King Size Taylor: Taylor Made LP (LP, 10inch & CD, Ltd.)

1-LP (10inch) plus CD, 12-page booklet, LP 12 tracks, CD 27 tracks, Limited edition.

King Size Taylor - one of the great British rockers and member of the legendary Hamburg Star-Club family!
Taylor was always a rocker and less of a beat musician.
LP/CD combo; only 4 tracks are also featured on King Size Taylor's CD in Bear Family's 'The Brits Are Rocking' series
'Taylor Made' focuses on his best rockers recorded for Ariola and the rare Philips single Somebody's Always Trying.
Twenty-five of the twenty-seven songs on the CD were recorded in 1957/58 in the living room of Sam Hardie, the Dominoes’ pianist, Taylor's band - legally available for the first time on this particular release.
In the large-format booklet with liner notes by Marc Mittelacher, there are plenty of photos from Taylor's private archive showing him and stars of rock 'n' roll in the 50s.
Carefully mastered and with a photo postcard as a bonus!
We guarantee pure listening pleasure!

Especially here in Germany, King Size Taylor was known in the early sixties as a regular guest in Hamburg's Star-Club. In the Hanseatic city he performed more than 250 gigs between 1962 and 1964 and recorded exclusively in Germany during this time. Due to the creation of legends around the young Beatles, King Size Taylor also ran under the popular label 'Beat'. But on closer inspection Taylor was and always remained the real rocker from the British Isles.

After his first musical attempts in a skiffle band (1957), the guitarist and singer, who was born in Liverpool on November 12, 1939, soon founded a rock 'n' roll outfit, which performed under King Size Taylor And The Dominoes from 1960 onwards and moved to Hamburg in 1962. Ariola released live recordings from the Star-Club. An album recorded a little later, 'Let's Do The Slop, Twist, Madison, Hully Gully ...' was released by the German Polydor - under the pseudonym The Shakers. Single releases were also released in the UK, including Money, Whole Lotta Lovin' and Hippy Hippy Shake. Like the other numbers on the original LPs, these songs were cover versions of the hottest rock and R&B stars of their time.

King Size Taylor

November 12, 1939 - December 23, 2022

Ted Taylor aka King Size Taylor left this earth on 12/23/22 at the age of 83! According to his sons, he fell asleep peacefully.

Born on the twelfth of November 1939 in Liverpool, England, King Size Taylor started his musical career in the second half of the 1950s in the skiffle group 'The James Boys', but soon turned to the more popular rock & roll music and formed the band 'King Size Taylor & The Dominoes'. The band had their first guest appearance at the Hamburg 'Star-Club' in 1962 and many more were to follow. In a conversation Ted told me that he had played exactly 542 gigs in the Star-Club and thus had the most gigs altogether in Germany's most popular music club! Record contracts with the companies Polydor, Philips and Ariola followed quickly and the band often went after the live performances, which often ended at 01:00 o'clock at night, into the studio to make recordings! King Size Taylor accompanied with the Dominoes also Chuck Berry and Carl Perkins on their England tours in 1964!

King Size Taylor & The Dominoes eventually broke up in 1964 and Ted went back to England! Even if the band was called a so-called 'Beat Group', it was always more a Rock & Roll band and had nothing to do with the sounds of the 'Beatles', 'Swinging Blue Jeans', 'Searchers' and 'Hollies', among others, and the great commercial success thus unfortunately failed to appear. This fate Taylor shared not least with the companions Tony Sheridan and Lee Curtis, but Ted never struggled with it and dedicated himself again to his profession as a butcher, but played live gigs again and again and never completely said goodbye to music!

Now we say goodbye to him .... We were lucky and honored to work with him on his 'The Brits Are Rocking' CD (BCD17603) and the 10inch LP 'Taylor Made' (BAF14011) and he supported us with many anecdotes, information and photo material and, according to our impression, really enjoyed the projects!

Ted was a great man with a full life and always cheerful and helpful - we will remember you very well,

Nico Feuerbach for Bear Family Records

From: Bear Family Presse On: 23 Nov 2020

Absoluter Raritäten-Alarm auf höchstem Niveau!

Press Archive - King Size Taylor Dr. Feelgood - Taylor Made LP (LP, 10inch) - musikreviews
FAZIT: Zitieren wir hier einfach mal aus dem „Scrap Book“, das dieser extrem raren, streng limitierten und sogar mit einem Autogramm-Foto samt Originalunterschrift versehenen, remasterten 10“-Vinyl-Version plus gut 65 Minuten langen CD beiliegt: „Neben den beiden Bonustracks aus einer frühen Demo-Session der Band enthält das Album, das du in deinen Händen hältst, auch Decca/Ariola-Tracks, die 1964 in Hamburg aufgenommen wurden. Dabei enthält die CD die kompletten 50er-Jahre-Demo-Sessions (hier zum ersten Mal auf CD!), sowie eine äußerst seltene UK-Decca-Single von 1964… This is KING SIZE TAYLOR's rock'n'roll-beat-slop-twist-parade!“
„Taylor Made“ von KING SIZE TAYLOR ist ein musikalischer Edelstein aus dem Hause Bear Family Records, mit dem sie sich zugleich selbst übertroffen haben! Absoluter Raritäten-Alarm auf höchstem Niveau!

FAB!

What a great package! This is really lovely! An LP, a signed postcard by KST, a booklet AND a CD including the REAL beginnings of this great artist! The sound is great and the package includes the very rare and hard-to-find track 'Somebody's Always Trying'! Cheers!
