When posting compilations here I keep writing the same phrases - rare on vinyl, non-LP, original mix, hard to find original - and so on. This has it all and more. 1964 UK Island signed a license deal with US Sue label, getting rights to the name and recordings in England. At the same time they also secured deals with a number of other small US labels and started to issue cuts from those under the "Sue" banner, wich wasn't part of the original agreement. It may have been a bad idea back then, but because of that we got this totally unique collection of US '45:s 1959-64, for some of them the only time on LP. It's a strange mix of r&b, jazz, do-wop, blues, soul and pop. Original recordings of songs that later became big hits with other artists, early trials from superstars to be and a bunch of good songs from groups and singers now forgotten. To me this is more than just a compilation - it's rock'n'roll archeology. I'm not going to repeat the whole artist/songlist posted below, but I love having Otis Redding "Fat Girl", Chris Kenner "Land Of 1000 Dances" and Wilbert Harrison "Let's Stick Together" at the same place. Audio shifts from pretty good to rather bad depending on original recordings, but all as it were. First (only?) issue with structured label as shown here, thick unflexible vinyl and laminated flip/back cover. (SÄM*) (GÖJ*) (ÖSÄP*)
