Each volume is pressed on limited edition 10” vinyl and comes with a free CD plus bonustracks for the highway cruise in your big block V8.
Linernotes:
The United States was in crisis. Elvis Presley could only be filmed from the waste up on TV. Girls were in a state of constant perspiration and the guys were digging James Dean. On Ed Sullivan’s show, ‘The King’ gave the Bible Belt ‘Peace In The Valley’. People were confused but hoped that, in 1957, teenage music and rock ‘n’ roll was a fad that might just pass. In Liverpool no-one had cottoned onto that and the Cavern Club opened.
And, in the mysteriously super cold and suitably austere Russian empire, Sputnik 1 and 2 were launched. The cold war was gearing up and notable births in that year included Sid Vicious, The B52s’ Cindy Wilson and Siouxsie Sioux. Monkeys would soon go into space - nothing would ever be the same again.
Down on the corner in anywhere USA, the jukebox was getting stacked with vinyl that asked plenty of questions. These records threw together sounds that didn’t belong and storylines and one liners that sparked the imagination. The established acts were crossing musical barriers to get into the spotlight Jukeboxes all over the globe were being bent out of shape. Three songs could change everything… Forever.
On 1957 we are featuring rare and cool 45s that might have made their way onto a dusty jukebox in the middle of nowhere.
