LOUD, FAST & OUT OF CONTROL

VA - Loud, Fast & Out Of Control The Wild Sounds Of 50's Rock [1999] (4 x CD's)

The intent of the compilers is to give the 50's music the credibility and relevance it deserves. It is true that 60's and 70's music is filed in stores by artist, and with the exception of Elvis Presley, Buddy Holly, or Jerry Lee Lewis, 50's music is relegated to oldies bins.  In addition, this decade has been associated with Doo Wop, slow ballads (Earth Angel, for example) and Sock Hops. The box presents the music as it was intended: dangerous, rebellious music. To set this tone, the odd discs open with famous audio bites where religious figures, political figures were condemning rock and roll and trying to ban it. The even discs close with these. One you might remember: "Rock and Roll has got to go...We're all through playing Rock & Roll" This soundbite in an imaginative move closes the box completely at the end of disc four. If this is the compilers wish, they can breathe easier. They have accomplished their objective many times over. When one plays these tracks, excitement, and awesome energy emerges. Stagger Lee, La Bamba, and a slew of obscure tracks are deserving of repeated listenings.
The accompanying booklet is well assembled, with lots of liner notes under each track, photos of the artist, and introductory notes that defend the motive of this box. The sound quality is topnotch. But why wouldn't it be with restoration wizard Bill Inglot at the helm. Force fade-outs that were applied to these tracks over the years are gone, so the songs have sharp cold drop offs as was intended. The only beefs one can find, is some songs were left off seemingly due to the fact they don't fit the title of the set (Loud, Fast, and Out of Control). However, Fats Domino's My Blue Heaven, and the Everly Brothers' Wake Up Little Suzie, sound tame when compared with Elvis Presley's Hound Dog which wasn't included. Also, the set does cheat a little bit with Buddy Holly's Brown-Eyed Handsome Man. This song was released posthumously in 1963 on the overdubbed album Reminiscing. Their the Fireballs overdubbed instruments to give it a full studio and stereo sound. The stripped down original with Jerry Allison's drumming now audible was not released until the 1980's on the CD For The First Time Anywhere. Yet, it's on this. Other than these two flaws, the set wonderful and deserves to be put next to the Nuggets box set (Amazon)
