K-tells....

My rock 'n' roll show!

VA - 25 Rockin' & Rollin' Greats - Original Hits - Original Stars (K-tel NE 493 UK) (2022, 50th Anniversary Remastered Expanded Edition) (1972)

Originally released by K-tel in 1972, this 50th anniversary compilation is a combination of the very best song selections from the UK, Germany, US and Canadian editions, now containing a whopping 34 tracks on a 80 minute CD. All 100% original hit single 7" 45 versions, NO horrendous re-recordings or fake 'stereo' mixes here, using the very latest, highest quality, best sounding digital remasters released to date.

VA - Juke Box Jive - 40 All Time Rock 'N' Roll Greats! (K-tel NE 709 UK) (2021, 45th Anniversary Expanded Deluxe Edition) (2CD) (1976)

Like all K-tel albums released in the 70s and early 80s, this compilation has never been released on CD. Originally released by K-tel in 1976 this double album contained 40 all time rock 'n' roll greats. Since the original albums had a fairly short  running time of around 48 minutes each, 24 minutes per side, I decided to expand them to a 79 minute CD length. Adding another 25 classic rock 'n' roll songs overall, this collection now contains an astonishing 65 tracks spread across a 2CD set. All 100% original hit single 7" 45 versions, many in original mono. NO horrendous re-recordings or fake 'stereo' mixes here, using the very latest, highest quality, best sounding digital remasters released to date.

VA - Rock 'n' Roll Show - 25 Original Hits - 25 Original Stars (K-tel NE 975 UK) (2022, 45th Anniversary Remastered Expanded Edition) (1977)

Originally released by K-tel in 1977, this 45th anniversary compilation is a combination of the very best track selections taken from the UK, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Finland and Netherlands editions, now containing a whopping 34 tracks on a 79 minute CD. All 100% original hit single 7" 45 versions, many in original mono. NO horrendous re-recordings or fake 'stereo' mixes here, using the very latest, highest quality, best sounding digital remasters released to date. 

Hope you enjoy! K

  5. K-Tell has had a bad rep for years. It is great to see these updates that acknowledge the "errors" of the past. Great job and so welcome. "The music is in the grooves". Thanks.

    1. Hi lemonflag.
      Thanks for you message. K put a lot of work into collating these revised (and superior) versions of the K-tel albums so when someone recognizes that fact then it is truly appreciated.

      Cheers.
