FINAL COLLECTION INVESTMENT ITEM! 1956 MONO *ORIGINAL* LEGENDARY ROCKER!
GENE VINCENT & THE BLUE CAPS
BLUEJEAN BOP!
\ USA - (Aqua) CAPITOL RECORDS - T- 764 (MONO)
AMAZINGLY ... MINT all over!
1956 FIRST PRESSING ... TOP MINT ALL OVER!!! IN GLOROUS MONO with the BIG BEAT monaural production which is suitable for this rockin' legend... Bloody Hell this is a great album ! FROM 57 YEARS AGO ... a perfect copy with 4 sharp corners.... This 1956 album featuring Gene Vincent, rock's original bad boy. Behind him are the Bluecaps, a band that was arguably the toughest and most cohesive rock outfit of their day.Original 1956 first pressing of the legendary FIRST ALBUM by the BLUE CAPS featuring GENE VINCENT...
Includes the original printed '50s printed inner sleeve
The VERY first Gene Vincent And The Blue Caps album ...Recorded hot on the heels of Gene Vincent's smash hit, "Be Bop a Lula", this is the earliest document of the classic Blue Caps line-up and captures the lightning-in-a-bottle of Gene and the band at their Hadacol & trucker-speed fueled greasy best. Mighty guitarist Cliff Gallup is at the top of his game here, running supernaturally-fast lead-solos, shutting down 99% of the boomer-icon "guitar heroes" still plaguing the FM dial. Cut in June 1956 and manages to be one of the most exciting LPs to come out of the early rock & roll era, blowing away Elvis Presley's first two albums, which date from the same period. The virtues of Gene Vincent and His Blue Caps as high energy rock & rollers, transcend from the title hit and joined by some rocked up standards ("Lazy River," "Peg O' My Heart," and "Ain't She Sweet," which the Beatles picked up in their early repertory by way of Vincent, and made their first vocal recording five years later), as well as including rave-up's like "Jumps, Giggles and Shouts." As it turned out, Vincent and his band didn't need first-rate songs to produce great rock & roll -- they rise to the occasion here, throwing the hard rocking numbers into the air like the musical equivalent of rocked-out rockabilly, or stretching out elegantly on the handful of memorable melodics, and the result is one of the few truly virtuoso rock & roll albums of the era. What sets Bluejean Bop apart from Elvis' albums, in particular, and most other white rock & roll of the period, is that it has the tight sound of an actual working band, where Elvis' (and most other white rock & rollers') albums, in particular, almost inevitably featured session players whose presence helped make for an idealized recording, but not a good representation of how they sounded on stage -- which is what rock & roll was really about. Vincent and company, by contrast, were playing shows virtually every night during the period of these sessions. The sessions themselves were done without any help from studio musicians; and they were conducted with minimal input from producer Ken Nelson, who pretty much let the band do what came naturally. The result is a lean, tight sound, akin to a live recording -- which this practically was -- in terms of minimal retakes, lots of spontaneity, and no overdubbing. Raw, alive and exciting!
