10-CD Box (LP-Format) mit 64-seitigem Buch, 226 Einzeltitel. Spieldauer ca. 715 Minuten. -- Jerry Lee Lewis’ Geschichte seiner letzten acht Jahre bei Mercury besteht aus verdammt guten Country-Songs und Jerry Lees Rock 'n' Roll Revival Show. Die zehn CDs in dieser Box erzählen diese Story. – Zwischen 1970 und 1973 gelangten fast alle Singles von Jerry Lee Lewis in der Top 20 der Country-Charts. Zu seinen großen Erfolgen zählten 'There Must Be More To Love Than This' und 'Would You Take Another Chance On Me / Me And Bobby McGee'. Diese Box setzt sich mit den erfolgreichsten Jahren in der langen Karriere von Jerry Lee auseinander, die zugleich von großen Sorgen geprägt waren. Die Aufnahmen dokumentieren seine musikalische Reise von großen Countryerfolgen zurück in die Kirche bis hin zu seiner triumphalen Rückkehr zum Rock ‘n’ Roll mit 'Chantilly Lace'. In dieser Box finden Sie alle zwischen 1970 und 1978 aufgenommenen Langspielplatten - mit Ausnahme der ‚London Sessions‘ und der Live-Alben, die separat veröffentlicht werden. Die Aufnahmen der von Huey P. Meaux produzierten 'Southern Roots'-Session, einschließlich aller unvollendeter Fassungen und unveröffentlichten Titeln, sind ebenso dabei wie 'The Killer Rocks On', sein Gospel-Album 'In Loving Memories' und zehn weitere Original Mercury-LPs. Hinzu kommen insgesamt mehr als vierzig ursprünglich unveröffentlichte Aufnahmen, die hiermit erstmals auf CD herausgekommen sind. Die Soundqualität der neu gemasterten CDs konnte wesentlich verbessert werden, und das Begleitbuch besticht mit zahlreichen bislang unbekannten Fotos, neu recherchierten Texten, Anmerkungen von Colin Escott zu allen Aufnahmen und einer ebenfalls neu erstellten Diskografie von Ari Bass.
10-CD box (LP-size) with 64-page book, 226 tracks. Playing time approx. 715 mns. -- Damn Good Country Songs and Jerry Lee's Rock 'n' Roll Revival Show. That was the story of the last eight years of Jerry Lee Lewis on Mercury Records...the story told on these 10 CDs. -- Between 1970 and 1973, nearly every Jerry Lee Lewis single entered the country Top 20, including such classic country chart-toppers as 'There Must Be More To Love Than This' and 'Would You Take Another Chance On Me / Me And Bobby McGee'. The years covered by this boxed set were the most consistently successful of Jerry Lee's career, but they were troubled years too. This set chronicles his journey from country chart-topper back to the church, and his triumphant return to rock 'n' roll with 'Chantilly Lace'. All the classic albums from 1970 to 1978 are included complete (with the exception of the ‘London Sessions’ and the live albums, which will be issued separately). The Huey P. Meaux-produced 'Southern Roots' session is here together with all the unissued cuts and out-takes, as well as 'The Killer Rocks On', the rare gospel album 'In Loving Memories', and ten other original Mercury LPs. In addition, there are more than 40 recordings not originally issued by Mercury in the Seventies making their first appearance on CD here. This set also features upgraded sound and includes previously unpublished photos, a newly researched text and session-by-session notes by Colin Escott, and a newly researched discography by Ari Bass.
