-Titulo Original : Audio CD - COMPLETE SINGLES AS & BS 1953-61 - Reed, Jimmy-Fabricante : Acrobat-Descripcion Original: Jimmy Reed was a hugely influential figure of the blues and R&B scene during the 1950s and early 60s, not only for the fact that he brought his distinctive style of electric blues to mainstream audiences, but also because in the process he inspired many aspiring talents on both sides of the Atlantic, notably The Rolling Stones, Eric Clapton, Jerry Garcia, Stevie Ray Vaughan and Van Morrison, who all recorded versions of various Jimmy Reed R&B hits. He came to prominence in the early 50s when he was one of the first artists to sign to VeeJay, and over the years scored around twenty Top 20 R&B hits, with a dozen or more pop chart entries as well, underlining his importance as a crossover artist.

-Titulo Original : Audio CD - COLLECTION 1940-53 - Wakely, Jimmy-Fabricante : Acrobat-Descripcion Original: Jimmy Wakely was one of the last of the singing cowboys, personalities who combined their appearances in western movies with recording country and western records and appearing on radio and TV on shows like the Grand Ole Opry. His career in both media started in the late 30s, introduced to the big-time by Gene Autry and from 1939 to 59 he appeared in around 60 films. He was equally prolific on record, making his first records for Decca in the early 40s, and having moved to Capitol in the Mid-40s recording for them through into the 60s. This great-value 84-track 3-CD set comprises selected A & B sides from the most successful era of his career, which encompassed all his fifteen country and pop hits as a solo artists and also the nine pop and country hits he had recording duets with the pop artist Margaret Whiting at the start of the 1950s, all of which made the Top 10 - we feature at least one side from the majority of his releases during these years. His thirteen Top 10 country hits featured here include the No. 1s One Has My Name (The Other Has My Heart), I Love You So Much It Hurts as well as his No. 1 with Margaret Whiting Slippin Around.

-Titulo Original : Audio CD - AMERICAS GREATEST HITS 1943 / VARIOUS - VARIOUS ARTISTS-Fabricante : Acrobat-Descripcion Original: We continue our popular and successful series devoted to the biggest chart records of each calendar year in the early chart era as we focus on 1943, the third full calendar year of the Billboard Best Sellers chart - the chart was launched in July 1940. This great value 98-track 4-CD set comprises almost every record which appeared in the Top 20 during the year - specifically it features the records which appeared in the Top 10 published in Billboard, plus those which are listed as having reached No. 11-20 in Joel Whitburns well-known chart publications, which were based on analysis of regional charts. For reasons of space, it excludes those records which entered the Top 10 in 1942, and so are included in our existing 1942 collection, and also excludes a few titles for which mastering sources could not be found. One feature of this year was that the American Federation of Musicians recording ban had come into force, and so there were a number of big hits which were performed a cappella, including some by Frank Sinatra and Dick Haymes. In addition, the big names of the swing era were still very much in evidence, and among the big long-lasting No. 1s of the year were Ive Heard That Song Before by Harry James & Helen Forrest, Sunday Monday Or Always by Bing Crosby and Paper Doll by the Mills Brothers. In between, a host of other big names made their presence felt - Jimmy and Tommy Dorsey, Benny Goodman, Judy Garland, Duke Ellington, Dinah Shore and others - alongside many highly collectable lesser-known records by some artists we dont hear too much about these days. It makes for an intriguing and very entertaining musical snapshot of a year when the USA was fully embroiled in WWII and there were plenty of patriotic and sentimental wartime hits to give a period flavour, with prolific hitmaker Glenn Miller epitomising that particular strand. It includes a 12,000 word booklet with a commentary on every record as well as full discographical and chart information...

Scruggs is famous for developing the three-finger style of banjo picking, elevating its status from being a background accompanying instrument to a featured solo role. Both Flatt and Scruggs had been members of Bill Monroes ground-breaking band during the 1940s, resigning from that outfit in 1948 due to its punishing touring schedule, and forming their own band The Foggy Mountain Boys, themselves becoming one of the best known and longest-established bluegrass bands of all time. This great-value 56-track 2-CD set comprises selected A and B sides of their singles on the Mercury and Columbia labels during what is generally regarded as one of their classic eras of recording. It features their eight US pop and country hits during these years, including the country No. 1 The Ballad Of Jed Clampett, and the Top 10 country hits Tis Sweet To Be Remembered, Cabin In The Hills and Go Home. Among the noted band members featured here are mandolin player Curly Seckler and fiddle player Paul Warren. Including vocal and instrumental performances, and with original songs alongside compositions by other writers, and examples of the classic bluegrass breakdown style, its a feast of top-class and archetypal bluegrass music by two of its most illustrious representatives...

She enjoyed a career that spanned more than four decades, performing and recording into the 1990s, but this set focuses on the early years of her career as she established her reputation and laid the groundwork for her prolific album output through the late 50s and early 60s.

Vera Lynn, one of the most iconic and inspiring artists of the 20th century died in June 2020 at the age of 103, just a month after the 75th anniversary of VE Day, which marked the end of WWII in Europe, a conflict in which her songs, like Well Meet Again and (Therell Be Bluebirds Over) The White Cliffs Of Dover were emblematic of the sentiments of the time, and her role in the war remained a key aspect of her musical and historical legacy. However, she was also a fine and versatile performer and interpreter of the popular songs of her era, who had a significant number of hits in the pop chart on both sides of the Atlantic, including the US No. 1 Auf Wiedersehn Sweetheart and the UK No. 1 My Son, My Son. This great-value 144-track 6-CD set comprises selected A and B sides from her UK and US releases on the Crown, Decca, London, MGM and HMV labels during the first quarter-century of her career, with a significant proportion of those releases represented by at least one of the sides.

Its a substantial memento of an artist whose significance transcends simply the world of popular music, but who deserves to be remembered also as a performer who was up there with the very best of her contemporaries...

This collection celebrates a notable chart event of January 1962, namely when Chubby Checkers record The Twist topped the US pop charts for the second time, signalling the approaching peak of the worldwide Twist dance craze he had first made No.1 well over a year earlier, in September 1960, since which time the dance had started to catch on all round the world.

With his imposing physical presence and loud, almost fearsome voice, he was a powerful and impressive performer, who wrote and popularised songs which have become classic standards of the genre, like Spoonful, Smokestack Lightning, Killing Floor and Red Rooster, which became fixtures in the repertoire of bands like The Rolling Stones, who very much championed his cause and widened his reputation in the latter years of his career. This collection brings together both sides of all the singles he released through the RPM and Chess labels during the first hugely important decade of his career, along with bonus tracks comprising recordings made at sessions during this period which were not released as singles at the time.

-Titulo Original : Audio CD - HITS COLLECTION 1943-62 - Como, Perry-Fabricante : Acrobat-Descripcion Original: Along with Frank Sinatra, Perry Como was one of the most prolific hit-makers among the illustrious elite of star crooners in the immediate post-war decades, racking up an astonishing succession of hits through into the rock n roll era and defying the cataclysmic changes in the pop landscape that the new music wrought. His continuous visibility and huge popularity on radio and TV ensured that he was constantly in the public eye and his records, which encompassed romantic ballads, up-tempo novelty songs and middle-of-the-road pop and in later years even flirted with rock flavoured material, gave him a regular chart presence. This excellent-value 126-track 5-CD collection comprises all his Billboard and UK chart hits from this era, including duets with The Fontane Sisters, Jaye P. Morgan, Eddie Fisher, Helen Carroll and Betty Hutton, plus a few bonus tracks which only made the Cash Box charts.

-Titulo Original : Audio CD - COLLECTION 1956-62 - Hunter, Tab-Fabricante : Acrobat-Descripcion Original: Tab Hunter was a heartthrob Hollywood star before he was a singer, being plucked from obscurity by actor Dick Clayton who met him when he was working in a stable in California. His blond hair and clean good looks gave him a ready appeal to young fans, making his first film in 1950 and eventually signing to Warner Bros. where he was hugely successful, as he starred with Natalie Wood in two box office hits. Randy Wood of Dot Records asked him to record a version of Sonny James country hit Young Love, and he had a No. 1 on both sides of the Atlantic. He had three more chart entries for Dot before Warner Bros insisted he record for them and set up their own label. This great-value 61-track 2-CD set comprises most of the A and B sides he recorded for Dot and Warner Bros during these core years of his recording career, along with the titles from his Warner Bros albums Tab Hunter, When I Fall In Love and R.F.D. Tab Hunter. It features all his career chart entries, including the US and UK No. 1 Young Love, and the UK Top 5 hit Ninety-Nine Ways. His foray into pop music did not last long into the 1960s, and he was soon focusing again on screen roles, starring in a number of beach movies. However, his hits of the late 50s remain an evocative touchstone for baby boomers who lived through those times, and this collection provides not only a substantial slice of his recorded work, but a fascinating window into the creative and commercial world of a teen idol largely created by Tin Pan Alley who found a voice of his own...

-Titulo Original : Audio CD - THE WAYWARD WIND THE ESSENTIAL COLLECTION 1955-61 - Gogi Grant-Fabricante : Acrobat-Descripcion Original: This great-value 53-track 2-CD set comprises most of her A & B sides. The daughter of Russian immigrant parents in Philadelphia, she moved with her family to Los Angeles and came to the fore through TV talent shows, leading to a contract with RCA-Victor - RCAs Dave Kapp gave her the name Gogi, which was the name of his favourite restaurant.

Although her success came after rock n roll had made its impact on the pop market, her style was perhaps more of an earlier time, and in offering a selective overview of her output during what was the main period of her career, this collection provides a showcase for a talent who was very much of her era and has probably not had the attention she merits...

-Titulo Original : Audio CD - HELP ME MAKE IT THROUGH THE NIGHT - SMITH,SAMMI-Fabricante : Acrobat-Descripcion Original: Sammi Smith, who died in February of this year, had an exemplary reputation in the Country music world despite having been in semi-retirement for many years. After some regional success she became a resident of Nashville in the early 70s where she gained a reputation as a singer who was not going to compromise her integrity for the Nashville method of attaining stardom. This attitude brought into the circle of performers then known as Outlaws where she befriended those artists at the forefront of the movement like, Kris Kristofferson, Willie Nelson and Waylon Jennings. She was signed to the tiny Nashville based label, Mega that had been formed as a Tax write off and the last thing they wanted was a hit. Ironically Kristofferson gave her his latest song Help Me Make It through The Night which became not only a Country Number One but also a pop top ten hit too. The song was not though an international hit for her that honour went of course to Gladys Knight and the Pips, who recorded it as an album track as did countless other artists in the wake of Sammis hit version. This CD contains the original Help Me Make It Through The Night LP plus a selection of her other Mega label singles and album tracks. The illustrated booklet includes Sammis full story and details of her chart achievements. We are expecting the support of the Country Music community which is getting rather strong over here in good old blighty so watch out for plays on Radio Two and the country specialists...

His orchestras music, always featuring a variety of resident vocalists, most notably Sully Mason, Harry Babbit, Ginny Simms and Georgia Carroll, as well as saxophonist Jack Martin, stayed firmly in the middle ground of easy-listening popular taste, and did not try to compete with the hot swing orchestras of the era, with a style which barely changed while the fashions of jazz and other areas of pop evolved around him, including sentimental or patriotic wartime hits, novelty material and classic ballads.

-Titulo Original : Audio CD - COLLECTION 1944-49 - RUSSELL,ANDY-Fabricante : Acrobat-Descripcion Original: As WWII drew to a close, and in the immediate years of post-war austerity, the decline of the big bands saw a number of notable solo singers coming to the fore, with several of them being of Latin descent - Frank Sinatra, Perry Como, Don Cornell, Vic Damone and Frankie Laine all came from an Italian-American background. Andy Russell, who was of Mexican parentage and always maintained a strong Latin strand in his music, rivalled the top crooners like Como and Sinatra for popularity during the middle and later years of the 1940s before relocating to Mexico during the 1950s and returning to the US to pick up his chart career in the late 1960s.
