• Lyhyt kuvaus The fortieth issue is dedicated to the catalogs of M-G-M Records and its two sub-labels, Cub and Metro - we first featured rockabilly and rock' n' roll on M-G-M before the turn of the millennium. With BCD 15789 'That'll Flat Git It! Vol. 7' there is no overlapping. M-G-M Records was founded in 1946 by film production company Metro Goldwyn Mayer as a record label to release soundtracks, but was open to a wide variety of musical genres from the beginning. M-G-M jumped into rockabilly when that genre of music literally exploded in the mid-50s! For our recent visit to M-G-M, we've chosen better-known rockers like Buck Griffin, Marvin Rainwater and Andy Starr alongside less popular performers like Gary Walker, George McCormick (part of the country duo George & Earl), Ricky Scott, Rita Faye, Bob Riley and Don Ruby, a.o. Before rockabilly was the order of the day, Don Gibson and Arthur 'Guitar Boogie' Smith each recorded two furiously cracking country rockers, which we also present here. Chicago music writer Bill Dahl has written the extensive liner notes with many biographical details and interview excerpts, and the recordings have been compiled from the best sources, often from our own archives. The lavishly illustrated booklet features some little-known images – another milestone in our groundbreaking label documentation on the history of rockabilly!
