K Tells Vol. 23

K Tells Vol. 23

K tells -   Name That Tune!

VA - Rebel Rouser (K-tel NU 9150 US - NC 451 CAN - NA 494 AUS - NA 494 NZ) (2022 Remastered Expanded Edition) (1976)         Rebel Rouser is an instrumental compilation album and was originally released in the US, Canada, Australia and New Zealand by K-tel in 1976. I've expanded this 2022 remastered edition to include another 13 classic bonus instrumental tracks (all in a similar vein to the tracks featured on the original album) all released before 1976, the original year of release, creating a 33 track album, with a new running time of 79:59 CD length.  ALL tracks are the 100% original versions, NO later re-recordings, 'live in concert', or fake 'stereo enhanced’ versions - only the original 7” 45 hit single mixes, with many in their original mono form.

Bert Weedon - Bert Weedon's 22 Golden Guitar Greats (Warwick Records – WW 5019 UK) (2022 Remastered Expanded Edition) (1976)          22 Golden Guitar Greats is an instrumental compilation album by British guitarist Bert Weedon released in 1976 on the Warwick label. It reached number one in the UK Albums Chart in November 1976 making Weedon the first solo guitarist to have a number one album. It kept Stevie Wonder's 'Songs in the Key of Life' at number two. The album also received both a gold disc and a platinum disc for sales.  As the original 22 track album had a pretty short running time of only 52 minutes, I decided to expand it by adding an additional 13 bonus tracks, all Bert's original smash hit singles released on the Top Rank label which were all released before 1976, the original album release date, now creating a 35 track album with a new running time of 79:32 CD length.  ALL bonus tracks are the 100% original versions, NO later re-recordings, 'live in concert', or fake 'stereo enhanced’ versions - only the original 7” 45 single mixes, all in their original mono form.

The Shadows - 20 Golden Greats (EMTV 3 UK) (2022 Remastered 45th Anniversary Mono-Stereo Versions Expanded Edition) (2CD) (1977)          20 Golden Greats is an instrumental compilation album by the British band The Shadows. It was released in 1977. The album was in UK charts for 43 weeks, where it gained the number 1 position for 6 weeks.  I think we all have fond memories of seeing this album sitting on store shelves in WHSmith, Woolworth's and Boots back in 1977!  As a celebration of 45 years since this album first hit the shelves, here is my fully remastered special expanded 2CD edition. I thought it might be interesting for the listener to compile this fantastic collection using the latest digital remasters in both mono and stereo.   CD1 contains all the original 7" mono hit single versions of the original 20 track album. CD2 contains all the stereo versions.

Enjoy!

  1. Bert Weedon! You don't hear that name every day. Maybe with good reason. Wheels is one of those tunes that once heard, it needs to be surgically removed. thank you
