Various Artists: Blue Moon & Bella Records (LP, 10inch, 45rpm)

1 vinyl 10"LP with 8-page booklet. 12 tracks. Total playing time approx. 28 minutes

For the first time on a vinyl LP, Bear Family releases 1950s masters of two California-based record companies!
John Pusateri from Louisiana moved to the West Coast in the 1920s and first founded Bella Records in San José and then Blue Moon Records in Santa Clara in 1957.
For this project we have selected the rockiest recordings of Johnny Amelio, Chuck Royal, Joe Gradie and other fine rockers.
The booklet provides extensive liner notes, detailed discographical information,
rare photos, and a detailed history of the Blue Moon and Bella labels.
Carefully restored and remastered recordings.

Tells one of those stories that record collectors dream about! For the Bella and Blue Moon companies, in addition to better known musicians like Johnny Amelio, the Savoys and Gradie O'Neal, less successful colleagues like Buddy Bennett, Chuck Royal, Joe Jaros and the Empala Six recorded, all of them producing great songs in their day.

With most of the original master tapes lost forever, the majority of masters have been dubbed from rare and hard-to-find original singles (45s), carefully restored and remastered to match Bear Family's quality standards as closely as possible.

From: Dusty Grooves On: 22 Jul 2022

Rare sounds from the South Bay scene

Rare sounds from the South Bay scene – completely rare singles from two tiny labels both owned by the same guy – Blue Moon and Bella Records, each of which issued only a handful of records apiece! Yet despite that fact, there's a rock-solid quality here that maybe matches some of the best indies of the Tennessee and Louisiana scenes of the time – served up with a similar ear for twang-heavy groups that maybe still have a bit of the hillbilly left in their sound, somewhere in the background – but who are definitely rockers right up front! The package is great – a very cool 45rpm 10" piece of vinyl – and a big booklet of notes and photos about the artists and the label – with titles that include "Bon Bom Baby" by Joe Jaros, "Bom Du Wa" by Toby & Ray, "The Mortal Monster Man" by The Savoys, "You're Like A Butterfly" by Chuck Royal & The Sharpsters, "Jugue" by The Downbeats, "Gonna Be Loved" by Linda & The Epics, "Turkey Neck Stretch" by Gradie O'Neal & The Bella Tones, "I've Got A Baby" by Clyde Arnold & The Sharps, and "Jo Ann Jo Ann" by Johnny Amelio
