German compilation features all the T. Rex A-sides released between 1972 & 1978 on disc one & 28 B-sides on disc two, 16 page colour booklet. First, full disclosure is necessary as to what's missing. Ready? On this glorious double-CD collection, there isn't one track from T. Rex's Electric Warrior. That's right, "Bang a Gong," "Mambo Sun," and "Jeepster" are all absent. Why? Simple: it appears Warner is recalcitrant to license that wondrous album to anyone in any form. It turns out that this is simply a small complaint because none of the tracks from Electric Warrior should be separated from its full corpus anyway – it is an album in the purest and more literal sense of the world. Getting to what is here, listeners do get tracks from that beautiful slab The Slider as well as Tanx, Light of Love , Bolan's Zip Gun, Dandy in the Underworld, Futuristic Dragon, and a slew of 45s never issued on LP.
This unique compilation presents the As and B-sides of Johnny Cash's first sixteen singles for Columbia Records, after joining the label from Sun, during the Summer of 1958.
Longtime fans of venerated progressive rock ensemble Uriah Heep will be rattling cages for this two-disc, 43-track collection of singles from Sanctuary. Hard rocking Heep standards like "Look at Yourself," "Gypsy," "Stealin'," and "The Wizard" (most of which are presented in their 45 rpm versions) are paired with copious amounts of B-sides, resulting in the next step in collector evolution from 1998's Mercury released Classic Heep: An Anthology.
'Just One Mo' Time' is Jasmine's second volume of classic recordings by the Isley Brothers. The first release back in 2010 was 'You Make Me Want To Shout' (JASCD561) which contained 23 recordings from the very beginning of their career. This new set kicks off with the self-penned, 'Open Up Your Heart' and a bizarre, but fun, doo wop styled rendition of Victor Herbert's 'Gypsy Love Song' from his operetta 'The Fortune Teller'. The song is also well known via Mario Lanza.
For the first time on one 2CD set both sides of all Little Richard's important single releases recorded between 1956 and 1957. Includes several of Rock & Roll's most iconic recordings and undeniable classics such as "Tutti Frutti", "Long Tall Sally", "Lucille" and many more. This is the perfect presentation for one of Rock & Roll's greatest artists and his greatest hits. With detailed sleeve notes incorporating.
This great value 61-track 2-CD set comprises the A and B side of every single she released on RCA from her 1953 debut as part of The Davis Sisters and then as a solo artist through to the end of 1962, plus seven bonus tracks selected from her two solo albums from the period “I’ll Sing You A Song And Harmonise Too” and “Here’s The Answer”, the latter trading on her success with “answer” records like her debut solo hit “Lost To A Geisha Girl”, and the Top 5 hits “(I Can't Help You) I'm Falling Too”, and “My Last Date With You”.
This double-CD set isn't a substitute for the four-CD box from Big Beat, but it does provide a slightly leaner and less-expensive way of running through the band's history. It's difficult to believe that a group whose recording history lasted just a little more than three full years could account for the 22 single A- and B-sides on disc one of this set, but that was the pace of the business in those days, and it wasn't unheard of for a band to get four or five singles out in a year…
One has a tendency to think of acts like the Pretty Things in terms of their albums, primarily because most of their singles simply never charted, even in England (and many were never even heard of in the United States), and the albums have been easier to find over the decades since. Actually, it was singles that best defined what most bands were about at the point that the Pretty Things first got together, and they never stopped neglecting that category of release – hence, this three-CD set containing the product of 33 singles (66 sides) over a period of 35 years, from 1964 through 1999.
