About this product

-Bear Family's revisit to the history of the Texas TNT tag in our unique CD series 'That'll Flat Git It!' focuses on the rockers Robert Tanner produced in the 1950s. -The most important tag from Southwest Texas at the time released outstanding recordings by country legends, rockabilly greats and accomplished rock 'n' rollers. -Bill Anderson, Ray Campi, Jimmy Dee, Glenn Reeves, Roy Head - just to throw a few names into the ring. -Extensive liner notes by music historian Bill Dahl with the story of TNT Records and detailed notes on each recording in the comprehensive, fully illustrated booklet, which comes with a high-quality 6-page Digipak. The vast Texas recording legacies of Houston and Dallas have been celebrated for more than half a century, and rightly so-the Lone Star State's expansive musical smorgasbord is as impressive and wide-ranging as that of any state in America. But what of San Antonio, currently America's seventh largest metropolis? It's high time to pay tribute to San Antonio's top tag during the 1950s, Robert Tanner's TNT Records-and that's exactly what Bear Family is doing with the latest entry in it's celebrated 'That'll Flat Git It' series. It's jam-packed with country legends (Leon Payne, Bill Anderson, Lonnie Lillie), raging rockabilly (Ray Campi, Cecil Moore, Jerry Dove, The Delatones, Dan Virva), and thundering R&B-laced rock and roll (Glenn Reeves, Ray Liberto, The Blue Notes, Jimmy Dee, Johnny Olenn and The Jokers, and Roy Head's group, The Traits), nearly all of it sinfully rare. Tanner had the San Antonio recording scene all sewn up from 1953 into the early '60s - and his TNT tag packed sonic dynamite!

Various Artists - That'll Flat Git It 32: Rockabilly & Rock From The Vaults   - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Apart from big names we present the greatest unknowns like the fantastic guitarist Sandy Coker, the Tyrones, The Bay Bops or Chuck Johnston. Awesome!Bear Family's fourth plunge into the combined Decca, Coral, and Brunswick vaults for it's 'That'll Flat... Git It' series provides more than a few surprises alongside some of the hottest rockabilly and rock and roll of the 1950s. Decca maintained a strong presence in Nashville under the A&R aegis of Paul Cohen and Owen Bradley, recording a plethora of stars there - pint-sized Brenda Lee, the brawling Burnette brothers, Wayne Walker, Ronnie Self, even Buddy Holly, and they're all here. New York and Los Angeles are well-represented as well. As usual with this series, it's the obscure stuff that collectors will flip over - dazzling guitarist Sandy Coker, Canadian import Arnie Derksen, a stormer from Mitchell Torok, The Tyrones' tough Rocker Broke Down Baby, and eye-openers from The Bay Bops, The Barker Brothers, Chuck Johnston and The Jay Cees, Johnny Duffett, Arthur Osborne, and Dodie Randle's two overheated anthems. Those bottomless Decca vaults never disappoint!

Various Artists - That'll Flat Git It Vol. 34: Rockabilly And Rock 'n' Roll From The   Vaults - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

The first CD compilation ever with recordings from the vaults of the record companies Blue Moon and Bella Records from Santa Clara and San José in California respectively.The album includes the complete recordings of Johnny Amelio and Joe Gradie and presents many more rockers.More than ten tracks are released here for the first time on CD, and two numbers were completely unknown until now rare demos by The downbeats with Johnny Amelio, which we dubbed from a rare acetate.The booklet provides never before seen photos and detailed information about the history of the labels Blue Moon and Bella.The two record labels Blue Moon and Bella Records from California were both owned by John Pusateri, who originally came from Franklin, Louisiana, and moved to San José in the 1920s. There he first founded Bella Records and in 1957 Blue Moon Records in Santa Clara.In keeping with the concept of the Bear Family's 'That'll Flat Git It!' series, only the most rocking titles from the Blue Moon & Bella catalogues were selected for this . And these recordings can compete with the best of the genre!Here we tell one of those stories that record collectors dream about! In addition to the more well-known musicians such as Johnny Amelio, the Savoys and Gradie O'Neal, you'll find a large number of lesser-known colleagues such as Buddy Bennett, Chuck Royal, Joe Jaros and the Empala Six - to name but a few.Since most of the original master tapes are lost forever, the majority of the masters have been transferred from rare and hard to find original single releases (45's), carefully restored and remastered to meet Bear Family's quality standards.This is a promising and long-awaited project that we hope will be welcomed with open ears by fans of Rockabilly, by those who basically love the music of the fifties and by all those who are passionate about the music scenes and culture of California.
