Hit read more for the latest all styles cd releases from Ace Cds Mod, Blues, RnR, etc etc LOOKING GOOD - Mod Club Classics - CDBGPD 153 (Also on vinyl - BGP2 153) "Oh hell! This is this years touch of self indulgence", Dean Rudland compiler of many a dancefloor friendly compilation, both here and at previous places of fitful employment such as Blue Note and Acid Jazz, is trying to explain his latest BGP release. The title Looking Good: Mod Club Classics you would think explains it all, but as this is very close to his heart hes babbling on like a 15 year old school girl with a Westlife poster. <http://www.acerecords.co.uk/gotrt/apr03/cdbgpd153.html> more THE COMPLETE METEOR ROCKABILLY&HILLBILLY RECORDINGS - CDCH2 885 OK, youve got a choice here. On the one hand you could buy THE COMPLETE ROCKABILLY&HILLBILLY RECORDINGS double-CD containing both sides of all 19 rare and wonderful singles from the legendary Meteor label of Memphis. On the other hand, you could decide to hunt down the original 78s or 45s instead. <http://www.acerecords.co.uk/gotrt/apr03/cdch2885.html> more DANA GILLESPIE / Staying Power - CDCHD 891 Ace are excited this month to be celebrating Dana Gillespies fortieth year in the entertainment industry with the release of a stunning new album, STAYING POWER. Dana, who has been a strong presence in the world of music, has shown no sign of resting on her laurels in recent years. <http://www.acerecords.co.uk/gotrt/apr03/cdchd891.html> more THE LAURIE RECORDS STORY VOL 1 - CDCHD 933 When Laurie Records opened for business in 1958, its founders could not have foreseen how crucial their role in the history of rocknroll would prove to be. Formed by brothers Bob and Gene Schwartz along with Eliot Greenberg and Allen Sussell, the company was initiated as an outlet for Dion&the Belmonts, unknowns from the Bronx. <http://www.acerecords.co.uk/gotrt/apr03/cdchd933.html> more B.B. KING / My Kind of Blues - CDCHM 881 Fans of vintage B.B. King who are still picking themselves off the floor or ceiling after THE VINTAGE YEARS 4-CD box set (ABOXCD 8) shouldnt change into clean clothes just yet. Ace has begun the next phase of its campaign to reissue his prime 1950s and 1960s work for the Bihari brothers labels. <http://www.acerecords.co.uk/gotrt/apr03/cdchm881.html> more B.B. KING / Wails - CDCHM 882 The second release in our extensive CD reissue series of B.B. Kings LPs for the Crown label between 1957 and 1963, with bonus tracks including previously unissued material. <http://www.acerecords.co.uk/gotrt/apr03/cdchm882.html> more HADDA BROOKS / Swingin The Boogie - CDCHM 889 The early response to Aces new mid-priced "10 Inch CD" series has been heartening, to say the least. The good people of Collectorland seem to have latched onto the idea in a big way, and already there has been no shortage of suggestions for worthy future contenders for the "10-inch" treatment. <http://www.acerecords.co.uk/gotrt/apr03/cdchm889.html> more THE WAILERS / At The Castle /&Company - CDWIKD 228 Bobby "Blue" Bland, James Brown, Freddy King: the Wailers all had that roots music imbedded in us, we played black music but white people thought it was ours. It was our interpretation of it. When we leaned into that stuff, it was probably after Rich Dangel had been in the service and picked up on it. Rich was the driver there, he was a real music person and he absorbed and he learned. <http://www.acerecords.co.uk/gotrt/apr03/cdwikd228.html> more BLUESVILLE - Original Blues Classics Sampler - OBCCD 3712 While the fabulous Fantasy catalogues primacy in the jazz field is widely acknowledged, the magnitude of its blues holdings is less well known. This sampler should help rectify that situation: it focuses principally on the Prestige and Bluesville catalogues, with highlights from late 50s/early 60s sessions by major artists including Lightnin Hopkins, Sunnyland Slim, Jesse Fuller, Otis Spann, Lonnie Johnson, and Memphis Slim. <http://www.acerecords.co.uk/gotrt/apr03/obccd3712.html> more Produced by <http://www.acerecords.co.uk/index.html> Ace Records Ltd To be removed from these mailings please click "reply" to this email and enter "remove" in the subject box
