Additional information
Personnel: Malcolm Yelvington (vocals, guitar); Jake Ryles (vocals); Gordon Mashburn, Roland Janes (guitar); Franky Tolle, Lavern Fleming (piano); Billy Weir, Otis Jett (drums). Recording information: 706 Union, Memphis, TN (10/10/1954-10/05/1957); Covington, TN (10/10/1954-10/05/1957); Meteor Studio, Memphis, TN (10/10/1954-10/05/1957). Illustrators: Colin Escott; R.A. Andreas; Martin Hawkins. Photographers: Colin Escott; R.A. Andreas; Martin Hawkins. Malcolm Yelvington had the good fortune to meet Sam Phillips just as the latter was starting to get truly ambitious with his Sun Records label. He had the bad fortune, however, to cut his debut for Sun just one record after Elvis Presley's "That's All Right," and also to have been born in 1918 -- that put him a little on the old side as rock & roll started sweeping the airwaves. The 28 sides here, representing Yelvington's work on both Sun and the Bihari Brothers' competing Meteor label (cut under an alias), demonstrate the bind that Yelvington found himself in -- he and his band could play rockabilly with the best of them, maybe not with the exact youthful edge that Elvis brought to the music, but it was still solid rock & roll. But his rockabilly was just a little too much hillbilly (and country) and not enough rock & roll for the audience they were aiming at in 1954-1955. And it's clear that Yelvington's heart is really in the country ballads "Mr. Blues" and "First and Last Love," rather than the bouncy, rocking "Yakety Yak" and the pounding "Drinkin' Wine Spo-Dee-O-Dee" (his actual Sun debut). But that was then, when the target audience was under 21 and busy living in the moment -- heard today, this is all first-rate music, whatever genre Yelvington is working in, and the playing on "Did I Ask You to Stay" also shows off some superb playing by the Star Rhythm Boys, his backing band. As usual with Bear Family Records, the sound, the annotation, and the session information are the best available, and the listening, in this instance, is highly rewarding. Yelvington was never able to cash in on the rock & roll boom, but found success in music 30 years later as one of the originals if not one of its stars, and in doing so became a star belatedly in Europe. This is where it all started, and it's a bracing account of a talent that took too long to be appreciated properly. ~ Bruce Eder

Fantastic seller! My item took longer than normal to arrive but that's due to them sending me the wrong dvd. Not to worry though, I contacted them and they arranged for the correct dvd to be sent out. My item has now arrived and the dvd was in excellent condition (brand new as described) and it was very well packaged. I would also like to say that the value for money is excellent. I highly recommend this seller, thank you so much! The issue with the wrong dvd was quickly rectified .

No communication needed with seller, so don't know what to rate with regards to communication (please dont take lack of feedback on this matter as a negative). Thanks again.

This vinyl is really reasonably priced and I love that it is one of the more unusual colours. It arrived well packaged, undamaged and looks as described. It arrived late, due to Royal Mail's Festive rush, but was dispatched by the seller really quickly. When I contacted them to ask where it was, they replied really quickly with a helpful solution. Such good customer service, so strongly recommend. Really happy with my purchase.
