Ernie's Import Lp Corner
The Rockin' Rebel - Volume II
“ The Rockin’ Rebel vol. 2 ” on Golden Archives GA-300 was released in 1979 and hails from the US. The front cover features a black and white classic pose of Elvis on stage in the 1950s. The back cover also features a black and white of Elvis, this time on stage at the Louisiana Hayride.
The gatefold cover opens up to feature various black and white photos from various Hayride shows and a nice set of liner notes giving information on the tracks included on this LP. As a bonus, a 16 page 8½ x 11 inch booklet titled “ Live in ‘55 ” featuring glossy black and white 50’s photos of Elvis performing on stage is included. This booklet is FANTASTIC and is an excellent “ bonus ” that certainly adds to the theme of this LP!!
The LP label features the treasure trunk overflowing with “ archived discs ” . The sound quality is very good throughout, the pressing has minimal surface noise and the sources for these performances ( though remote recording technology at the time was still in its infancy ) are of very listenable quality.
Side 1. All tracks are listed as being from Eagle’s Hall in Houston, TX (March 19, 1955)
Side 1...1. Introduction / Good Rockin’ Tonight Side 2..1.That's All Right (from The Louisianna Hayride)
2. Baby, Let’s Play House 2. Blue Moon of Kentucky
3. Blue Moon of Kentucky 3. Tweedlee Dee
4. I Got A Woman 4. I Was The One
5. That’s All Right 5. Love Me Tender
The Emcee gives an introduction and the set opens with “ Good Rockin’ Tonight ”, after which Elvis begins to introduce Bill and Scotty but the source tape is interrupted. “ Baby, Let’s Play House ”, “ Blue Moon of Kentucky ”, “ I’ve Got A Woman ” and “ That’s All Right Mama ” round out this set. All of these tracks were released on an LP titled “ The First Years ” ( commercially in England and import in the USA ) and also on an LP titled “ The Fist Year – Recorded Live ” on Black Belt Records; with the same track order as this LP.
Side 2: All tracks from various Louisiana Hayride shows
“ Lucky Strike Guest time ”: The words of Frank Page first introduced a radio audience to the future King of Rock N Roll on Oct 16, 1954. Frank chats with Elvis before he launches into side 1 of that first Sun record “ That’s All Right ”. Frank inquisitively asks Elvis where he and the boys came up with that sound and Elvis simply states that they “ stumbled upon it ”. They flip that record over and play the trio’s version of “ Blue Moon of Kentucky ”, completing their first Louisiana Hayride Performance. (It was announced that they were to perform again later in the evening – not heard on this LP, a recording of that second set hasn’t surfaced ).
The remaining six months of Elvis’ Hayride contract was bought out for $10,000 by Col Parker as Elvis’s career skyrocketed and it became more difficult for Elvis to get to Louisiana every Saturday night to perform. The last two tracks on this LP side; “ I Was the One ” and “ Love Me Tender ” both come from Elvis’ final contractual Hayride performance on Dec 16, 1956 from the Hirsh Memorial Coliseum in Shreveport, LA complete with the Jordanaires singing back up. These last two tracks were first released on this LP. ( “ Hound Dog ” was also performed at this show, and Emcee Horace Logan first coined the now infamous phrase “ Elvis has left the building ” after Elvis’ 35 minute set to assure the audience that Elvis would not return to the stage ). The Hayride, which began in April 1948, would fade in the 60’s as TV became the medium of choice, but the legacy of entertainers it brought to audiences all over the South will endure.
While the front cover of this LP isn’t quite as memorable as the fold-open color photo on the first volume, the material included on this second volume is certainly a nice addition to any Elvis fans’ LP collection. While this material may have appeared elsewhere, this LPs collection of such stellar 50’s material makes it a definite “must have” as it just reaffirms Elvis’ status as the titles suggests “ The Rockin’ Rebel ” vol. 2.
