collections, we think this one might the best set yet! Once again, Ed Osborne is your annotator and curator for this triple-disc collection, which features all 62 commercially-released A and B sides the band recorded for Columbia in its various incarnations (as Paul Revere & the Raiders, Paul Revere & the Raiders Featuring Mark Lindsay, the Raiders, etc.), plus their two Special Products tracks Corvair Baby and SS396 and two bonus tracks, commercial jingles for Mattell s Swingy Doll and the Pontiac Judge GTO Breakaway Commercial for GM. As with our previous collections, all singles appear in their original mono taken from original tapes (on the first two discs) and original stereo from original tapes (on the last disc), with invaluable assistance provided by Columbia vault-meister and engineer extaordinaire Bob Irwin. Copious liner notes featuring new, exclusive interviews with Raiders Paul Revere, Mark Lindsay, Phil Fang Volk, Keith Allison, Jim Harpo Valley and manager Roger Hart accompany, festooned with rare photos. It s the definitive collection from one of the great American rock bands, and remember - many of these original single versions have never appeared on CD! 66 tracks!

Such an unimaginative title for such a imaginative boxful. Across four discs and 105 songs, Cliff Richard's earliest catalog comes in for precisely the kind of treatment every rock & roll star should have: an all-encompassing study of his most important period. Even more impressively, though the song titles all sound familiar, the performances rarely are. Thirty-seven tracks are bona fide unreleased (South African 78s notwithstanding), but several dozen more are culled from scarce EP-only mixes, rarely resurfacing B-sides, and unusual mixes. One cut, an undubbed take of "Willie and the Hand Jive," was hitherto available only on a mid-'80s budget-priced single disc, covering much the same period as this. It wasn't aimed at collectors, it wasn't heavily advertised, and it probably didn't sell many copies. Of such things do completists dream, but when you have a beakful of hen's teeth to sort through, do such things really matter? Discs one through three are the conventional ones.
