Everly Brothers were the Royalty of Rock. With the possible exception of Flamingos, they are our favorite vocal-based Rock'n'Roll band EVER. Nothing and nobody - certainly no white performer - ever came close to the celestial harmonies Brothers were capable of producing. The importance of the Everlies in the development of modern Rock aesthetics cannot possibly be overestimated. They are simply one of the critical pillars of Rock'n'Roll. Regrettably, the better the Everly Brothers became, the poorer they sold. By almost universal acclaim, the Brothers two best albums of their career were "twin" albums issued in 1963 and 1964 (Rock'n Soul and Beat n'n Soul, respectively, and both impossible to find in any format). We have here first of the two albums, the 1963 "Rock 'n Soul", which, as the title suggests, includes a variety of R&B and classic Rock'n'Roll covers and songs by Little Richard, Dale Hawkins, Elvis Presley, Ray Charles, Fiestas, Wilbert Harrison, Chuck Berry, Buddy Holly (whose final charting hit "Love is strange" Everlys initially declined to record), and Martha Reeves and the Vandellas. What is particularly interesting is Don Everly's guitar playing which we can only characterize as AWESOME. It has to be heard to be believed. The Brothers are positively ROCKING on this one, and we guarantee that you will, too.  Your rock'n'roll education is (very) deficient and flawed without this album. Track listing: That'll be the day - So Fine - Maybelline - Dancing in the street - Kansas City - I got a woman - Love Hurts - Slippin' and Slidin' - Suzie Q - Hound Dog - I'm gonna move to the outskirts of town - Lonely weekends

·       CONDITION:

·       RECORD

(IMPORTANT NOTE: unless otherwise noted, ALL records are graded visually, and NOT play-graded!; we  grade records under the strong, diffuse room light or discrete sunlight)

(a)          WE GRADE THE VINYL AS STRONG VERY GOOD+ . CAUTION: The vinyl is NOT MINT or NEAR MINT, but is nevertheless in a very nice and clean condition. There are some surface marks and abrasions, mostly light and superficial, although some may be longer than 1.1/4 inches (1 inch = 2.5 centimeters)

(b)          The record comes in the original stock inner sleeve.

(c)           The record is pressed on a beautiful, thick, inflexible vinyl, which was usually used for the first or very early pressings. Usually, the sound on such thick vinyl pressings is full-bodied, vivid, and even dramatic. Do not expect to obtain such a majestic analog sound from a digital recording!

(d)          Of course, this is a full-bodied ANALOG recording, and not an inferior, digital recording!!!

·       COVER

THE COVER IS ABOUT VERY GOOD+(+)

The following flaws or imperfections are noted on the cover:

-         Back cover has a few yellowish dust speckles scattered across the entire back panel

-         Cover has two corners slightly worn / frayed / bent (just a beginning of the split seam)
