The Beatles...Rockin' Blues Vol.1...alternative and unreleased outtakes

This compilation was originally released as The River Rhine Tapes. I have just remixed it slightly and taken out a couple of tracks. These are mainly alternative takes, different mixes and outtakes that were not included on their official studio albums. They show the group in a more relaxed mood and what they could do when they were just jamming and having a bit of fun. If you are a Beatles fan you can pick out the differences between the official releases and these versions. Most tracks have a rock and blues feel to them hence the title. Hope you enjoy this other side of The Beatles.

Paul McCartney ... CHOBA B CCCP (Back in the USSR) The Russian Album

The Beatles were very much influenced by 1950's rock and roll, and their early work shows plenty of proof of this. They honed their musical skills playing songs from the era in their live shows and had a great respect for the artists whose music they covered. Paul McCartney in particular was a huge fan and several rock and roll tunes were included in early Beatles albums with Paul doing most of the vocals. Over the years he has included a selection in his own concerts.

"The Russian Album" was originally released in 1991 and it's where Paul pays tribute to his favourite rock and roll artists and their hit songs. It's one of those albums that will have you bopping from the opening notes and ideal for your next party.

Amazon Review - CHOBA B CCCP--that's "Back in the USSR" to you and me--is a loose and loopy bit of rock & roll nostalgia that's at least as much fun to listen to as it was to make. Originally intended as a cold-war-busting Soviet Union-only release, popular demand finally brought it to Western ears, and it's a good thing it did. McCartney was always the Beatles' best Little Richard-inspired shouter, and this album allowed him to revisit those days on covers of "Kansas City," "Lucille," "Ain't That a Shame," and "Crackin' Up," among others. Most of the tracks sound like first takes, but that's in keeping with the vintage material, which was originally recorded in much the same way. Who says they no longer make 'em like they used to? --Daniel Durchholz

John Lennon...Peace Love & Truth

John Lennon's life and music has been written about and analysed many times over. Movies and documentaries have been made along with tribute albums and concerts. I'm not going to add to that here except to say that his music, not only with The Beatles but his solo work, is timeless and endearing. There have been many compilations released over the years since his death, most of them good, and any serious collector will have at least one Lennon album in their collection.

This compilation is unique as it presents John's finest song writing moments in a showcase that highlights his important ideals regarding, as the title suggests, peace, love and truth. Several of the tracks have been remixed to give them a fresh and new sound and perspective. An essential addition to your collection.

The Beatles...Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band

What more can be said about this CLASSIC album? It usually tops any best albums of all time lists and people of all ages know about it and all the songs have been covered by numerous artists over the years. Certainly The Beatles' "masterpiece" and a definite essential for your collection.

Amazon.com

Before Sgt. Pepper, no one seriously thought of rock music as actual art. That all changed in 1967, though, when John, Paul, George and Ringo (with "A Little Help" from their friend, producer George Martin) created an undeniable work of art which remains, after 40-plus years, one of the most influential albums of all time. From Lennon's evocative word/sound pictures (the trippy "Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds," the carnival-like "Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite") and McCartney's music hall-styled "When I'm 64," to Harrison's Eastern-leaning "Within You Without You," and the avant-garde mini-suite, "A Day in the Life," Sgt. Pepper was a milestone for both '60s music and popular culture. --Billy Altman

The Beatles...Early Tapes with Tony Sheridan

There are many versions of The Beatles' early recordings available, and, yes, this is another one, but worth listening to for the beginnings of not only The Beatles, but for the Beat scene in the UK from the early sixties. A good selection of rock'n'roll and R&B covers plus The Beatles' tribute to The Shadows, the instrumental track "Cry For A Shadow".

The Early Tapes



The Great Carl Perkins..Original Sun Recordings and more (updated 06/2013)

Carl Lee Perkins (April 9, 1932 – January 19, 1998) was an American rockabilly musician who recorded most notably at Sun Records Studio in Memphis, Tennessee, beginning during 1954. His best known song is "Blue Suede Shoes".

According to Charlie Daniels, "Carl Perkins' songs personified the rockabilly era, and Carl Perkins' sound personifies the rockabilly sound more so than anybody involved in it, because he never changed." Perkins' songs were recorded by artists (and friends) as influential as Elvis Presley, The Beatles, Jimi Hendrix, and Johnny Cash, which further cemented his place in the history of popular music. Paul McCartney even claimed that “If there were no Carl Perkins, there would be no Beatles”.

I didn't know Carl Perkins existed until I read the track listing on "The Beatles For Sale" LP. "Honey Don't" and "Everybody's Trying To Be My Baby" were both penned by someone called "Perkins". After a bit of research I discovered it was Carl Perkins. I also found out he wrote "Blue Suede Shoes" which, of course, I thought was an original Elvis song. I borrowed an LP of his from someone and hey presto, Rockabilly came alive to my ears!

Called "the King of Rockabilly", he was inducted into the Rock and Roll, the Rockabilly, and the Nashville Songwriters Halls of Fame; and was a Grammy Hall of Fame Award recipient.

Elvis may have been the King, but Carl Perkins was certainly the originator. He penned and recorded "Blue Suede Shoes" before Elvis covered it, "Honey Don't" and "Matchbox" before The Beatles and...need I say more? Classic and timeless rockabilly. Carl Rocks!

This compilation is a 58 track, 3CD set which includes the original Sun recordings plus alternative takes and demos. A must for any music aficionado.
