Editorial Reviews

CD with 40-page booklet. 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. Above all, Rockabilly was music recorded for 45RPM singles, so we designed a Rockabilly series label-by-label 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 label-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 We looked for previously unpublished photos, and tried to find all the artists who'd never been found before.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 series that now runs to over TWENTY-FIVE volumes.

This volume of Rockabilly from the vaults of Decca Records contains 30 tracks from 'Rare Rockabilly Volumes 1-4', the British MCA series issued 1975-78, with Eddie Fontaine, Barbara Allen, Vernon Claud, Al Cocker, James Gallagher, Lou Graham, and many others.

5.0 out of 5 stars VERY RARE CUTS FROM DECCA, July 15, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: That'll Flat Git It!, Vol. 6: Rockabilly From The Decca Vaults (Audio CD)

There are many rare cuts on this album like the cut from Red Foley, Pat Boones father inlaw. But the best one is from Jerry Engler Mr Sputnik man himself. This is the first CD with his song on it and it's like having an original master to enjoy and make copies of. The variety of artists make for an interesting session.

The liner notes, photos and history behind the music make this on of the best rock-a-billy series going, not to mention they are full off great songs and by varoius artist. We play alot of the tracks off this series during our Rock-A-Billy radio shows. A must for fans of the music.
