Artist:	DIDDLEY, BO
Title:	Is A...Sessionman - Studio Work 1955-1957
Label:	JEROME RECORDS (SPAIN)
Format:	CD
Price:	$16.50
Catalog #:	JRCD 001CD

Jerome Records presents this first ever compilation showcasing all of Bo Diddley's pre-debut studio recordings. The riveting recordings he launched in the mid-'50s, with their unmistakably powerful phrasing, mesmerizing riffs and wild beat, changed the course of popular music and gave way to one of the most personal -- and most frequently imitated -- sounds in rock and roll. And yet, Bo Diddley's unique artistic personality goes beyond his work as a singer, guitar player and performer: this collection showcases his skills as a first-rate composer, talent-scout, session musician and producer of R&B stars such as Little Walter, Billy Boy Arnold, Billy Stewart, the The Schoolboys and the The Marquees (featuring a youthful Marvin Gaye in their line-up). Deluxe packaging with artist pics, label shots and extensive liner notes by George R. White, author of Living Legend, Bo Diddley's biography. Remastered sound.

Artist:	TURNER, IKE
Title:	Real Gone Rocket
Label:	JEROME RECORDS (SPAIN)
Format:	CD
Price:	$16.50
Catalog #:	JRCD 002CD

Subtitled: Session Man Extraordinaire: Selected Singles 1951-1959. Besides being an excellent boogie pianist and guitarist supremo, Ike Turner shone as a top-notch composer, producer and talent scout. It's a fact that Ike was at the same professional level as some of the biggest names of the day, whom he worked with on a number of occasions. This new 45s compilation shines light on this little-known aspect of his artistic career as the genius-behind-the-curtain on several recordings by other artists. Included are R&B essentials such as "My Real Gone Rocket" or "I Ain't Drunk" by the legendary Jackie Brenston and Lonnie The Cat, as well as obscure numbers -- never re-issued until now -- such as "Nobody Seems To Want Me" by Jessie Knight, "Would You Rather" by Kenneth Churchill, the Starrs' amazing cover of "Ain't Got No Home" or Chuck Bernard's "Calling Your Name." Liner notes and discography/sessionography by Fred Rothwell.

Format:	LP
Price:	$19.50
Catalog #:	JRLP 002LP

Subtitled: The Pre-Specialty Sessions 1951-1953. The legend wants it that when Little Richard was working as a dishwasher in a restaurant, he used to sing and shout in the same irrepressible way that would make him famous a few years later, when his concerts were being televised all around the world. This set finally corroborates such a legend. The Implosive Little Richard illustrates the reconstruction process of the wildest and freest identity in rock and roll history. Here are all of Richard's first recordings from the early '50s with the Johnny Otis and Billy Wright bands, the Deuces of Rhythm and the Tempo Toppers. All his pre-Specialty, pre-"Tutti Frutti" waxings, including his four RCA singles and all the 45s he recorded for Peacock Records. Housed in a gatefold sleeve with extensive liners, label shots, dozens of pictures, vintage press clippings and reviews.

Artist:	TURNER, IKE
Title:	Down And Out: Ike Turner Recordings 1951-1959
Label:	JEROME RECORDS (SPAIN)
Format:	LP
Price:	$19.50
Catalog #:	JRLP 003LP

Life's a bitch, and so is the world -- for Ike Turner at least. Neither his late and absurd Hall Of Fame induction nor the release of compilations like this one will ever do justice to one of the KEY characters in the birth and development of R&B. That is why any album underlining his historical importance and artistic talent deserves plenty of attention. Down And Out -- available on vinyl only -- gathers the very best of Ike's output as a solo artist and as the leader of the Kings Of Rhythm during the '50s. This feast of raw R&B includes "I'm Lonesome Baby," his legendary first 45, the killer instrumentals "Cuban Getaway" and "Cubano Jump," as well as "Box Top," the recording debut of a very young Tina Turner. Features exquisite cover art, remastered sound, liner notes and discography by specialist Fred Rothwell, the man who is currently writing Ike Turner's biography.
