Description

Jerry Lee Lewis emerged from the 60s in a drunken haze and belligerent frame of mind -- reborn as an unrivaled honky tonk superstar, far removed from the proto rock firebrand of the 50s. Now what? Go back to London, of course, where it all unraveled in controversy so many years before! Jerry Lee tears up a stylistically varied number of songs with a line-up of reverent British players who do their best to keep up with The Killer -- including Eric Clapton, Peter Frampton, Albert Lee, Alvin Lee, Gary Wright and many others. The results are for the most part a world away from the bleary-eyed honky tonk of Jerry Lee's previous work for Smash/Mercury -- with a sound more indebted to the Sun style, albeit more grandly-arranged, technically proficient, and informed by the later rock and soul. This 2CD set features the complete London sessions from 1973 -- released together, in non-truncated form for the first time ever! Includes liner notes by Colin Escott, a biographer with a great grasp of roots music from the 50s, 60s & 70s! 25 tracks on 2CDs: "Drinking Wine Spo-Dee O'Dee", "Music To The Man", "Baby What You Want Me To Do", "Bad Mood Rising", "Sea Cruise", "I Can't Get No (Satisfaction)", "Big Boss Man", "Memphis", I Can't Give You Anything But Love", "Trouble In Mind", "High School Confidential", "Singing The Blues", "Down The Line", "What'd I Day" and more! (Limited to 5000 non-numbered copies.)

This is the rare 2 disc version of this fantastic set, comes with full inlay art (see picture) and a full-colour booklet
