$23.00
Catalog #:
DOY 622LP
On 180 gram vinyl. "Originally released in 1958, by the time her debut album came out Jackson, only 21 at the time, was already a seasoned performer. Discovered while still in high school singing country for an Oklahoma City radio station, by 1955 she was touring with Elvis Presley, who encouraged her to sing more in the rockabilly style, where she soon gained a huge fan base. However, this first album for Capitol shows just how versatile she could be, able to sing anything from traditional country to pop. She was also, interestingly the first country singer to bring a more glamourous style (one that would soon become standard in the country world) into her stage image, thanks to her mother's handmade flashy stage costumes. Contains 6 bonus tracks from the CD version."

Title:
Live at Town Hall Party 1958

Catalog #:
SEP 171EP
"Just turned 21 and beautiful beyond words, Wanda Jackson ripped through a red-hot, live Town Hall Party rockabilly session in 1958 that helped define the parameters of this raw, young music. Discovered singing on an Oklahoma radio station only two years earlier by honky-tonk recording star, Hank Thompson and encouraged to cut loose musically by genre superstar/touring partner (and one-time boyfriend) Elvis Presley, Jackson was a perfect fit for Town Hall Party, the Los Angeles-based TV show that had already welcomed sets by rockin' luminaries Gene Vincent, Carl Perkins and Eddie Cochran. Backed by old friend and 'King of the Strings' guitarist Joe Maphis, Jackson was in her element for the Town Hall Party session, tearing into 'Mean, Mean Man,' a career-defining tune she'd recorded only a few months earlier. Highlights of Jackson's set also include 'Rock Your Baby,' her current Capitol Records single, and 'Alone (With You),' a Faron Young chart-topper, as well as her show-stopping finale, Jackson roaring through 'Hard Headed Woman,' a scorcher from Elvis' current movie,
King Creole
. Jackson would soon become a substantial force on the country music charts, specializing in aching, honky-tonk ballads for the rest of her career. Still touring today to rabid fan reaction, Jackson has never forgotten her red-hot rockabilly roots. And no live session ever caught Wanda Jackson as wild and rocking as she was on Town Hall Party in 1958, now available on Sundazed's high-definition, 10" vinyl."
