"Between 1958 and 1962, the Ric and Ron labels were an important force in New Orleans rhythm and blues. Together they provided Johnny Adams, Irma Thomas, Martha Carter, Robert Parker, Warren Lee, and Al Johnson their first opportunity to record. They also extended the careers of Eddie Bo, Bobby Mitchell, Tommy Ridgley, and Professor Longhair.
"The punchy Ric and Ron sound was unique, even when compared to Minit, Instant, Ace, Frisco, and Imperial, labels active in New Orleans during that same period. This was due largely to the ambitious owner Joe Ruffino, whose aspiration was to create a label different from the competition."

NORMIE ROWE - Frenzy! 50th Anniversary Collection 1965-1968 (2015) @320
Festival Records Commemorates The 50th Anniversary Of Normie Rowe's First Single With 'Frenzy! The 50th Anniversary Collection!' 'Frenzy!' is a 30 song soundtrack of normie's frenzy-filled 1965-1968 period, the collection features all his early hits and more remastered and sounding better than ever! The album includes songs from normie's London sessions with musicians including Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones. Normie Rowe was Australia's biggest music star of the '60s. From 1965 to 1968, he was all over the radio, TV and press. The word "frenzy" sums up what was going on around Normie during those 3 years; the innocent fun of teen hysteria, the power of pop music and the social changes that were taking place around the world. And the draft; famously Normie was called up in early '68, and was in Vietnam by January 1969. In the telling of this story, one thing is often overlooked, and that is the sheer quality of the records that Normie made during this period. From the tough, dramatic and powerful early Melbourne recordings like "It Ain't Necessarily So" and subsequent singles like "(I) Who Have Nothing," "Que Sera Sera" and "Shakin' All Over," through to the superbly arranged and sung tracks he recorded in London in '66 and '67 (with session musicians like Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones no less - what other Aussie can claim that?) like later hits like "Ooh La La" and "It's Not Easy," Normie's pop, R&B and Soul-encompassing body of work is as strong as that of any other Australian of the era. And on this new collection it sounds better than ever, thanks to the remastering work of Aztec Records' Gil Matthews.

THE BAND - Capitol Rarities 1968-1977 (2015) @320
With last year’s complete release of Bob Dylan and The Band’s The Basement Tapes, and the recent Record Store Day “official bootleg”-style vinyl LPs of music from those seminal sessions, the music of The Band is once again, happily, enjoying a high profile.
Fans of The Band might have noticed a new compilation quietly released last week by Capitol Records. Capitol Rarities 1968-1977 features 33 tracks and over two hours of music from the legendary group of Robbie Robertson, Levon Helm, Garth Hudson, Rick Danko and Richard Manuel. This digital-only release has been culled from the bonus material issued by Capitol on seven of The Band’s 2000-2001 reissues, all of which are still currently in print (and many at budget price) on compact disc.
These 33 tracks encompass all of the bonus tracks which premiered on those reissues except for two tracks on Music from Big Pink (“Katie’s Been Gone” and “Ferdinand the Imposter”) and all ten bonuses on the live album Rock of Ages (including three Bob Dylan guest appearances). It’s unsurprising that the latter ten tracks aren’t included, as Capitol issued The Band’s Academy of Music concerts from which Rock of Ages was drawn as a 2013 box set available both digitally and on compact disc.
For those who haven’t already picked up the complete series of Band reissues and would like to cherry-pick bonus tracks, this offering might be for you. Capitol Rarities 1968-1977 can be ordered below!

BOB DYLAN - New Morning (1970, MFSL 2014) @320
The album might have saved Bob Dylan’s career. At the least, it proved the icon still relevant, and his wits still in tact. And it immediately followed what remains the artist’s biggest disaster, the yet-unexplained and forever puzzling Self Portrait, a nearly unlistenable attempt that caused many to wonder whether Dylan had lost his mind. If intended as a joke, it bombed, making the sublime New Morning all the more important to restore faith in the singer’s creativity and songwriting prowess. It did all this and more, and stands as his finest studio effort during a five-year span.
“Many of the songs seem to have been made up on the spot, with confidence in the ability of first-rate musicians to move in any direction at any time,” wrote Dylan expert and cultural critic Greil Marcus in his original review for the New York Times. “The riffs, inventions, and studio jams of New Morning have their own personality…the full joy of anticipating the right move and the exhilaration of hitting it square and bouncing off a chord into a new lyric.”
These observations hold true today, for the 1970 effort claims a daring flair Dylan rarely exhibited on albums before or since. Enthusiasm and excitement surround his singing, and his work on the 88s underlines the liberating arrangements. Offbeat and eclectic, the record frolics and swings, with the Bard and his crack band pursuing jazzy steps (“Sign on the Window”), shuffling spoken-word experiments (“If Dogs Run Free”), and soulful rock (“The Man In Me,” used to wonderful and prominent effect in the Coen Brothers film The Big Lebowski).
Throughout, Dylan’s phrasing communicates joyousness and simplicity seemingly carried over from the stripped-down John Wesley Harding and Nashville Skyline. The record’s dominant sentiments trace to the lead track, “If Not For You,” one of the singer’s all-time greatest singles, stitched with country threads and warmth that pervades everything that follows. Yes, New Morning may lack the iconic status of some of Dylan’s better-known records. Yet the underdog stature makes repeat listens all the more rewarding.
Mastered on Mobile Fidelity’s world-renowned mastering system, this SACD version spotlights the open, woozy sound that welcomes wholeheartedly Dylan’s piano, several eager guitars, female background singers, Al Kooper’s organ, and snappy drumming into a world of their own. New Morning remains one of Dylan’s loosest and jovial affairs, the instruments retaining an off-the-cuff sensibility relating to a nightclub atmosphere or live stage feel. On this reissue, notes naturally dangle and fade, allowing the playful vibes and humor to come through like never before. Consequently, the album can be experienced with a new perspective.
Mastered from the original master tapes

Thanks
Gyro, there are more volumes to the Ric & Ron set aren't there? These two CDs are all on the Ric label and from the years 1958-1960. I'm guessing that the Ron label comes tomorrow. Great stuff, though.
Thanks Ryp, Thanks Gyro!
Mose
Thanks for the Ric & Ron Recordings.
And welcome back - hope you had a great vacation.
Thank you RYP...a great comp!
Gyro, as the recent "Another Self Portrait" showed us, the songs on "New Morning" were from the _same sessions_ as the much-despised original "Self Portrait." The reissue showed that there was a very good album to be drawn from these sessions, if it is as well-compiled as the new version was. Disc 3, the 1969 Isle of Wight concert with the Band, sounds pretty darn close to the sound he and his band produce today.
Ric & Ron (and others) look great. Tanx!
Fantastic! Thanks so much, Gyro- indeed, there are seven volumes of the Complete Ric And Ron. Here's hoping you have them all! Cheers
Edgar Blanchard's tracks on Vol 1 of Ric/Ron are reversed. The slow one is Lonesome Guitar and the fast one is Let's Get It.
Thanks for all of the great stuff!
