These are nice compilations from the awesome TWILIGHTZONE ‘I Fall To Pieces’ Gems for the Brunswick UK Vaults 1959 - 1962
Nice notes too:
Classic recordings of the Brunswick Records label from the UK. 60 original recordings over three discs, including Buddy Holly, Brenda Lee, Jimmy Donley, Bill Haley & The Comets, Bobby Helms, Kalin Twins, Webb Pierce, Bill Monroe and many others.
The label has a long history with record production going back to 1916 and is still in existence today. Many will recall that in the UK the Brunswick label was the home of American Decca recordings from the 1940s. In the early 1950s the label started issuing rhythm and blues stuff and then from around 1957 pop. Just picture all those labels on the 78s; 45s and new fang led LPs some 10 inch and others 12.
Early artistes included the Kalin Twins who have 3 tracks on here; Roy Drusky also 3; Bill Haley likewise 3; Buddy Holly 2; Brenda Lee an amazing 6; Burl Ives a singleton; Patsy Cline 3; Bobby Helms 2. Not to forget the likes of Bobby Darin; Jimmy Durante, yes; Rock Hudson and the well established pianist Carmen Cavallaro who closes the 3 CD set with his interpretation of the now classic Moon River.
Brian Parks provides the informative liner notes and these are nicely illustrated with 12 small black & white of some of the featured artistes. The sound quality is excellent throughout.
This is yet another in an impressive list of label retrospectives often the only such collection available. Pricewise these are a bargain and for the record collector offer an impressive look back at a specific label. Each track shows the original record number.
Disc three to follow soon I think . . . . . . . .
I loved this but Tarantino’s genius was to add such songs to his soundtracks . . . . . . . .
Note you may need a VPN or web browser that uses one or always downloads from the area in question as its UK inaccessible Zippysh**e!
Opera is really good and works a treat!
