Various - That'll Flat Git It!: Vol.35 - Rockabilly & Rock 'n' Roll From The Vaults Of Mercury And Limelight Records (CD)

1-CD (Digipak) with 28 page booklet, 35 tracks. Total playing time approx. 79 minutes.

Another great compilation in our CD series with label portraits!
Just like all its forerunners, this album works as a perfect rockabilly and rock & roll jukebox.
Once again in focus: Mercury Records' high-quality catalog, first introduced in parts as 'That'll Flat Git It! Vol.11' (BCD16101) by Bear Family in the 90s.
Unbridled classics of the '50s by a young Conway Twitty, Eddie Bond and Narvel Felts as well as rare gems by Curtis Gordon, Orville Couch, Royce Porter or James O'Gwynn.
Comprehensive booklet with biographies of each artist - written by Bill Dahl from Mercury's hometown Chicago - and rare photos and illustrations.

Founded in 1945, Chicago's Mercury Records rapidly accrued major label status and grew into a full-service label, its massive roster encompassing everything from blues and R&B to country and jazz and a wealth of pop (the logo was a leader in covering R&B hits for the pop market). Mercury also signed a small army of quality rockabilly and rock and roll artists during the mid-to-late 1950s, and they're the focus of this bountiful collection.

Blistering classics by a pre-fame Conway Twitty, Memphis mainstay Eddie Bond, and the still-active Narvel Felts are on board, along with rare gems by Curtis Gordon (his torrid Draggin' appears without the usual startling reverb effects), Orville Couch, Royce Porter, James O'Gwynn, Charlie Walker, leather-lunged George Young, and swamp pop greats Rod Bernard, Jerry Raines, and Roy Perkins (Mercury had excellent contacts in southern Louisiana).

Eddy Bell & The Bel-Aires' rollicking The Masked Man (Hi Yo Silver) hailed from the label's Windy City backyard, but the label spared no expense in bringing in sizzling rockers from all over the country—as this compilation excitingly attests!

That'll Flat Git It CD-Album-Series with Rockabilly Music

Classic Rockabilly on CD

Back in 1992, we had the idea that we should create the all-time definitive Rockabilly CD-Album-Series, That'll Flat Git It! - Above all, Rockabilly was music recorded for 45RPM singles, so we designed a CD-Album-Serie label-by-label instead of artist-by-artist. And we compiled it for listening pleasure. Just the great stuff, plus a few super rarities.

Every of these That'll Flat Git It CDs would be for the most part a 30 song jukebox of the finest Rockabilly ever recorded for all the great labels. We sourced the very best sounding tapes and took them to the best mastering engineers. On top we took the packaging to a new level.

We adopted the catchphrase of the first Rockabilly dee-jay, Dewey Phillips, 'That'll Flat Git It!', and we hired Bill Millar, who'd compiled the still-classic label-oriented LPs in the 1970s and 1980s, to write the notes. We looked for previously unpublished photos, and tried to find all the artists who'd never been found before.

The result is a truly definitive Rockabilly CD-Album-Serie

From: Rockin' Robert On:18 Nov 2020

FINALLY! And HOLY SHIT IT REALLY ROCKS!

I was always thinking about when Bear Family would put out a second volume on Mercury AND HERE WE GO! Holy shit! I wasn't aware that the output on Rockers was THAT BIG and it includes the US-version without echo of Curtis Gordon's 'Draggin'! The sound is CRACKIN'! THANK YOU Bear Family for the world's greatest Rockabilly series - THE ROCKABILLY SERIES 'That'll Flat Git It'! With your releases you make the world a little brighter in these COVID-19 times! Many thanks from an enthusiastic Rock & Roll Daddy-O!
