Great sound - great sounds!, 22 Dec 2002
By p. silverman - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Modern Records Story: the Very Best of the Modern Labels (Audio CD)
Before Rock and Roll became an Industry mostly driven by major labels, independent companies like Atlantic, Specialty, Vee Jay, Sun, and Modern broke ground for the new youth-oriented mass market. They recorded in living rooms, in store fronts. They got a perfectly *imperfect* sound which remains transcendant to this day. I doubt the Bihari Brothers or any of their contemporaries cared if their discs were called R & B or R & R when their discs made some noise - without heavy distribution! This excellent assemblage covers mostly '47 to '56 and features the true pioneers like Ike Turner (pre-Tina and with Tina), Pee Wee Crayton (with the fast "Texas Hop", a sound from '48 that Charles Edward Berry must have dug at some point prior to '55), Young Jesse (with a non-charting classic called "Mary Lou"), a few from Elmore James, and many, many more. The notes are exceptionally fine. The pressing is headphone-friendly, to say the least.I felt that one of Little Richard's '65/'66 efforts would have fit in well, perhaps "Do You Feel It? (The Second Line)" which spent some time on the Cashbox Black Singles chart. Let's hope a "Part Two" is in the works to accomodate this number and several others from a very signficant label.
