Norman Petty Studios
The Vault Series - Volume #4
(1954-1959)
30
songs – captured in high definition from the original master tapes
9 tracks previously unreleased *
6 panel, full color eco-wallet with session info on each track
We have another heapin' helpin' of '50s gems dug out of the
Petty Studio vaults
ranging from 1954 to 1959. Some are high priced and elusive 45 releases,
and we feature 9 unissued tracks that are guaranteed to
make you wonder why they were not released.
Yes, Buddy Holly is guest guitarist on a few of the tracks here...
recordings by Ivan and Jim Robinson get their first legit release in digital
form!
Bob Church (brother of Terry "Church" aka Terry Noland) gets his
overdue debut;
from an unmarked reel we discovered the Bowman Brothers with their take of
"Mailman, Bring Me No More Blues",
Buddy & The Crickets were at the studio for their own session later in the
evening and must have liked the song,
because they recorded their version of it just a few weeks later.
An unissued recording of Bob Montgomery with his take of "Down The
Line"
made popular by "Buddy & Bob"...with very different lyrics!
Hope Griffith, Charlene Condray & Susan Levins represent the ladies in fine
fashion...
Country swing, rockabilly, early rock & roll, R&B
with the collection ending off with an early stereo instrumental.
You can't buy ONE of these original 45s for less than the price of this CD....
over an hour of enjoyable '50s fun,
and an essential addition to your collection!
USA: $14.99 |
CANADA: $16.99 |
OVERSEAS: $18.99 |

"Got

"Little
Teardrops by Bob Church has taken me by storm! I also LOVE Paul Mench in stereo
from the master.
The Bowman Brothers with Mailman is a person new favorite, and Royce Clark
is a great rocker.
Overall
a GREAT CD. You have managed to do what all before you failed,
to preserve & release the Norman Petty legacy is a classy way - the way
Norman was" ~ Tom R
I don’t think I’d be exaggerating to say that that one track alone justifies
buying the CD" - Roger B
