Pop music did not appear from nowhere but has a rich \u2018pre\u2019 history. Keywords like Big Band Sound, Gospel, Jump Blues, Vocal Groups and Boogie Woogie characterize this period. The first eleven compact discs in the \u2018Blowing The Fuse\u2019-series are a compilation splendid in sound and detail, dealing with important years in the progress of pop music in the range of black r&b, imaginatively compiled by the Canadian collector and DJ Dave \u2018Daddy Cool\u2019 Booth, and knowledgeably annotated by Hank Williams-biographer Colin Escott. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Republished by Blog Post Promoter<\/a><\/small><\/p>\n \t\t\t<\/div>\n <\/p>\n \t<\/div>\n
Berlin, November 19, 2005 THE NEW GOLD STANDARD IN R&B REISSUES IS NOW COMPLETE! Critics raved. Finally a series that really made sense of the wealth of music from R&B\u2019s early years! Now that series is complete. Here are the years 1956-1960, and here\u2019s why \u2018Blowing The Fuse\u2019 will be the standard for R&B reissues now and forever!
YEARS! YEARS! YEARS! Many companies have issued compilations of out-of-copyright recordings (ie. records more than 50 years old). That\u2019s why you\u2019ll find that their series stop at 1955. Bear Family\u2019s \u2018Blowing The Fuse\u2019 starts at the dawn of the Post-War R&B era in 1945, and now goes through until 1960! And, unlike the out-of-copyright labels who won\u2019t get to 1960 until 2011, we\u2019re there now because Bear Family pays the companies that own the music
PACKAGING! PACKAGING! PACKAGING! Other labels lift photos from old books<\/a> and magazines, and commission quickie liner notes that tell you little or nothing, and often get it wrong. Bear Family\u2019s \u2018Blowing The Fuse\u2019 has detailed song-by-song notes, stories behind the songs<\/a>, and incredible never-before-seen photos in huge booklets \u2026<\/p>\n
