Dion - Jasmine EP Collection - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

This collection of classic VENTURES sides, compiled from EPs issued in the US, the UK and France between 1960 and 1962, features a selection of hits, flips and album tracks. Virtually every major American Rock guitarist of the past fifty or so years has cited The Ventures as a major influence - even George Harrison is on record as having said he preferred them to The Shadows! When John Fogerty inducted them into the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame in 2008, he observed Inch'Walk, Don't Run' kicked open a whole movement in Rock & Roll. The sound of it became Surf Music, and the audacity of it empowered guitarists everywhere.Inch Although they no longer field any original members, the band's current line-up includes long-term lead guitarist Bob Spalding, his son Ian on rhythm, and drummer Leon Taylor, son of the late Mel Taylor

Jacques Brel Was A Belgian-Born Singer, Songwriter And Actor, Who Famously Composed Melodramatic Songs And Performed Them In A Dramatic, Theatrical Style. The Third-Best-Selling Belgian Recording Artist Of All Time, With More Than Twenty-Five Million Worldwide Sales, He Was Also A Master Of The Modern Chanson And Initially Built A Large, Devoted Following In Belgium And France. Although He Recorded In French He Became A Huge Influence On Several English-Speaking Writers And Performers, Notably Rod McKuen, Scott Walker, David Bowie And Mort Shuman. This Compilation Of Classic Early Brel Recordings Is Drawn From Eps Issued In France And Belgium On The Philips And Barclay Labels Between 1955-62, Which Had Been Spun Off His Lps. Among These Sides Are His Original Versions Of Several Of His Songs Which Went On To Become Internationally Known.

For all his success in the US Country market during the 1960s/70s/80s, not to mention the two albums of duets he made in the 2000s, which were the biggest selling LPs of his career, many fans will insist That Jerry Lee Lewis Never Improved Upon His Early, Sun Recordings. This compilation of Jerry Lee's classic Sun sides is drawn from EPs issued in the US, the UK, France and Sweden, between 1957 and 63. It avoids his biggest hits, which are readily available elsewhere, in favour of more modest US chart-riders, international hits, B-sides, album cuts, etc.
