"The Clovers/Dance Party" (03/14/2006) Oldies Clovers (The), Collectables Records2 LPs on 1 CD: THE CLOVERS (1956)/DANCE PARTY (1959). The Clovers: Billy Mitchell, Matthew McQuarter, Harold Lucas, Harold Winley (vocals); Bill Harris (guitar). One of the most popular R&B vocal groups of the 1950s, the Clovers excelled with their dynamic approach to doo-wop. Formed in Washington, D.C., the ensemble, generally led by Billy Mitchell, had numerous hits throughout the '50s, including the blues-laced "Ting-a-Ling," the passionate "Don't You Know I Love You," and the dreamy "Devil or Angel," all of which are featured on this excellent 26-track disc. Capable of easily shifting between proto-rock numbers (the rollicking "Hey Miss Fanny") and jazz-tinged ballads (a gorgeous rendition of "Blue Velvet"), the Clovers were also notable for their resonant harmonies and varied arrangements, ranging from the full-band punch of the former tune to the spare framing of the latter. Consisting of two late-'50 albums, this set provides sharper focus on the ensemble than a career retrospective, making it ideal for those looking for more than just the Clovers' remarkable run of singles.

"Dance Album Of Carl Perkins [Remaster]" (04/06/2004) Oldies Perkins, Carl, Varese Sarabande (USA)Liner Note Author: Bill Dahl. Recording information: 1954 - 1957. DANCE ALBUM is one of the most important LPs in rock & roll history, and certainly among the top five rockabilly albums, as it is THE definitive recorded statement from rockabilly trailblazer Carl Perkins. It was originally released on Sun in 1958, just after Perkins mirrored Elvis Presley's path by leaving Sun for a major label, and consists of tracks Perkins recorded for Sun between '55 and '57 (his unquestionable peak). The breathless intensity of both the hits ("Blue Suede Shoes," "Boppin' the Blues," et al) and the lesser-known songs is as fervid and infectious as Elvis's own Sun sides. Like Elvis and the other early rockabilly artists, Perkins blended country, blues, and R&B for a sparkling sound full of energy, lust, and pure jubilation. Perkins's roots in country were strong; "Sure to Fall" could be a lost Ernest Tubb cut, and on "Tennessee," Perkins namechecks Tubb, Red Foley, and even Eddy Arnold. The five bonus cuts appended to this seminal album are pure breakneck rockabilly, though; there's even a furious Jerry Lee Lewis piano solo on "Put Your Cat Clothes On." DANCE ALBUM is a timeless, vital piece of American musical history.

"Quarter to Three/Twist up Calypso" (09/29/1998) Oldies Bonds, Gary U.S., Ace Records (UK)2 LPs on 1 CD: QUARTER TO THREE (1961)/TWIST UP CALYPSO (1962). Includes liner notes by Brian Walsh. All tracks have been digitally remastered. QUARTER TO THREE/TWIST UP CALYPSO compiles Gary U.S. Bonds' first two albums (dating from 1961 and 1962, respectively) on a single disc. These records are classic relics of "Animal House"-era frat-party rock and soul. Visionary producer Frank Guida used tape echo to effect maximum incomprehensibility throughout "Quarter to Three"-a technique that inspired millions of kids to try to decipher the song's possibly profane lyrics. All of which may have something to do with the popularity of the recording, though the performances of Guida's house band, the Church Street 5, and Bonds himself should not be overlooked. While not quite as demented, "New Orleans," "School is Out," and "Twist Twist Senora" employ a similar style. Elsewhere, Bonds croons a couple of heartfelt doo-wop ballads and pulls off a convincing Jackie Wilson impression ("That's All Right"). Guida forces Bonds to compete with a trilling Neapolitan mandolin on "Give Me One More Chance." A lesser singer would have been thoroughly nonplussed, but Bonds pulls it off with class.
