Product Description

Album Description

The first of three volumes which, between them, chronicle the six-year lifespan of the UK Sue label, probably the most beloved imprint of all among the many collectors of blues, rock‘n’roll and soul on UK labels. UK Sue was the R&B arm of Island Records, and – for most of its lifetime – the total responsibility of the late Guy Stevens. Almost every record that was released on Sue was personally selected by Stevens, many of them based on the reactions of the audience, when he DJ’d at the legendary London discotheque "The Scene". Stevens later went on to produce records by Mott The Hoople and the Clash in the 1970s, but it’s for the UK Sue label that he will always be remembered. The UK Sue Story is as much his story as it is that of the records he selected for release on its familiar red and yellow logo. Among the many artists who received their first UK exposure via a Sue Records release were Elmore James, Inez and Charlie Foxx, Donnie Elbert, Big Al Downing, Billy Preston, Bob and Earl, Homesick James and Jimmy McGriff. UK Sue also reissued many in-demand titles by such luminaries as Phil Upchurch, Bobby Parker, Huey "Piano" Smith, Frankie Ford and many more. Sue was, in many ways, the foundation on which today’s reissue market is built. Guaranteed appeal for all collectors of 50s and 60s R&B and soul music, with copious annotation, illustration and shots of original UK Sue labels to appeal to collectors everywhere!

5.0 out of 5 stars Difficult to find but worth it, 6 April 2004
Having been an avid record collector over the past fourty years a few of the 60's tracks have become unplayable. Trawling Amazon I found this gem. Anyone who likes modern music (whatever that means?) will understand that this cd is a slim slice of black music culture performed at the turn of the 50's to 60's and as such was an influence on the british beat explosion called the swinging 60's. Mockingbird, Land of 1000 dances, Billie's Bag; all these tracks filled dance floors (ex Mod) in the south of england during the 60's. the same tracks and the reaminder are/were also appreciated by the 'Northern Soul' buffs of the 70's to present day

5.0 out of 5 stars From Sue to you, 17 April 2004
By bauman4 (London, England) - See all my reviews
My big brother used to come home with the red and yellow Sue label records in the early 1960s and I think they may well have been the first 'grown-up' music I felt attached to (along with 2nd album Bob Dylan). This CD captures some of the excitement of those days and of hearing the tracks for the first time. I took it with me when I went to visit some friends in the English Lake District and they danced round their kitchen. So will you.

5.0 out of 5 stars Guy Stevens - a one man "ACE" label called SUE!, 27 Dec 2009
By Siriam (London United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)      
Ah the memories - those yellow and red Sue label 45 singles of artistes who you had only heard of by rumour or short single reviews in NME and MELODY MAKER but who once you heard them were like nothing else being released at the time by any other UK label. Take Inez & Charlie Fox, a brother and sister soul duo who after a great appearance on Ready Steady Go with better management and luck could have made it much bigger one suspects. But then again that is what this first release in the planned four set series underlines - great singles whether blues, jazz or soul, NY, Chicago or New Orleans would inevitably remain that, undiscovered gems which only saw the light of day this side of the Atlantic due to the great efforts of one DJ svengali Guy Stevens.

Just put this CD on and let yourself be swamped by the full range of Steven's eclectic tastes and the pot pourri of what was available for release outside the mainstream US/UK labels in the mid 60s if you were prepared to go and search it out in the USA and cut deals to licence the tapes in the UK. That Stevens was ahead of his time and in the process pretty full on and manic about whatever treasures he could uncover is fully on show here. The fact that ACE those compilation supremos extraordinaire are doing the man full justice after all these years with an as always detailed booklet is a fitting tribute that should be enjoyed (and if enjoyed be moved to go on to the next three volumes)!

The label took as its colors the red & yellow of Philles and in the 80s the same design was used for the Bomp label. Read more
