ROCKABILLY

VA - Rare Fifties Boston Rockabilly - Vol 1- 3 [1995] (3 x CDs)

The Rare Fifties Boston Rockabilly series, volumes 1 through 3, is a wild, unvarnished ride through one of the most overlooked corners of American rock history. Released by Eagle Records in the mid-1990s, these compilations dig deep into the Boston-area rockabilly scene from the late 1950s, unearthing acetates, regional singles, and demo recordings that never made it past local airwaves or high school gym stages. And that’s exactly what makes them so compelling.

This isn’t slick, Nashville-polished rockabilly. It’s raw, scrappy, and full of attitude, the kind of stuff that was cut in tiny studios and pressed in batches of 500, if that. You’ll hear names like Bob Silva and the Silva-Tones, Joe Therrien Jr. and the Sully Trio, Ricky Coyne, The Satellites, and Miles Connor, many of whom never got national distribution but were tearing it up in Boston’s dance halls and teen clubs.

Each volume is packed, we’re talking 30+ tracks per disc, and the sound ranges from primitive rock ’n’ roll to frantic hillbilly stompers. There’s a ton of personality in these recordings, fuzzed-out guitars, slapback echo, and vocals that swing between croon and snarl. Even the novelty tracks and covers have a kind of regional charm that makes them feel alive.

What ties the series together is its archival spirit. These are rescues, preserving a scene that was vibrant but undocumented. For collectors, it’s a goldmine of private press rarities and label obscurities. For fans of early rockabilly, it’s a reminder that the genre wasn’t just happening in Memphis or L.A.,Boston had its own thing going, and it was loud, proud, and totally unfiltered. (B)

VA - Non-Album Singles - 50's, 60's, 70's, 80's, 90'+ (A Butterboy Compilation) (11 x CDs) 

NON-ALBUM SINGLES Many artists put previously unreleased, non-album cuts on their singles. They were often hidden as B-Side's or simply as a standalone single and as amazing as it may seem, these singles simply didn't appear on any of the artists original albums. Whilst these never found their way to an album, some of these songs would eventually appear in compilations, reissues or reissues with bonus material and box sets anthologies. At the time, if you wanted that song, you had to buy the single. At times these B-sides songs were bigger than any of the singles released from an album.

I always find non-album tracks interesting, some are amazing and some not so. With today’s album reissues many artists include B-Side singles and unreleased material to offer a historic perspective to their albums. (and if I wanted to be cynical I could say, sometimes adding more songs just to entice someone to buy a copy which wouldn’t normally not get the exposure). For me, it’s about finding a hidden gem which is often thrilling and rewarding.

What I present here are songs that were not on an artist’s first released albums and was released around the same time of the identified track. They were mostly B-Sides of singles however may also include unreleased material and the occasional A-Side that was not included on an original album release or great songs that were originally released only on a greatest hits album. I don’t believe I have included any single only bands. Which could another interesting compilation.

As usual you get 50's 60's, 70', 80's and 90's with a few more modern inclusions. In total there 276 songs over 11 track lists to Enjoy!

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. There 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)
