Product Description

CD Description

The best-selling female pop vocalist of the early 1960s, Brenda Lee was an international megastar who sold over 100 million records (she was voted Best Female Vocalist by the NME for five consecutive years) all before she was 21. And while it is true to say she reached the greatest number of record buyers by recording ballads, she also possessed one of the toughest rock'n'roll voices of that era - THE greatest according to John Lennon.

Here properly compiled for the first time are the rock'n'roll and bluesier recordings she made at the start of her career before she embraced the smooth certainties of the pop scene. It is a stand-alone release designed to wrap up these particular tunes.

Even at her peak, she would continue to thrown in little surprises on B-sides and very often these too became hits - such as `Just A Little', `Anybody But Me' and `That's All You Gotta Do', all heard here, are typical examples. There is the perennial hit, `Rockin' Around The Christmas Tree', and the classic `Let's Jump The Broomstick' as well as very early rockers such as `Dynamite', `Rock The Bop' and `Jambalaya', which display a feisty attack belying the fact Brenda was a mere 13 years old at the time.

In 1964, Brenda came to London to record to record the scorching double-sider `Is It True' and `What'd I Say' for hotshot British producer Mickie Most. The latter tune appeared on the B-side of the UK release only to be replaced with a ballad when the single was released in the States. `What'd I Say' has always been hard to find on CD and appears here for the first time in two decades.

Superb booklet generously illustrated with rare records and memorabilia in the classic Ace tradition.

By Mr. W. J. Wright TOP 500 REVIEWER
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
In my opinion the three females most brilliant & legendary rock & roll & ballad singers are the 3 "Queens"
of Rock and Roll music, WANDA JACKSON, CONNIE FRANCIS, and of course BRENDA LEE. And here on this
fabulous 28 songs[1956-1964]cd ACE RECORDS have done wonderful work in honouring one of those three
legends, BRENDA LEE who more than deserved her nickname of LITTLE MISS DYNAMITE, for she belts out some
classic rockers on this cd titled "BRENDA LEE QUEEN OF ROCK 'N' ROLL".
From classic rockers like "ROCK THE BOP", "RING A MY PHONE", "SWEET NOTHIN'S", "CRAZY TALK", "JUST A LITTLE", "ROCK-A-BYE BABY BLUES",
amongst many other classic rockin' gems.
As always ACE Records produce wonderful booklets, this one is of 16 pages, fully detailing Brenda's recording career, plus many
rare photos including those of records/record covers.
Regards,Bill.

Excellent! 15 Nov 2010

Brilliant! For those looking for pure 50's style rock n roll this is it. Intially seemed expensive but worth it if you are a rocker.

This is a fine collection of Brenda's early rockers. It shows what a fine force she was in rock and roll. I recommend you buy this cd and enjoy some great music from an exciting era.
