Johnny Burnette and the Rock 'n Roll Trio is the 1956 debut album of the influential rockabilly band The Rock and Roll Trio, fronted by Johnny Burnette. Recorded over two separate sessions in 1956, the album includes a number of the band's singles. 2008's Icons of Rock calls the album "an all-time rockabilly classic". Released by Coral Records in December 1956 (#10041), it was released again in 1957 (#57080) and in 1978 by Solid Smoke (#8001). In 1993, it was released on compact disc by Aris Records (MCD 30489). 1998's Go Cat Go!: Rockabilly Music and Its Makers characterizes the CD reissue as "legendary and essential."

Background

When the Memphis-based Rock and Roll Trio relocated to New York in the hopes of finding the fame that had eluded them in their native South, they signed with Coral Records and entered the studio, recording a total of 25 tracks for the label over three sessions between May 7, 1956 and March 22, 1957. The first session took place on May 7, 1956 at the Pythian Temple in New York City. The second series took place almost two months later and over eight hundred miles away, at the Owen Bradley Studio in Nashville, Tennessee from July 2 through July 5. Tracks from those two sessions, including several singles by the band, were collected and released in December 1956 as the band's first album. The band's recordings have exerted a strong influence over subsequent rockabilly artists, although the band did not themselves enjoy broad success at the time. The Encyclopedia of Recorded Sound indicates an ever more widespread influence, suggesting that "the sheer verve and energy communicated by the brother's records influenced the aesthetics of British and American rock stars in the 1960s and 1970s."

Songs

A number of the songs are regarded as classics of the rockabilly genre, particularly the trio-penned "Tear It Up", released on single on June 5, 1956, and their definitive cover of "Train Kept A'Rollin'". "Tear It Up" did not enter the charts, but enjoyed regional popularity and has subsequently been covered by a number of artists, including Charlie Feathers, Rod Stewart and Stray Cats. Even though the song was the band's first single on Coral, it was not originally included in the album, appearing on the CD rerelease.

Other singles, however, were, including their biggest seller, "Train Kept A'Rollin'". The Rough Guide Music USA indicates the band is best known for their rendition of this song. In Billy Poore's Rockabilly: A Forty-Year Journey, he describes the single "Train Kept A'Rollin'", backed with "Honey Hush", as "two of the best all-time rockabilly cuts ever", "what pure, scorching, unrestrained rockabilly music should sound like". Among its notable features, "Train Kept A'Rollin'" displayed a ground-breaking fuzz guitar. This resulted from an accident, when a valve in the amplifier of the guitarist Paul Burlison came loose during the drive to the studio. The distorted sound that resulted proved so popular that Burlison intentionally repeated it in future performance.

·                               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)          CAUTION: The vinyl is only FAIR TO GOOD- with significant scratching and loss of sheen and lustre, and probably not suitable for repeated, continued playing. Nevertheless, the record plays fine and without skipping. This record WAS play-graded.

(b)          A note about the condition of this record: as you can see,  the condition of this album is nowhere near mint or near mint; however, we will never stop marveling at how these old records, despite their wear and tear STILL manage to play almost two levels above their visual grade. Simply put: the record plays much better than it looks (probably in the G++ to VG- range, play-graded).

(c)           This album is presented here mostly for its historical value and as a very rare item, which can be exceedingly difficult to find in any other condition

(d)          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!

(e)           The record has a "deep groove" (an indent in the label about 1/2-inch from the edge of the label, which on SOME labels is associated with very early or first pressings).

(f)            This is the original flat-edge pressing.

(g)          Stereo copies of this album are NOT known to exist.

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

-         Cover shows some light yellowing on both sides, apparently from aging   (nothing significant).
