Lou Christie - Glory River, The Buddah Years 1968-1972 [1992] + Original Sinner The Very Best Of The MGM Recordings 1966-67 [2004] + The Complete Co & Ce, Roulette Recordings [1998]

Lou Christie - Glory River, The Buddah Years 1968-1972 [1992]
With only one track from his Buddah output being a big hit in the U.S., one might think that this CD is mainly filler material and less-then-stellar tracks. Not so. Clearly an artist who matured with each new song he wrote or performed, this collection proves what a great talent Lou was/is. In addition to his mega-hit, "I'm Gonna Make You Mine", this collection compiles some of the best tracks of Mr. Christie's career, all of which were recorded for the Buddah label. Among the highlights are "She Sold Me Magic" (possibly his greatest record), "Are You Getting Any Sunshine?", the beautiful and sadly-overlooked ballad, "I'm Gonna Get Married", and the bulk of his 1971 LP, "Paint America Love". The latter is arguably one of the greatest concept albums ever produced, up there with "Pet Sounds" and "Sgt. Pepper's". If all you know from Lou is his "Lightnin' Strikes" or "Two Faces", you owe it to yourself to hear such majestic and lyrical tracks as, "Wood Child", "Lighthouse", "Paper Song" and the title track. Other gems from this CD include more overlooked singles, such as "Indian Lady", "Canterbury Road", and even some previously unreleased items. Sound quality is pretty good, though some of it sounds as though it may have come from vinyl. The main reason to find this CD is to secure the 7 or so cuts from "Paint America Love", his 1971 concept album. Some of this stuff is wonderfully orchestrated, especially the title cut, and the whole of his Buddah years were a period of little commercial success but a wonderfully arcane sense of melody and composition. Clearly more than his teeny-bopper reputation, Lou Christie's fecundities were in full bloom in these years. (Amazon)

Lou Christie - Original Sinner The Very Best Of The MGM Recordings 1966-67 [2004]

Essential for the Lou Christie fan. Has both versions of the classic "Rhapsody In The Rain" as well as all of the Herbert/Christie-written material from the MGM period. Excellent sound quality; kicks the Rhino Best Of CD to the curb. Shows that Lou could compose worthwhile album tracks, as well as great singles. "We Gotta Run Away" and "Jungle" are great tracks which can only be found here. Also, "Back Track" and Summer Snow" are excellent; they are entirely different songs from the same titles found on other CDs... Among the tracks here, are the mega-hit "Lightnin' Strikes", its excellent and controversial follow-up, "Rhapsody in the Rain" (in two versions), and the sublime, Jack Nitzsche-produced, "If My Car Could Only Talk". There are also some wonderful gems that you can't find on most other Lou CDs, that are must-haves: the wonderful "Baby, We Got to Run Away", the lyrical "Painter", and another Nitzsche-produced track, "Wild Life's in Season". Sound quality is generally excellent, with a nice mix of stereo and mono tracks. Overall, an excellent package that no real Lou fan should be without. (Amazon)

Lou Christie - The Complete Co & Ce, Roulette Recordings [1998]
Unfairly labelled as a Frankie Valli clone, Lou Christie's soaring falsetto is actually a far more pleasurable listing experience. This decent package includes all his early records from his rock and roll teen idol days including a previously unreleased studio track, Money (That's what I want). Christie and his friend and musician Twyla Herbert wrote most of this material and some of the tracks are essential rock and roll classics. Aside from the many original tracks, Lou Christie's cover of the Pentagons 'To be loved' is fantastic, although the lacklustre 'Stay' and 'Tears on my pillow' are not as memorable. I found that the best records on here were some of the least known.  To be honest I'm pretty tired of 'The Gypsy Cried and 'Two Faces Have I, purely because I've heard them millions of times, but 'You may be holding my baby' and 'There they go' are two of the best records that I've listened to on a rock and roll CD for quite some time. Christie didn't follow suit with his amazing two tone voice and opt for the typical 'Italian Doo Wop' sound, instead he was usually backed by female singers known as The Tammys, which is a neat and individual touch. Although his number one hit, Lightening Strikes is missing - due to him changing labels before releasing it - this is probably the best CD to get by Lou Christie. (Amazon)

NME PART 4

VA - The 100 Greatest Songs of NME in the 1980s [2021] (7 x CDs)

NME (New Musical Express) has been a prominent force in the British music industry since its inception on 7th March 1952. Founder Theodore Ingham created the publication as a newspaper reporting on music news, reviews, and interviews. It quickly became the go-to source for music lovers in the UK and beyond, with a focus on rock and roll and other popular genres. 

Over the years, NME has adapted to changing technologies and trends in the industry, shifting from a print magazine to a digital platform. Its website is now one of the most popular music journalism sites in the world, featuring breaking news, reviews, interviews, and more.

In March 2012, NME marked its 60th anniversary by compiling a list of the best tracks of each decade, showcasing the magazine's long history of supporting and championing influential music. The lists were a reflection of the magazine's focus on promoting new and exciting artists and sounds throughout its six decades of existence.

The selection process for the lists was extensive, with the magazine's writers weighing the influence, popularity, and impact of each track in its respective decade. The final lists were published on NME.com, and each decade featured a top 100 songs, representing a broad range of genres and styles.  Some of the standout tracks from the lists include Elvis Presley's "Heartbreak Hotel" from the 1950s, The Beatles' "A Day in the Life" from the 1960s, Joy Division's "Love Will Tear Us Apart" from the 1970s, Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit" from the 1990s, and The Strokes' "Last Nite" from the 2000s. These tracks are a testament to the magazine's role in shaping music culture and influencing generations of music lovers.

NME's influence on the British music industry and beyond cannot be overstated. Its coverage of emerging artists and new sounds has been instrumental in shaping popular culture for over six decades. As the publication continues to evolve with the times, its impact on the music world is sure to endure. 

This series will be presented in 5 Parts. 

Compiled as always using the very latest and highest quality digital remasters, with a considerable number of tracks sourced from the original master tapes for superior sound quality and enjoyment.

Charly Records Essential Sun Rockabillies series contains many of the classic tracks associated with the legendary Memphis label, but also highlights some of the more obscure songs from Sun's vast catalog. These are the original recordings from the 1950s and early 1960s, featuring some of the most influential artists of the genre, such as Elvis Presley, Carl Perkins, Jerry Lee Lewis, Roy Orbison, and Charlie Feathers. You will hear classic hits that defined the rockabilly sound, such as “Put Your Cat Clothes On”, “Red Hot”, “Ooby Dooby”, and “Bottle To The Baby”. You will also discover rare gems that showcase the diversity and creativity of rockabilly music, such as “Tennessee Zip”, “Mad Man”, “Milkshake Mademoiselle”, and “Just In Time”. These songs range from rocking to ballads, from humorous to serious, from famous to obscure.

The sound quality is excellent throughout, thanks to the remastering by Peter Rynston. The tracks are well-selected and cover a wide range of styles and moods, from the wild and frantic to the smooth and romantic. You will also enjoy the detailed liner notes by Adam Komorowski, who provides some interesting background information on each track and artist. The packaging is attractive and includes photos of the performers. This collection is a must-have for any rockabilly enthusiast or anyone who appreciates the roots of rock and roll.

This collection is also a tribute to the vision and innovation of Sam Phillips, the founder of Sun Records, who gave a voice to many talented artists who shaped the history of music. He was the first to record many of these singers and musicians, who were often unknown or rejected by other labels. He encouraged them to experiment with different sounds and genres, creating a unique musical style that influenced generations of artists.

If you want to experience the best of rockabilly music, then these 150 songs from the legendary Sun Records label released by the Charley Record will make you dance, sing, laugh, and cry. It will also make you appreciate the rich musical heritage that Sun Records has left us. (B)
