Original 1960 compilation along with bonus disc featuring Jimmy Reed, John Lee Hooker, Elmore James and other classic Vee-Jay artists In the sixties, the legendary Vee-Jay label was the one of the leading independent labels specialising in music for Black Americans.
The label became hugely successful when their long-term relationship with EMI gave them the opportunity to be the first label in the United States to release The Beatles but by this time the label had already built up a formidable catalogue featuring an amazing array of doo-wop, gospel, soul, rock'n'roll and of course blues.
The Blues was a compilation originally released in America in 1960 and contained several of the label's biggest commercial hits of the previous few years.
When it was released in 1961 it was also probably the first blues compilation of its kind in the United Kingdom, introducing artists like Jimmy Reed, Jimmy Witherspoon, J.B.
Lenoir and Memphis Slim to a whole new audience. The second disc of this deluxe digipak edition features 21 other classic blues tracks from the label's back catalogue.

DONOVAN - Retrospective: Anthology Of Hits & Album Tracks Chosen By Donovan (1966-1969) @320
Poet, pop star, psychedelic troubadour and Shindig! favourite Donovan celebrates his 50th anniversary as a recording artist this year (his debut, ‘Catch The Wind’, was released in March 1965) with a new anthology spanning the groundbreaking music he made with Mickie Most between ’66 and ’69, selected by Don himself.
Alongside the iconic run of hit singles Don released between ‘Sunshine Superman’ in ’66 and ‘Barabajagal (Love Is Hot)’ three years later, Retrospective adds a satisfying spread of US-only singles and album tracks, including the less routinely-comped likes of ‘Oh Deed I Do’, ‘Writer In The Sun’ and ‘Ballad Of Geraldine’.
Of special interest to Don fans is the inclusion of one brand new recording, ‘One English Summer’, which will be simultaneously released as a single. Shindig! had the pleasure of hearing the new song and is pleased to report that it recalls the bouncy, Caribbean rhythms and quintessentially English lyrics (“crumpet everywhere” / “Jumbo in the air”) that Don dallied with on ’68’s Hurdy Gurdy Man album.
Meanwhile, a world tour kicks off with dates in the UK and Ireland in October, commencing with a show in Don’s home town of Glasgow at The Pavilion Theatre on October 3rd. BBC Radio 2 will join the celebrations with a one-hour special being broadcast at around the same time.

PERCY SLEDGE - Warm And Tender Soul '66 @320
Percy Sledge's sophomore effort, Warm & Tender Soul, is rarely mentioned in the same breath as its predecessor, When a Man Loves a Woman, but it should be. Despite the absence of a blockbuster crossover hit, the record still spawned a pair of R&B Top Ten entries ("It Tears Me Up" and the title cut) and further refined the singer's rough-hewn yet strangely sophisticated approach to bottomlessly deep soul. Produced by Quinn Ivy, and boasting several songs from the superlative songwriter Dan Penn, Warm & Tender Soul proves Sledge a singer of uncommon range and depth, articulating emotional truths that go far beyond mere words.

Thank you for The Blues....very cool!
Thanks G
Gyro,thank you for sharing Donovan's Anthology...classic tunes.
Donovan is a personal long-term favorite. Although I'm no big fan of the 70s stuff, his 2004 "Beat Cafe" is a complete winner, especially the jazzy title cut. Don was the only folk-rocker who used jazz in his arrangements, and used it well. No big surprise for the guy who wrote in an early song, "Sunny Goodge Street," "Listening to sounds of Mingus, mellow, fantastic."
Only Tim Buckley, on "Lorca" and especially "Starsailor," (hint hint!) delved further into jazz, atonal jazz at that, and sang in quarter and third tones. The title cut, as a friend described it, is what being on LSD sounds like.
I concur!
Thanks for the Wardell Q., and everything else!
M_Sharp, you're very welcome!
Thanks for CD1. Can you please reup CD 2? Thanks and greetings!!
