Wee Willie Harris: Grab You - The Brits Are Rocking Vol.9 (CD)

1-CD with 36 page booklet, 26 tracks: Total playing time: approx. 65 min.

He was arguably the most colorful figure in early British rock ’n’ roll: Wee Willie Harris – flamboyant, energetic, and just a little bit outrageous. With his pink-dyed hair, flashy suits, and exuberant stage presence, he brought a breath of fresh air to the late 1950s scene – long before punk or glam rock would shake up youth culture.

With the new Bear Family release BCD17732 – Wee Willie Harris: The Brits Are Rockin’ comes the most comprehensive collection yet of the “Wild One from Bermondsey.” Featured are his most important and exciting studio recordings from the late 1950s – including classics like “Rockin’ At The 2 I’s,” “Love Bug Crawl,” “Got A Match,”and his powerful version of “Wild One.”

A true highlight is the complete LP I Go Ape – originally issued only in Israel in the early 1960s and never before available on CD. Long considered an almost unattainable collector’s item, this rare album now shines in unmatched Bear Family quality, proving just how highly Harris was celebrated internationally.

But this set is more than just a collection of songs – it’s a piece of music history. Harris was Britain’s first real rock ’n’ roll eccentric, bringing the spirit of Little Richard to London and electrifying teenagers with his uncompromising showmanship. Later on, major artists like David Bowie, Ian Dury, and The Clash would cite him as an inspiration.

The 36-page booklet (lavishly illustrated and with detailed liner notes by Roland Heinrich Rumtreiber) tells the fascinating story of this one-of-a-kind entertainer – from his beginnings at Soho’s legendary 2 I’s Coffee Bar, through his tours with Buddy Holly and Gene Vincent, to his late cult status as the “Godfather of Punk.”

BCD17732 – Wee Willie Harris: The Brits Are Rockin’ delivers a thrilling mix of wild rock ’n’ roll numbers, humorous songs, and sheer energy. A must-have for collectors and fans of British rock ’n’ roll – and a unique opportunity to rediscover a long-lost gem like I Go Ape.

Wee Willie Harris lives on in these recordings – untamed, wild, and absolutely unique.
