About this product
This Bobby Vee retrospective focuses on the teen idol's Rock 'n' Roll years (1959 - 1962) - and Vee could rock, and how!Bobby Vee's career began in the wake of arguably the greatest tragedy in rock 'n' roll history on Feb. 3, 1959, Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens and the Big Bopper - on tour as the 'Winter Dance Party' - were killed in an accident, and Bobby Vee, only 15 years old, stepped in as a replacement at the Moorhead show!The young, successful producer Snuff Garnett saw great potential in Vee's Buddy Holly-inspired style, and with the string sound favored by Holly, made him a teenage superstar in pop as well.Liner notes by Bill Dahl; many little-known photos and illustrations in the extensive booklet and carefully mastered recordings.Bobby Vee was born Robert Thomas Velline in 1943 in Fargo, North Dakota. In stark contrast to the Coen brothers' gritty 1995 'Fargo' film drama, Bobby Vee's Rock 'n' Roll exudes the feel of teenage youth in those days.Not only was Bobby Vee a genuine teen idol during the early 1960s with a string of lighthearted smashes to his credit, he also knew how to rock, his strong Buddy Holly influence never far from the surface. Vee's entry in Bear Family's 'The Drugstore's Rockin' series, spanning 1959-1962, contains his debut single, Suzie Baby, through his first major hits for Los Angeles-based Liberty Records, Devil Or Angel and Rubber Ball, and the violin-enriched blockbusters Take Good Care Of My Baby and The Night Has A Thousand Eyes. But Bobby refused to abandon his '50s rock and roll roots-witness the five tracks culled from his splendid 'Bobby Vee Meets The Crickets' album with ex-Holly sideman Tommy Allsup on lead guitar.Nearly everything here was produced by Texas native Snuff Garrett, perhaps the youngest A&R man around then and one of the most successful.

Bobby Vee was a prolific hitmaker during the immediate post rock 'n' roll era, bridging the gap between rock 'n' roll and teen pop, with a distinctive style that brought him success on both sides of the Atlantic - he was just as popular in the UK as in his home country. He always had a close affinity with the music and style of Buddy Holly & The Crickets - he began his performing career as a 15-year-old stepping in with his band to fill a show soon after Buddy's tragic death in February 1959 at which Holly had been scheduled to perform, his debut hit with his first had echoes of InchPeggy SueInch and he later recorded with The Crickets. He recorded many memorable and outstanding hits during these crucial and action-packed early years of his career, including Top 10 entries with InchDevil Or AngelInch, InchRubber BallInch, InchMore Than I Can SayInch, InchHow Many TearsInch, InchTake Good Care Of My BabyInch, Run To HimInch, InchThe Night Has A Thousand EyesInch and others. This great-value 64-track collection includes all his US and &K A & B sides, and all his EP tracks from the period, plus selected tracks from all his LP releases during this time, which did not otherwise appear on singles or Eps. As such, it's a pretty thorough and hugely entertaining overview of what were perhaps the most significant and formative years of his career, and it's a great showcase for his distinctive talent

Recorded December 7 and 8, 1988 at the Sundance Club in Bozeman and the Top Hat Club in Missoula, Live in Montana is a tribute to a time when the Puppets were, as Michael Azerrad wrote in Rolling Stone, Inchone of an elite group of pioneering bands that tirelessly crisscrossed the country throughout the '80s, blazing an underground railroad of indie-oriented clubs, stores, radio stations and fanzines.Inch InchOur back catalog is an American treasure and should be in the Smithsonian, Inch says bassist and co-founder Cris Kirkwood. InchMegaforce is doing a huge service to the planet to make sure our music continues to get into the hands of everyone who needs to have the coolest record collection on the block.Inch
