About this product
-In the 1950s, the major Hollywood film studios established their own record companies, primarily to market the soundtracks from their films on record. -Bear Family Records® dedicates the now already 39th edition in the 'That'll Flat Git It!' series to rockers from the United Artists Records catalog. -Since late 1957, great recordings of rockabilly and rock and roll singers appeared there, many of whom moved on to other companies after one or two singles. -But even later popular names like Al Casey, George Jones or Delbert McClinton recorded for United Artists. -The liner notes in the as usual extensive and illustrated booklet are written by Bill Dahl, the recordings are from the best possible sources and have been carefully edited. One of a new generation of film studio-operated U.S. major labels during the late 1950s along with 20th Century Fox and Warner Bros., United Artists Records concentrated largely on soundtrack albums during it's first few years of operations but tried to cut hit pop singles too, and the company's interest in rock and roll was obvious from the outset near the close of 1957. The latest entry in Bear Family Records® That'll Flat Git It' series surveys UA's fascinating early rock and roll catalog, full of promising singers that only cut one or two splendid singles for the imprint (Chuck Wiley, Ronnie Brent, Warren Miller, Wes Bryan, Hunt Stevens, Brein Fisher, Wendell Smith, The Four J's) before moving on, along with a handful of better-known names (Al Casey, George Jones, Delbert McClinton's Straitjackets) on hand for good measure. Lee Hazlewood and his then-partner Lester Sill produced a handful of late '50s rockers for UA, and there are even tastes of belting Chicago R&B (Joyce Davis' Superman) and atmospheric Gulf Coast swamp pop (Gene Thomas' Sometime) aboard this essential collection. Album Tracks 1. Billy Eldridge with the Fireball

That'll Flat Git It! Vol. 41 Rockabilly & Rock 'n' Roll From The Vaults Of Dot & Hamilton-The 41th installment in our popular CD series 'That'll Flat Git It!' featuring selections from the R'n'R and rockabilly catalogs of U.S. record labels is dedicated to Dot Records, a company otherwise known for pop covers of R&B hits. -For Bear Family Records®, Nico Feuerbach has selected an incredible 37 titles! -Well-known names like Leroy Van Dyke, Sanford Clark or Robin Luke share the job with lesser-known peers like Prentis Slade, Billy Joe Tucker, Ned Costner, a.m.o. -Extensive liner notes in the comprehensive illustrated booklet and meticulous mastering from the best accessible sources round out this . -Another highlight in this far from finished series and a recommendation for all R'n'R and Rockabilly fans! Although the tag tends to be best-known for it's pop covers of '50s R&B hits, Randy Wood's Dot Records with it's subsidiary Hamilton Records also issued more than it's share of legitimate rockabilly and rock and roll. Bear Family Records®' latest entry in it's 'That'll Flat Git It!' series salutes that side of the company's voluminous slate, bringing together no less than 37 selections by a vast array of artists both well-known (Leroy Van Dyke, Jim Lowe, Sanford Clark, Jimmy Newman, Robin Luke) and demonstrably obscure (Prentis Slade, Billy Joe Tucker, Ned Costner, Keith Courvale, Tommy Danton & The Echoes), each one a winner. The Nighthawks' original When Sin Stops, Mac Wiseman's Hey, Mr. Blues Man, raspy-voiced Jimmy Dee and The Offbeats' Don't Cry No More and Here I Come, Tom Blair & The West Coasters' Rock It, and Sonny Curtis' A Pretty Girl underscore the wide-ranging artist roster that Dot amassed (the tag commenced operations in Gallatin, Tennessee before relocating to Hollywood in 1957).

-Bear Family Records® presents the second compilation of rockabilly tunes from the catalogs of M-G-M Records and it's sub-labels Cub and Metro. -The better-known rockers are Buck Griffin, Marvin Rainwater and Andy Starr, while the less-known performers include Gary Walker, George McCormick, Ricky Scott, Rita Faye, Bob Riley, and Don Ruby, a.o.! -The album includes two country rockers each by Don Gibson and Arthur 'Guitar Boogie' Smith! -As always, we provide recordings in TOP sound quality! -The liner notes are written by Bill Dahl. -Extensive and richly illustrated booklet with biographical and discographical information. Dewey Phillips (1926 - 1968), a humorous Dee Jay from Memphis, who regularly introduced white and black musicians in his broadcasts since 1949, wrote Rock & Roll history when he played Elvis Presley's first single on the radio in July 1954. From his verbal signature 'That'll Flat Git It!', Bear Family Records® borrowed in 1992 the title of our long-running tag-by-tag rockabilly series featuring the record company's best rocking recordings! The fortieth issue is dedicated to the catalogs of M-G-M Records and it's two sub-labels, Cub and Metro - we first featured rockabilly and rock' n' roll on M-G-M before the turn of the millennium. With BCD 15789 'That'll Flat Git It! Vol. 7' there is no overlapping. M-G-M Records was founded in 1946 by film production company Metro Goldwyn Mayer as a record tag to soundtracks, but was open to a wide variety of musical genres from the beginning. M-G-M jumped into rockabilly when that genre of music literally exploded in the mid-50s! For our recent visit to M-G-M, we've chosen better-known rockers like Buck Griffin, Marvin Rainwater and Andy Starr alongside less popular performers like Gary Walker, George McCormick (part of the country duo George & Earl), Ricky Scott, Rita Faye, Bob Riley and Don Ruby, a.o Album
