Various Artists - That'll Flat Git It! 27 / Various - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Rockabilly from the vaults of Sun Records! - Back in 1992, we decided that Rockabilly sounded good on CD, so we had the idea that we should create the all-time definitive Rockabilly series, 'That'll Flat Git It!' Above all, Rockabilly was music recorded for 45RPM singles, so we designed a Rockabilly series tag-by-tag instead of artist-by-artist, and we compiled it for listening pleasure. Just the great stuff, plus a few super rarities. Every CD would be for the most part a 30 song jukebox of the finest Rockabilly ever recorded for all the great labels. We sourced the very best sounding tapes and took them to the best mastering engineers, and then we took the packaging to a new level. We adopted the catchphrase of the first Rockabilly dee-jay, Dewey Phillips, 'That'll Flat Git It!', and we hired Bill Millar, who'd compiled the still-classic tag-oriented Rockabilly LPs in the 1970s and 1980s, to write the notes. We looked for previously unpublished photos, and tried to find all the artists who'd never been found before. The result is a truly definitive Rockabilly series that now runs to twenty-seven volumes

2008 . Atlantic Records is one of the great labels in American popular music. From classic R&B singers like Joe Turner, LaVern Baker, and the Drifters to Soul stars like Aretha Franklin, Wilson Pickett, and Solomon Burke, and Classic Rock artists like the Rolling Stones, Yes, Led Zeppelin, and many others, Atlantic has been at the forefront of popular music since it's inception in 1948. As an early sixtieth birthday present, we're reissuing 29 recordings that Atlantic probably forgot they ever made! It's the one side of the tag's long story that has never been told The attempt to score Rock hits during the late '50s that started with a failed attempt to sign Elvis. This collection includes the fabulous original version of a song that Elvis later covered, 'Judy', as well as the original version of a song that Buddy Holly later recorded, 'Rave On'. Additionally, it features incredibly rare early recordings by David Gates, founder of the '70s Soft Rock band, Bread, as well as Bill Haley's Comets, recording as the Kingsmen. 29 tracks. Bear Family.

This volume in the epic InchThat'll Flat Git ItInch series is one that all collectors will want. Although the series runs to twenty volumes, this is Volume 13 because it has taken on and off the schedule while we awaited approvals and tried to find the best quality tapes or discs to transfer. Anyway, the wait has been worth it. As before the CD is compiled expertly by Bill Millar and includes a generous 30 tracks. And as before the CD includes an untoppable mix of established classics (like Joe Bennett & the Sparkletones' Black Slacks, Clint Miller's Bertha Lou, Ronnie Self's Pretty Bad Blues, George Hamilton's Everybody's Body, and Jack Scott's Baby, She's Gone) with rarities and underground classics, like Joey Du'Ambra's Come Back a Little Mama, both sides of Jay B. Loyd's ultra-rare ABC single, both sides of Jackie Lee Cochran's even rarer ABC single, Ronnie Toth's Miss Lazy, and many more.
