Product Description
CD Description
* After "You Heard IT Here First", featuring original versions of songs that went on to become classic hits for others, we now introduce its sister serie'.
* "You Heard Them Here First" features early - and, in most cases, the 1960s debut - recordings of 24 legends of rock, most of them on CD for the first time.
* Here you can hear iconic singer songwriters like Dan Penn and Neil Young, cult heroes such as PF Sloan, Lou Reed and Lee Hazlewood and future global superstars Cher, David Bowie and Rod Stewart at the dawn of long and extensive careers - sounding, in many cases, no different to how they sounded once they achieved worldwide fame.
* Superstars often shun their early work as inferior, but we have included only recordings that display those involved in a favourable light, so we are sure that this CD will cause no embarrassment to anyone featured.
* Oh, yes - in case you were wondering, there'll be a second volume of "You Heard It Here First" in early 2010.

Archaeology,
By Gerard Hennessy (Wilmington, Kent, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: You Heard Them Here First (Audio CD)
Apart from the music itself, two things are of tremendous interest to many music fans. One is the age old question "whatever happened to...". The other is "what were they like before they were famous?". If the latter question intrigues you, then you will certainly be interested in this rather excellent new CD from Ace. Within it you will find 24 early cuts by the likes of David Bowie, Neil Young , The Byrds and Gram Parsons, to mention just four of the pre-fame performers whose performances it contains.
So who else is on board? No marks for spotting the likes of JJ Cale, Arthur Lee, Long John Baldry, and Marty Balin (Jefferson Airplane), as they retained the same stage name they started out with. And you could easily guess the `real' identity of both Lewis Reed and Cherilyn. However, much harder to identify are Neil Young, Crazy Horse, Warren Zevon, Ry Cooder, Taj Mahal, The Band, Lenny Kaye and Lee Hazlewood. Or perhaps I should say The Mynah Birds, The Rockets, Lyme & Cybelle, The Rising Sons (twice), The Hawks, Link Cromwell and Mark Robinson respectively. For these are indeed they. And what about the music? In a word, fascinating! While it is relatively easy to see the roots of what they would later become in the early work of The Byrds (as The Beefeaters), Gram Parsons (International Submarine Band), and Joe Cocker (as himself), many others needed to carry out a quite significant reinvention of themselves before finding fame, fortune and breakthrough success. So, here we have the younger Marty Balin as a teen idol! Bill Medley (pre Righteous Brothers) doing a very decent Coasters-type impression in The Paramours. And what price the high speed garage punk of The Pigeons? Almost unrecognisable as an early incarnation of the very serious, and very heavy, Vanilla Fudge. Serious collectors fork out enormous amounts of money for original pressings of these amazing recordings. Good luck to them. However if your primary interest is in conducting your own small scale archaeological dig into the pre-history of some of rock's most famous performers, as well as enjoying some excellent - and varied - music, you can't go wrong here. Great sound quality. Excellent sleeve notes. In fact a typical high quality Ace production in every respect. And hopefully with more to follow. Great stuff!

Essential for collectors,
By Richard "Alice Collector" (Blackpool England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: You Heard Them Here First (Audio CD)
At one time you only read about the early records of Lou Reed,Neil Young or P F Sloan but since the CD Age more of these recordings are finding their way onto thematic CDs.In the States material like this was relegated to budget labels ie Lou Christie,Frankie Valli,Gene Pitney,Johnny Rivers
Lou Reed followed his late 50s debut as a doowopper with the Shades and the Primitives by cutting a mass of high school pop for Pickwick which so far is unavailable in the U K This CD though is not available in the States and is an import there. However the Rising Sons are not the real ones and were never available in England under this name until recently when an aborted album credited to the Rising Sons appeared on CD with the names Taj Mahal,Ry Cooder & Jesse Lee Kincaid added.They were phased out for the solo careers of the 3 founders The real Rising Sons DID have a single issued in the U K and were a group produced by Shel Talmy for the Amy label with a 3rd one on Swan which became a Northern Soul hit of sorts. There's next to nothing about them on the Internet but both Rising Sons recorded a different Goffin King song

Where it first start out,
By Mr. H. M. Griffiths (Radio station gtfm 107.9 or www.gtfm.co.uk tune in and enjoy) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)
This review is from: You Heard Them Here First (Audio CD)
I'm all always interested to find out the history of a song or the early days of a singer/group, the enclosed booket is a wealth of information, they always are from ACE RECORDS ,This c/d fits the bill for me.
Worth adding to the collection.
