THE FABULOUS WAILERS:--THE ORIGINAL GOLDEN CREST MASTERS,
By
This review is from: The Fabulous Wailers: the Original Golden Crest Masters (Audio CD)
This American rock and roll instrumental group,recorded some rockers-my favorite being from 1959,-"WAILIN'"/"SHANGHIED"-both sides are classics,but the "A" side is just BRILLIANT.
Two of-THE WAILERS-other singles of 1959,were released in the U.K. on the London Record Label. These are as follows. TALL COOL ONE / ROAD RUNNER 1959. MAU-MAU / DIRTY ROBBER 1959. In America-the first mentioned single[particuarly the "A" side] is one of this groups famous instrumentals. It is also a great recording. This is a 19,track CD of-THE FABULOUS WAILERS:-THE ORIGINAL GOLDEN CREST MASTERS-. Also comes with an informative sixteen pages booklet about the group and these recordings. Regards,Bill.

The first & second comings,
By Richard "Alice Collector" (Blackpool England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Fabulous Wailers: the Original Golden Crest Masters (Audio CD)
As vocalists the Wailers are also rans but as instrumentalists they are in a different class
The biggest hit was Tall Cool One which due to the British Invasion (accoeding to the copious sleeve note) charted again 6 years after it first hit in 1959.Which was the year North West bands became massive. Apparantly the Kingsmen's version of Louie Louie was modelled on their 1963 version which was made with Rockin' Ronnie Roberts. A wonder though they got away with Beat Guitar No 2 as its exactly the same melody and arrangement as Floyd Cramer's Flip Flop & Bop

The Holy Grail of Northwest Rock and Roll,
By levoyeur@ix.netcom.com - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Fabulous Wailers: the Original Golden Crest Masters (Audio CD)
There are probably four or five albums from the first wave of great Northwest rock & roll (1958 - 63) that are both must haves and highly collectible and "The Fabulous Wailers" is at the top of the list. This new import release is like manna from heaven - alternate takes, unissued tracks, and the complete first album - all taken from "newly discovered" masters that sound INCREDIBLE!!! Clean, no hiss, no compression, some of these tracks are even in true stereo for the first time in print!!! Hallelujah!!! My life is now complete (until they put out The Viceroys' "At Granny's Pad" on CD).

THEY STARTED THE SURF FIRST!!!!,
By Ken Rogers - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Fabulous Wailers: the Original Golden Crest Masters (Audio CD)
This is a classic group...The music of The Wailers bring back instant memories of "Drag-Races" and "Hot Rods" and "Surfing"...This ACE cd is a classic. The liner notes tell the whole story of the group that began the beat before the BEACH BOYS and JAN & DEAN...Listen and you can detect where some of the later classics got their inspiration. This is a must buy!!!!

Original Golden Crest Masters,
By "walters1221" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Fabulous Wailers: the Original Golden Crest Masters (Audio CD)
Wailers - Wailers - Everywhere! Mid to Late 1960's, growing up in Tacoma and Fircrst WA - The Tacoma Armory - Spanaway Lake Dance Hall - Evergreen Ballroom (long-live the Ballroom!) - The Spanish Castle! The Wailers were (and are!) THE MOST INFLUENTIAL GROUP EVER ON NORTHWEST ROCK! I went to Junior High, High School and College (yes COLLEGE!) with several of the band members and those were GOOD TIMES! Pre-New Age rock? They pre-dated them all! And they are STILL packing them in!
