Rock You Sinners: Dawn of British Rock & Roll/ Va - Rock You Sinner

Somewhere between the explosion of Elvis and the young Andrew Loog Oldham's disappointment at the UK tour by Bill Haley and the Comets came a uniquely British reaction. Which had been, to be honest, evilly brewing for a while in the most unlikely Jazz circles... So a disparate crew of ex-Jazzers, crazies, showbiz stalwarts and Soho skiffle kids thought that they too could Rock'N' Roll!....And why not? Soon enough and hot on the heels a technicolor 3D Expresso Bongo world of 2 i's, Six-Five Specials and Oh Boys would spring from the brow of Jack Good and his cohorts. Meanwhile, go back with US to the Year(s) Zero of an artform which would take over the world; British Rock'N'Roll..... (and see if you too can spot that Lady Madonna in the Bad Penny Blues... courtesy of a young Joe Meek!). Rev-Ola Bandstand. 2007.
