Various - Record Label Profiles Rockin' And Boppin' In The Desert - Arizona Rockabilly - Vol.2 (CD)

CD Digipac with 44-page booklet, 30 tracks, playing time 64 mns.

A 30-track follow-up to Bear Family's successful 'Rockin' And Boppin' In The Desert - Arizona Rockabilly Vol. 1' (BCD 16230). Ultra hard-to-find rockabilly and rock 'n' roll, 1955-1965! Including Waylon Jennings singing Rave On ! An absolute MUST-HAVE for hardcore rock'n'roll collectors! This compilation includes ultra-obscure singles, many coining big bucks when and if they turn up for sale, plus six hot unreleased tunes. A few of these desert discs actually saw light on national labels but most are from obscure small Arizona label imprints. Altogether, there are 30 more jumping and thumping tracks of Arizona musical history from 1955-1965. As always the sound, pictures, notes and deluxe packaging are up to Bear Family's usual high quality.

Records Visionaries

Label Profiles
History and Wedegang of record companies
In addition to presenting special record companies on individual CDs, Bear Family Records has dedicated boxes and entire series to several labels over the last twenty years.

The Texas label D-Records, for example, changes on 24 CDs from an ethnic-folkloristic label to a hardcore honky-tonk smithy and the home of the very young George Strait.

Then there is the indispensable Sun range and some other great boxes.
