Jazz recording tended to follow an all too specific format in post-war America. Specialist independents would record the music up until a level of success was achieved when the majors would move in and steal the stars away. The new independents that grew up recording R&B may have dabbled in jazz from time to time, but rarely more than that. In this way, as in so many others, Atlantic bucked the trend. Perhaps it was the fact that the Ertegun brothers were avowed jazz collectors, or perhaps it was some European sense of the need to record high culture. Whatever, through Nesuhi Ertegun's careful A&R and art direction, Atlantic extended itself beyond R&B into the jazz world with both skill and aplomb, becoming one of the most important players in an increasingly crowded market. The artists who made important records for the label speak of the success of the jazz series, starting with the Modern Jazz Quartet and Charles Mingus in the 50s, the label recorded important albums by John Coltrane, Ornette Coleman, Roland Kirk, Freddie Hubbard and a host of others. In the 60s the label recorded a more soulful selection of artists as soul jazz became popular. These records and their 1970s fusion offspring are now highly sought after by soul/funk collectors the world over, and Vibrafinger provides you with the first instalment from that particular area of the Atlantic vaults.

Released in October 1984 ‘Native Sons’ was the debut album by American band the Long Ryders. Musically, the album fuses 1960s style garage rock and folk rock with country rock. Rolling Stone’s David Fricke described ‘Native Sons’ as an album
“where Nashville, ’77 London and the mid-60s Sunset Strip converge in songs of pioneer aspiration and outlaw bonding.”
This new 3CD edition compiled in conjunction with founding member Sid Griffin contains the original album alongside a raft of demos and a live recording from 1985. Described at the time by Melody Maker as a “Modern American Classic” this version brings together all the tracks that defined the start of Alt Country with a new package containing sleeve notes by Anthony DeCurtis and design by Phil Smee.
