Bear Family Records^® releases an LP/CD combination in commemoration of the 50th anniversary of the passing of the great Gene Vincent, 'The Cat Man'!
In his time, he influenced the international, and especially the British, music scene like no other.
Between 1956 and 1961, eight of his songs entered the British Top 40!
For the Teddy Boy movement he was and remains an idol!
For this 10inch LP, Bear Family has compiled eleven of his timeless rockers plus the ballad I Sure Miss You.
The bonus CD delivers 22 more highlights from 1956 - 1958, including rare recordings.
Detailed liner notes by Marc Mittelacher in the large format illustrated booklet.

With Be-Bop-A-Lula, recorded on May 4, 1956, the artist - born in Virginia in 1935 - has become an immortal rockabilly idol on both sides of the Atlantic. Gene Vincent belongs to the elite circle of the greatest and most influential musicians of his era. His appearance in the film 'The Girl Can't Help It' made him known beyond the hard core of rockabilly fans to a wider audience.

When, after several successes, his star began to wane in the U.S., he toured Europe several times starting in 1959, delighting audiences in Great Britain in particular. He became a revered idol for the Teddy Boy movement that emerged in the early 1950s in the UK!

Gene Vincent died on October 12, 1971 at the young age of 36, apparently as a result of years of alcohol consumption and drug abuse. Posthumously, he was inducted into the Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame and the Rockabilly Hall of Fame. With his death, the music world lost one of the great stars of his era.

Half a century has passed since his death, but his fans still worship him like an ambassador from the Olympus of Rock & Roll. Bear Family would like to commemorate a pioneering rockabilly musician with this LP/CD combination. Stefan Kohne and Nico Feuerbach have selected eleven of his best rockers plus the sensitive ballad I Sure Miss You - which was also the foundation for the album title - for the vinyl album. The jam-packed CD contains 22 further highlights, including rare live recordings from the fifties and songs by Blue Caps members Cliff Gallup, Dickie Harrell and Johnny Meeks, among others. The large-format and illustrated booklet contains extensive liner notes by Marc Mittelacher.

Gene Vincent

Eugene Vincent Craddock was born on 11 February 1935 in Norfolk, Virginia. As a child he listened to the Grand Ole Opry on the radio every Saturday while also coming into contact with the music of the local black community. He left school early and enlisted in the navy in 1952, aged seventeen; his great passion besides music was motorcycling.

In July 1955 a road accident shattered his leg, which narrowly escaped amputation – an injury that caused him pain for the rest of his life. While recovering, in September he saw Elvis Presley live in Norfolk; from then on all he wanted to do was sing rock 'n' roll.

Early in 1956 he entered radio station WCMS's talent show Country Showtime, first with Heartbreak Hotel, then with an unknown song called Be-Bop-A-Lula, backed by the house band the Virginians. The record became an anthem and made Gene Vincent one of the defining figures of the rock 'n' roll era.

Together with his legendary group, the Blue Caps, Vincent cut some of the most exhilarating records of the 1950s for Capitol. His studio recordings span 1956 to 1971 and stirred an almost cult-like devotion in his followers. Nearly half a century on, they sound as exciting as ever. Gene Vincent died in 1971.

Gene Vincent will never sound better than on the Bear Family releases.

Nobody kicked ass harder than Gene Vincent & the Blue Caps. Thank God they recorded at the Capitol tower studio. Their sound was perfectly captured there. And their records will never sound better than on the Bear Family releases.
