Fat Man One Of Several Essential Fats Domino CDs If you're a Fats Domino fan, then this CD and the others in the series are absolutely essential. This one contains ALL his Imperial single releases - both sides - from 1950 to 1952, plus a couple of later LP cuts that were recorded back then. The listing on the back shows you the Imperial record # and the year of release for each selection, not all of which charted. Included with the eight pages of comprehensive liner notes written by Rick Coleman in 1996 are a couple of great shots of Fats, including one from the early 1950s with Dave Bartholomew, Sonny Jones, Billy Diamond and his then chauffeur Bernard Dunn. There are also poster reproductions, including one advertising 1950s Little Bee/Boogie Woogie Baby which also shows Jewel King [Broke My Mother's Rule/I'll Get It] and Cecil Gant [When You Left Me Baby/You'll Be Sorry]. Out of Ace Records of London, England, the sound quality is superb. And you have to give a listen to Korea Blues which was the flipside of his second hit, Every Night About This Time [# 6 R&B in December 1950]. Always one of the toughest to find in other than its original record format, you quickly find out why. It seems Dave Bartholomew, an Army Band veteran, thought the record would be enhanced by his incessant bugle calls. He was wrong. You can barely hear Fats over the strident tones. All this is explained in Coleman's notes. An absolute gem in every respect. I grew up dancing to his music. And still Love it. He's tops in my book.I have visited his home in New Orleans,on Caffin Ave Buy Fats Domino Early Imperial Singles 1950 1952 at Amazon.com Buy posters at Allposters.comJamster - the latest ringtones for your phone! |
