"THE ACE RECORDS BLUES STORY"

Johnny Vincent founded Ace Records in 1955 after being laid off from his job as an A&R man at Specialty Records -- he had also founded Champion Records earlier in the decade -- and although he based his operations in Jackson, Mississippi, he was also very much in tune with the New Orleans R&B and blues scene, signing and releasing singles by several Crescent City artists, including Huey "Piano" Smith & the Clowns ("Rockin' Pneumonia and the Boogie Woogie Flu"), Frankie Ford ("Sea Cruise"), and Jimmy Clanton ("Venus in Blue Jeans"). But Vincent had several Mississippi blues artists on his roster, too, including Arthur Crudup, Sam Myers, King Edward, Pat Brown, and Willie Clayton, among others, and Ace became one of Mississippi's most successful labels in the '50s and '60s. This two-disc, 36-track set collects some of these rare blues cuts, including ten sides that are making their first appearance on CD. (Steve Leggett, Allmusic)

Sixty titles tell the story of one of the neglected labels in rock 'n' roll, R&B and soul. Jamie wasn't just Duane Eddy, you know! There are 60 songs here including Barbara Lynn You'll Lose A Good Thing, The Stompers Quarter To Four Stomp, Mitchell Torok Pink Chiffon, Sherrys Pop Pop Pop Pie, Tommy McLain Sweet Dreams, Cliff Nobles The Horse, Mac Davis I'm A Poor Loser, Ray Sharpe Linda Lu, Neil Sedaka Ring A Rockin', Bobby Gregg & Friends The Jam, and Fantastic Johnny C. Bogaloo Down Broadway....and many, many more!! (Bear Family)

The double-disc set Classic Jamie Masters contains a selection of highlights from the Jamie vaults, boasting 60 tracks from the late '50s and early '60s. Jamie didn't really have a signature sound, which means that Classic Jamie Masters is all over the place in terms of sound and style, flipping between rock & roll, country, pop and R&B in the blink of the eye. Furthermore, the set doesn't contain many hit singles. While there are a number of famous names, only two of them -- Duane Eddy and Barbara Lynn -- are represented by big hits. Nevertheless, the set is a quite entertaining, especially for listeners who are looking for rarities, obscurities and arcane items from big names. Classic Jamie Masters contains tracks by Duane Eddy ("Rebel Rouser," "Because They're Young," "40 Miles of Bad Road"), Barbara Lynn ("You'll Lose A Good Thing," "(I Cried At) Laura's Wedding"), Titus Turner ("Sound Off"), Barbara Mason ("Yes I'm Ready"), Bruce Channel ("Going Back to Louisiana"), Johnny Rivers ("Hole In the Ground"), Mac Davis ("I'm a Poor Loser"), Danny & the Juniors ("Oh-La-La Limbo"), Neil Sedaka ("Ring A Rockin'"), Maureen Gray ("Dancing the Strand"), Lee Hazlewood ("Words Mean Nothing"), Sanford Clark ("Son of A Gun"), Harold Melvin & the Blue Notes ("Get Out"), and Barbara Mason ("Oh How It Hurts").

Thanks for all the amazing bonus r&b today, as well as the incredible "Bo" and "Mambo" series.

Gyro: Still hoping you can find the time to re-up "R&B Years" 1955, Vol 2. (unless you already have and I just don't know where to look).
