Very Best of

Jerry Lee Lewis Has To Be One Of The Most Recycled Artists In History.Year After Year Dozens Of Cheaply Made "Greatest Hits" Packages Find Their Way Into Bargain Bins All Over The World.They Usually Consist Of Muffled Bootleg Live Recordings Or A Mixed Bag Of His Early Hits For Sun And You're Lucky If You Find One That Has More Than Ten Songs On It. And Then There's This One.With Three CDs And Sixty Songs This Has To Be The Rolls Royce Of Budget Sets.These Are All Original Sun Studio Recordings.However,Five Of Them Are Alternate Takes."Break Up","Good Golly Miss Molly","Ramblin' Rose","I'm Feeling Sorry" And "I'll Make It All Up To You".Jerry Lee Recorded Hundreds Of Songs During His Days At Sun But Unfortunately His Scandal Slowed Down His Career And Most Of Them Just Sat In The Vault Until The Late Sixties And Seventies At Which Time He'd Reemerged As A Country Star.Due To Licensing Issues There Is Nothing Here Recorded After 1962. Just Like Any Jerry Lee Album You Get A Wide Range Of Music,You Name It There's Probably A Little Of It Here,Gospel,Blues,Country,Pop And A Whole Lot Of Rock And Roll. The Set Bounces Randomly Through The Sun Archives.There's A Sides,B Sides,Album Tracks,Pretty Much Everything That Was Actually Released During The Time He Was There. The Sound Is Better On This Set Than Most I've Heard.This Music Is Sixty Years Old So Don't Judge It By Today's Standards.These Are OLDIES BUT GOODIES-Even The CDs Look Like Little Records Which I Like.It's Hard To Find Anything To Complain About,Especially When You're Getting This Much Music For Under Ten Bucks.However,A Booklet Would've Been Nice.

Wow what a great disk. It's a fantastical trip into the past. Outstanding sound and selections!!!!!

Don't care for the guy but like the music.

that good

Excellent CDs good sound fast shipping no damage perfect

1986 R’n’R Hall of Fame inductee Jerry Lee Lewis (aka The Killer, born ’35, described as “rock & roll's 1st great wild man” w/his live performances) is a pioneer of rock’n’roll & rockabilly, making his 1st recordings in ‘56 at Sun Records in Memphis as a session player w/Johnny Cash & Carl Perkins. He had a number of hits in ’57 to mid ’58, but once word got out that his 3rd wife was his 13 year old 2nd cousin (he was 22), he was blacklisted from radio & almost vanished from the music scene, having just a few minor hits after that. By ’68, he had a revived career in country music. This 2013 UK Not Now release of public domain songs from Jerry Lee Lewis covers all of his songs (except for Goodnight Irene from his 1st album) released through 1962 (all his A & B single sides & his 2 albums). His output was relatively sparse for this timeframe, & this 3 disc set could easily fit on 2 discs w/room to spare; 20 tracks on each disc, disc 1 is 45 minutes, d2 – 51 min., d3 – 49 min. All songs sound clean & are mono (except d1 track #3, d2 #7, d3 #4 are stereo). No booklet; tri-fold cover has photos under discs 1 & 2, songwriter & rec. dates under disc 3; song titles on back cover. If interested, Windows Media Player gets it all wrong; to rip to my computer to make my own compilation, I had to delete all song names on each disc to rip it (not a big deal since I had to input correct song titles anyway), otherwise ripping each disc would erase the prior disc – weird.

Great buy!

The songs and the piano are all Jerry Lewis.

Le plus grand pianiste de rock au monde : il ne sera jamais égalé.

Tengo discos antiguos de este cantante. El precio era bueno y me decidí a comprarlo para tener repuestos de discos tan antiguos. Uno de los pioneros del Rock and Roll
