neveronfriday Posted June 22, 2004 Report Posted June 22, 2004 Who can recommend a well-remastered currently available Best of (or the like) at a reasonable price? Cheers! Quote
RDK Posted June 22, 2004 Report Posted June 22, 2004 This is it - hands down... http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&u...l=Ac998b594tsqh It's not "in print," but it is readily available used... and usually very cheap. Quote
neveronfriday Posted June 22, 2004 Author Report Posted June 22, 2004 Just bought it. Thanks for the help. Cheers! Quote
neveronfriday Posted June 26, 2004 Author Report Posted June 26, 2004 Just spun the disk. Great sound and just what I was looking for! Thanks for the help. Cheers! Quote
Harold_Z Posted June 26, 2004 Report Posted June 26, 2004 Looks like a good set - I'll keep an eye out for it too. One question - I was always under the impression that producer Milt Gabler brought in big band veteran and studio pro Cliff Leeman to play drums on these - at least on "Shake, Rattle and Roll" and "Rock Around The Clock". I didn't see any mention of this in the AMG blurb - do they mention it in the notes? Quote
neveronfriday Posted June 26, 2004 Author Report Posted June 26, 2004 (edited) According to the liner notes, the following drummers played on these sessions: Billy Guesak (drums) on: (We're Gonna) Rock Around the Clock Thirteen Women Dick Richards (drums) on: Shake, Rattle and Roll A.B.C. Boogie Happy baby Dim Dim the Lights (I Want Some Atmosphere) Birth of the Boogie Mambo Rock Two Hound Dogs Razzle-Dazzle Ralph Jones or Don Raymond (drums) on: R-O-C-K Rock-A-Beatin'-Boogie The Saints Rock 'N Roll Burn That Candle See You Later, Alligator The Paper Boy (on Main Street, U.S.A.) Ralph Jones (drums) on: Rudy's Rock Hot Dog Buddy Buddy Rip It Up Don't Knock the Rock I'm assuming these notes are correct, but you know how it is: maybe the producer sneaked in another drummer? Anyone have any info on this? Cheers! Edited June 26, 2004 by deus62 Quote
ghost of miles Posted June 26, 2004 Report Posted June 26, 2004 Deus, if you really get into Haley, isn't there a Bear Family box of his work? Quote
neveronfriday Posted June 26, 2004 Author Report Posted June 26, 2004 Deus, if you really get into Haley, isn't there a Bear Family box of his work? It's currently on sale on eBay Germany (as of now around 60 EURO or so), but that's too much Haley for me. Cheers! Quote
