In 1950s Britain, black pop and rock artists were a rarity, and the Press habitually referred to their ethnicity in a manner that would not be tolerated today. Rock 'n' roll was born in the USA on the evolutionary line from negro spirituals, through rhythm and blues. It was not until the form was well established that white artists such as Elvis Presley jumped on the train. In Britain, meanwhile, the biggest “ethnic minority” crowd-puller of all, with a TV audience of up to 18 million and a number 1 album, was an easy-listening choir of white men wearing black make-up: the Black and White Minstrels. This collection represents a little-documented byway of rock, travelled almost exclusively by immigrant or visiting artists, such as the Deep River Boys and Davy Jones. Band leader Ray Ellington might be considered by some to be a surprise inclusion, but his rock 'n' roll pedigree is clear. The dynamic and hugely entertaining sounds played no small part in driving forward a musical revolution in Britain.

PEA019 DAVE VAN RONK: BLUESMASTER
Bluesmaster celebrates the early work of the acclaimed blues and folk singer, guitarist, songwriter and teacher Dave Van Ronk, who died in February 2002 at the age of 65.
Tracks 1-14 make available on CD Van Ronk’s first recordings, dating from his 1959 debut album Dave Van Ronk Sings Ballads, Blues And A Spiritual, and the bonus tracks are selected from his 1961 album, Dave Van Ronk Sings.
When the young Bob Dylan arrived in New York, Van Ronk took him under his wing.
Van Ronk continued performing and teaching until almost the end of his life.
He was heavily influenced by the blues masters, recording his own version of classics by Blind Lemon Jefferson and other pioneers.
PEA020 TOM RUSH: THE UNICORN SESSIONS
While a student at Harvard University, 21-year-old Rush was already drawing crowds to Boston venues. His guitar virtuosity and imaginative treatment of folk and blues standards attracted unreserved critical acclaim. Rush’s appearances at the Unicorn on two dates — February 16 and March 19, 1962 — were recorded live and issued on the singer's own label on cassette tape, then vinyl, in that year. Thus was born a recording and performance career that has spanned the decades into the 21st Century. The 12-track set comprises traditional songs, from old familiars like The Old 97 and Ramblin’ On My Mind, to Woody Guthrie’s classics Pretty Boy Floyd and Talking Dust Bowl Blues.
PEA020 Tom Rush: The Unicorn Sessions £9.99
PEA017 DON LANG: FRANTIC ROCK
Despite weekly TV exposure on the ground-breaking BBC programme 6-5 Special, Don Lang achieved only one chart hit, a number 5 with Witch Doctor in 1958. However, this talented singer-musician has long been critically saluted as a rock pioneer, who produced a succession of high quality singles in the late 1950s. With his group the Frantic Five, he was known for firing off lyrics at 300 words a minute. He followed Jack Good from the BBC to ITV to become a
mainstay of the powerhouse rock show Oh Boy! Peaksoft have collected 31 of Lang's key 50s singles tracks for this brilliant collection. It’s rock ‘n’ roll at its frantic best.

BRITAIN'S COMPLETE NME NUMBER 1s
For
the first time, the disc was recognised as the most important element in
the music industry, and the coveted number 1 spot became the aim of
every pop music artist, from crooners to rockers, and from big bands to
comics. Young
people in their thousands bought their weekly copy of the NME, and tuned
in their trannies to hear the latest chart on Radio Luxembourg’s
Sunday show. The NME’s
enterprise and foresight had transformed the music scene. Peaksoft first double-CD volume of original recordings celebrates that achievement, featuring every number 1 from the first chart in 1952, to the end of 1956 – a total of 52 mega-hits.

VINCE
EAGER'S ROCK 'n' ROLL FILES
Wherever music and mischief have come together in the past 50 years, it seems that Vince Eager hasn't been far away. From his skiffle roots in Grantham, he became a pioneer of TV pop, before wowing the world in the titel role of the West End hit musical, Elvis. Vince rubbed shoulders with the giants of the music world, and with his big heart and sense of fun, he left a trail of admiring friends wherever he roamed. Thanks to his wayward sense of mischief, he's almost come a cropper on many occasions. From outwitting Robert Mugabe's security police, to ticking off the Rat Pack, he's been there, sung teh song, and come out smiling. Vince Eager has a tour bus full of tales to tell, and tell them he certainly does in this sparkling collectioj nof wit, wisdom and wonderful insights into the crazy world of pop stardom. EXCLUSIVE DOUBLE BONUS for Peaksoft customers: 1 Vince Eager interviews Jack Good live on stage. 2 All copies autographed by Vince. Large format, 21cm * 21cm, 230 pages. £12.99 |
