2017/2/17 発売輸入盤レーベル:IMPORTS収録曲:It would appear that Valerie Carr has been somewhat skipped over when it comes to CD reissues and she's often referred to as a one hit wonder. However this new CD from Jasmine proves that she was a very good song stylist and was perhaps a little underrated. Features her two LPs "Song Stylist Extraordinaire" and "Ev'ry Hour, Ev'ry Day of My Life" and on both Valerie delivers classy interpretations of such numbers as "Try a Little Tenderness", "In The Wee Small Hours of the Morning", "I'll Be Around", "Why I Was Born" and "Come Rain or Come Shine". It seems that Valerie Carr had a fairly short and mysterious career of which there doesn't seem to be much information. One thing is for sure though, she was a talented singer and this CD is well worth a listen for fans of R&B. 【輸入盤CD】Valerie Carr / Song Stylist Extraordinaire/Ev'ry Hour Ev'ry Day 【K2017/2/17発売】 2,390 ~

2017/2/17 発売UK盤レーベル:IMPORTS収録曲:The concept of a 'family sing song' may nowadays seem positively antique - but in the pre-rock 'n' roll, pre-TV early 1950s, gathering together and belting out a ditty or two was a regular weekend occurrence for any family with a piano or record player in their parlour. Sing-a-long medleys were guaranteed to shift shellac and vinyl. And few who recorded such things sold more records than the Big Ben Banjo Band, a group of seasoned studio musicians brought together by one of the leading UK record producers of the 50s and early 60s - Norrie Paramor. Some of the leading studio men of the day appeared on BBBB sessions, including guitarists Billy Bell, Judd Proctor and Bert Weedon and trombonist George Chisholm. The BBBB was a regular fixture in the UK charts until rock 'n' roll took hold - particularly around Christmas time, when parties were in full swing. Even after it did, their albums and EPs were in great demand throughout the 60s and well into the 1970s. 【輸入盤CD】Big Ben Banjo Band / Strummin On The Old Banjo【K2017/2/17発売】 2,390 ~

2016/7/15 発売輸入盤レーベル:IMPORTS収録曲:EU-only collection. For many of us, the late 1950s to early ‘60s was the golden age of the single. We heard great records on the radio and rushed out to our local shop to buy it, pocket money or wages clutched in our sweaty little hands. What a wonderful feeling it was if we found that the b-side was also great. Presented here is a small selection of hits that had great flipsides together with some 45s that should have made the charts. Includes Guy Mitchell's "Crazy with Love", The Kalin Twins "Three O'Clock Thrill", The Moonglows excellent 45 "I knew From the Start/Over and Over Again" which was the only single the group released in the UK. 【輸入盤CD】VA / Great Double Sided Singles: Great A Sides With 【K2016/7/15発売】 2,790 ~

2016/7/15 発売UK盤レーベル:IMPORTS収録曲:2-CD collection. Eileen Rodgers might be called The Star Who Never Was. She burst on the national scene in 1955 with a long string of singles and acclaimed musical comedy performances on the stage, but in seven quick years her recording career was over. This excellent issue by Jasmine is a complete collection of her singles. Many of these singles have not been heard since their original release, the collection also includes highlights from her acclaimed cast recordings in Fiorello, Tenderloin and Anything Goes. Includes the hits, "Give Me", "The Wall", "Treasure of Your Love" and of course her biggest hit "Miracle of Love". Eileen Rodgers never became the superstar she should have been, but her distinctive sound continues to attract new listeners, and her fans have steadily increased through the years and hopefully she will never be forgotten. 【輸入盤CD】Eileen Rodgers / Miracle Of Love: Complete Singles【K2016/7/15発売】 3,090 ~
