• Lyhyt kuvaus The Godfather of Garage Rock. A stalwart of the rock scene who began in 1959, became a scenester in the mid 60’s, an urban legend in the mid and late 70’s, an icon ever since whose influence abounds. With a unique look and image, sideburns that can kill, Jesse Hector has proved to become an icon and a rock legend. This compilation, the first ever to tell the full story of Jesse Hector, pulls the best recorded evidence together. Stripped down band set up, often live in the studio, no frills, plenty of menace, high energy, a Rock ’n’ Roll sensibility underpinning everything. Where Jack White has drawn on Blues for the bedrock to the White Stripes material, Jesse Hector drew on Rock ‘n’ Roll. It is no coincidence that both acts produced some of their best work at Toe Rag studios, the first three on this compilation being recorded and produced by Liam Watson. Other producers have also got great results from Jesse, Chiswick’s Roger Armstrong producing the punk era classic “Gatecrasher” and the later Jesse Hector & The Sound recordings, Larry Page producing the equally classic version of “You Really Got Me”. The latter graces the recent compilation ‘Glitterbest’ and is often played on the radio by the likes of DJ Mark Lamarr. The album is timeless, like it’s a brand new album, even though the recordings span 1972-1988, they bear a consistent sound and performance. Even the bonus track on the end, Jesse’s first recording in 1959 doesn’t sound out of place
