TWILIGHTZONE
(or Ride Your Pony!)
shared as they occasionally do, compilations from the out of print bucket bin for the UK >> most of their's use download systems that do not allow for file sharing downloads in the UK like zippyshite which ages ago now decided to make their system non-working over here << . . . . . . . fortunately Twilight use a few that do use things like imagenetz or the more recent krakenfiles which Jobe and the Boss (SW) over at HQ have been trying recently and TWILIGHT offer this on several items (would that they did so for all of their featured items) and here they have offered a choice and welcome addition to that back catalogue when we see the following compilations on R&B classic tracks continuing many many favourites from the era from Wynonie Harris, Big Joe Turner, Sister Rosetta to Julia Lee, Louis Jordan T-Bone Walker, and John Lee Hooker.
BLOWING THE FUSE
THE NEW GOLD STANDARD IN R&B REISSUES IS NOW COMPLETE!
Critics raved. Finally a series that really made sense of the wealth of music from R&B’s early years! Now that series is complete. Here are the years 1956-1960, and here's why 'Blowing The Fuse' will be the standard for R&B reissues now and forever!
YEARS! YEARS! YEARS! Many companies have issued compilations of out-of-copyright recordings (ie. records more than 50 years old). That's why you'll find that their series stop at 1955. Bear Family's 'Blowing The Fuse' starts at the dawn of the Post-War R&B era in 1945, and now goes through until 1960! And, unlike the out-of-copyright labels who won't get to 1960 until 2011, we're there now because Bear Family pays the companies that own the music
PACKAGING! PACKAGING! PACKAGING! Other labels lift photos from old books and magazines, and commission quickie liner notes that tell you little or nothing, and often get it wrong. Bear Family's 'Blowing The Fuse' has detailed song-by-song notes, stories behind the songs, and incredible never-before-seen photos in huge booklets ... booklets so big they won't even fit inside the standard plastic case. Instead, they go in specially designed DigiPacs.
COMPILATIONS! COMPILATIONS! COMPILATIONS! Most out-of-copyright labels do their compilations from chart books compiled by Joel Whitburn. Compiling from Whitburn is the easy way out. We hired
Dave 'Daddy Cool' Booth, a guy with one of North America’s biggest R&B collections and the dee-jay experience to know how to program music. He went through his incredible collection and then he went through 'Billboard' year-by-year, and picked out more than just the hits. We selected the absolute best music, some of it never reissued on CD until now, as well as the biggest hits, and we have no more than two songs by any artist on any CD. These are true, properly thought-out compilations in the spirit of Guy Stevens, Paul Oliver, Mike Leadbitter, and the others who compiled groundbreaking blues/R&B LPs back in the 1960s and 1970s.
SOUND! SOUND! SOUND! We used the absolute best sources from the original labels, then carefully remastered for the absolute best-ever sound.
Beware! These will cost a little more than some of the out-of-copyright reissues, but they'll be worth it.
If you're sick of R&B reissues that look and sound like a 'Proper' mess, then go for the best. And you won't have to wait until 2011 to get the complete story of R&B's golden years!

Thanks for posting. The 1946 compilation has the same link as the 1949 compilation so if clicked it downloads the 1949 file.
