From the back cover: The background of the musicians is as unique as the music they present on their debut LP.

Walter Georis, who was born in Belgium, is the leader of the group. Although this is the band's first recording, one is immediately impressed by the professionalism of its leader. Walter, a senior in high school, started the group with the lead guitarist, John Blakeley, five years ago. The regard he has for his group, and the hopes he has for them, can easily be seen in the care he took in selecting the tunes for the album. Most of them are originals, bot only originals compositions, but original sounding compositions. Walther's rhythm guitar provides part of the foundation for the group to really let loose and swing.

Although his major interest is music, and specifically the group he leads, he also has a deep interest in photography. This is not merely an incidental hobby with him, but a deep knowledge and appreciation of the photographic arts. Walter's interest in the production of his first LP did not only extend to the music, but he also provided the record cover photo.

The lead guitarist, John Blakeley, is the other original member of the group that started five years ago. Other than his playing, the greatest contribution he made to the group's initial recording session are those original sounding compositions I mentioned earlier. John loves music, and he enjoys the success of the group, but of one thing he is adamant. "I don't want to make music a full-time career. I'm looking forward to studying psychology when I graduate from high school and eventually entering the ministry."

The band only occupies part of his time. A senior in high school, John finds that most of his time is spent with church activities and the responsibility of being president of his student body. He also holds several track records, but his interest in track has been sacrificed for the time he spends composing and playing.

John Gibson, the youngest member of The Sandells at sixteen, has been with the band for six months, although his training on the electric bass and guitar dates back six years. "I'd love to make music my career and if everything turns out, I will."

The drummer, Danny Brawner, has an enviable profession. One of the original surfers ("An oldie but goodie, you might say." says Danny. "I started surfing about ten years ago") he presently is employed putting the finishing touches on surfboards for a well-known manufacture. Danny's been playing the drums for almost as long as he's been surfing ("about eight years") and like John Gibson, he looks upon music as an ideal way to make a living.

Gaston Georis (Walter's older brother) rounds out the group. Gaston, who was also born in Belgium, received his high school education in Europe, then came to America to attend College where he received a degree in comparative literature and (dig this!) he now teaches French in high school. He speaks English, French, German, Spanish and Walloon (which is spoken in Belgium). His mastery of languages is equalled only by his musical versatility. On this record he is heard on piano, electric piano, clavietta, and various other rhythm instruments. "The clavietta," he explains, "is somewhat of a hybrid. It is a combination of the piano, harmonica and accordion." Geographically minded, Gaston pointed out that the clavietta has Italian origins. Gaston immediately named Bach as his musical favorite, and after some thought, he listed Dave Brubeck as a second choice. – Leslie Carter

How Do You Like It? - Gerry And The Pacemakers

From the back cover: I hadn't heard Gerry's Pacemakers before their earliest trip to Germany but I do know that they returned to Merseyside with toughened voices and a tremendous new playing power. Gerry had put a thick leather coating on his tonsils and his lungs had turned themselves into a pair of steel-lined echo chambers.

The three founders of Les Chadwick – had been singing and playing together for twelve months before their first Hamburg season at the beginning of 1961. For a brief experimental spell Gerry fronted a trio instead of a quartet until pianist Les Maguire completed the current line-up by becoming a Pacemaker in May, 1961. The following winter Gerry And The Pacemakers made a permanent name for themselves on the since-famous Mersey Beat ballroom and club circuit. Liverpool fans found Gerry's good-humor, infectious grin and top-gear singing style irresistible. The solid sounds of The Pacemakers rang out at frequent intervals through the cells and tunnels of city centre basements like the Cavern Club and the Iron Door Club. The following summer, in June 1962, the group singed an exclusive management/direction contract with Brian Epstein. He brought them to the attention of E.M.I. producer George Martin some months later when George visited Liverpool to talk about plans for a first LP album by The Beatles. George watched Gerry And The Pacemakers in action during a routine appearance on the bandstand of a Birkenhead ballroom. He was sufficiently impressed to declare that normal recording studio audition should be scrubbed and a full-scale session date was fixed. The product of that session was a Columbia single which carried Gerry And The Pacemakers plus the Mitch Murray composition How Do You Do It? to Silver Disc fame at the No. 1 spot on the hit parade. A couple of months later Mitch penned another number specially for the group. Entitled I Like It this second ditty took Gerry And The Pacemakers straight back to the pop peal and established them as one of the major Merseyside influences upon 1963 pop scene trends.

From the back cover: The smash hit recordings of Give Me Forty Acres (To Turn This Rig Around) by the Willis Brothers has spotlighted attention on the popularity of Truck Driver songs and on one of the greatest acts to ever appear on the stage of the Grand Ole Opry.

Guy, Skeeter and Vic – internationally known as The Willis Brothers – have three important first in the World Of Country Music. They were the first group to back the immortal Hank Williams. They were the "Drifting Cowboys" that accompanied Hank on many of his hit recordings. These boys were the first featured act on the nationally televised Jubilee U.S.A. show of Springfield, Missouri, and last, but by no means least, the Willis Brothers were the first Country Music group to give a concert in Constitution Hall in Washington, D.C., a place normally reserved for classical musicians.

Later on, in the middle 1950s, they were closely associated with the great Eddy Arnold, furnishing the music for Eddy's radio shows and performing with Eddy on many of his recordings.

The lure of the open road and the many road stops along America's highways seem to strike a chord with Country Music fans. The dangers that lurk on the highway, the lonely hours at the wheel, the coffee shops, the juke boxes, and pretty waitresses are all a very real part of truck driver's work and many of America's best selling Country song hits have resulted.

Vic Willis says: "Who should be better qualified to sing about the truck drivers of America than a group of Country musicians who traveled from 75,000 to 150,000 mile per year making personal appearances throughout the country. The Willis Brothers stop at the truck stops to share meals, jokes, interesting experiences, road information, and weather reports with the men who drive the big rigs. We have always found the drivers to be courteous, friendly and ready to lend a helping hand. In addition, it seems that truck drivers are usually avid fans of Country Music. So with this in mind, I want to join with my brothers Guy and Skeeter so that the Willis Brothers can dedicate this album to the truck drives of America."

It takes a lot of skill and know how to handle a big rig and bring the load in on schedule. It also takes an ability to keep alert; a willingness to leave home; and last, but by no means least, it takes a person who will maintain the professional truck driver reputation as the most capable and most considerate drivers on America's highways. It is significant that America's juke boxes enjoy the heaviest play in locations where truck drivers congregate. It is significant that Country Music disc jockeys get a vast amount of mail and requests from truck drivers and their wives and sweethearts.

Perhaps it is the long lonely hours on the road that are spent listening to radio, perhaps it is the romance from chance acquaintances as truck drivers go from town to town, from truck stop to road stop, from cafe to cafe. Whatever it is, the life of the truck driver, just like the lore of the railroad, the lot of the cowboy, and the lore of the outlaws and gunfighters, has captured the fancy of a large segment of our population.

Now let's get back to the Willis Brothers who began their career at Radio KGFF in Shawnee, Oklahoma during the 30's thereafter going to the Brush Creek Follies Show on KMBC at Kansas City, Missouri. World War II interrupted their career temporarily, but after four years in the service, they became regular members of Radio WSM's internationally famous Grand Ole Opry which is based in Nashville, Tennessee, the Country Music Capitol Of The World.

Guy is the oldest of the three Willis Brothers and is the very capable master of ceremonies for their stage show. He plays guitar and handles the lead vocals. Skeeter is known as the smiling fiddler, while Vic, the baby brother, plays both accordion and piano. They all pick and sing and write songs.

The Willis Brothers have developed an outstanding stage show that entertains at dances, on the stage, at banquets, and at schools or churches. They can vary their show according to the audience and they can perform a wide range of ballads, novelties, instrumentals and sacred songs.

The recordings in this album were made at the Starday Sound Studios in Nashville with Tommy Hall in charge of artists and repertoire, assisted by Jack "Hoss" Linneman at the controls. Recordings were made in stereo and have been remixed for maximum monaural sound quality. This is another Country Music album presentation by Starday Records, a label devoted exclusively to Country and Scared music. – Don Pierce, President - Starday Records

From the back cover: It was in 1959 that The Browns released on RCA Victor a record called The Three Bells (Les Trois Choches). It became one of the year's biggest hits and sold over a million copies for the trio from Arkansas – Jim Edward, Maxine and Bonnie Brown. Until that time The Browns were established country stars, but with The Three Bells they became pop headliners and yet remained favorites with their country fans, a feat many performers never accomplish. A true "family act," The Browns (brother Jim Edward, sisters Maxine and Bonnie) have a wonderfully warm voice blend that's distinctive, appealing, and a hallmark of all the "Bests" in this collection. – A&R Coordinator: Mike Lipskin

What Locks The Door - Jack Greene

Jack Greene
Decca Records STEREO DL 74939

Decca Records, A Division of MCA, Inc.
1967

From the back cover: The year of 1967 will undoubtedly be inscribed in the annals of country music as the year in which a personable young man by the name of Jack Greene departed from his role as a featured member of the famed Ernest Tubb Texas Troubadours to strike out on his own as a solo performer. This latest album by him – titled, naturally enough, after his currently popular single record hit – offers further proof that he has already achieved an honored place among the great names in country music.

Though the Jack Greene story seems to be one of "overnight stardom," it is in fact a success story prefaced by hard and diligent work in his chosen career. The years 1944 through 1958 found this young man from Maryville, Tenn., active as a member in some of the top country music groups in the nation, including Atlanta's WSB-TV Peachtree Cowboys. Except for a short interruption from 1951-53, while he served as a member to the U.S. Army combat engineers, his fame throughout the land, as his popularity grew through his featured roles on local TV shows and 'in person' engagements.

It was not until 1962, however, and the chance to join the Ernest Tubb band, that the Jack Greene dream of success began to become a reality. During his years with this group, it was afforded the opportunity to record a series of Decca albums without its leader, and Jack got immediate attention with his great performance of a song penned by the late Rex Griffen titled The Last Letter, which went on to become the most programmed cut from the album and resulted in a Decca contract for him as a solo performer. He had moderate record success following The Last Letter until he recorded There Goes My Everything, which quickly shot up to the No. 1 spot on all the best-selling country music charts and was quickly followed by an album of the same title which achieved similar success. Jack's next record venture, soon after leaving the Tubb band, was an album and single titled All The Time – and the rest, as they say, is country music history.

About Stan Getz

Since the late 1940s, when Stan Getz drew nation attention to his tenor sax with his lyrical solo on Woody Herman's Early Autumn, he has built an impressive career in jazz out of his gift for melodic improvisation. His sound is soft and warm, but takes on a firm edge on peppy tempos. The wide variety of jazz experience he has crammed into his 35 years includes work with the bands of Jimmy Dorsey, Benny Goodman, Stan Kenton, Woody Herman, Jack Teagarden, and Bob Chester, among others he has been leader of his own group since 1951, and has played in most of the leading cities of the world. He recently returned to this country after nearly three years of residence in Denmark. He has won scores of awards from jazz publications the world over, including in this country, Metronome's annual poll for 11 straight years, Down Beat's annual poll for 10 years, Playboy's annual poll for four consecutive years, and top awards in Down Beat's Critic's Poll. Melody Maker's Reader's Poll in Germany, and many others.

About Charlie Byrd

One of the few guitarists in jazz to use the unamplified instrument. Byrd hails from a family of guitarists. He was born, 36 years ago, in Suffolk Va., and grew up in a community with a large Negro population. His early exposure to music was to blues guitarists and singers, and to Negro gospel music. Byrd's father and three brothers played guitar, and Charlie followed in the tradition by starting on mandolin and guitar at the age of 10. While in the U. S. Army during World War II, he played guitar in a band, jammed with Django Reinhardt and was exposed to modern jazz in the mid-1940s, he worked with Freddie Slack, Joe Marsala, Barbara Carroll and Sol Yaged, among others. He settled in Washington to study with Sophocles Papas, widely-known guitar teacher. In 1954, an audition with Andres Segovia led to an invitation for Charlie to study with Segovia in Italy that Summer. He still lives in Washington and works there and in other top jazz locations with his trio.

About The Rhythm Section

Keter (William Thomas) Betts began as a drummer, but switched to bass after-graduating from high school in 1946. He worked with Earl Bostic, Dinah Washington, and Nat and Cannonball Adderley's group before settling in Washington and locating with Charlie Byrd's group. He is a native of Port Chester, NY, and is 33 years old.

Gene Byrd is Charlie's 24-year old brother, making his recording debut on this album. He was a senior at the Peabody Conservatory in Baltimore when the sides were recorded.

Two drummers were used because, as Byrd noted, "This is what the Brazilians do. Both drummers play simple patterns, and together they swing." Buddy (William H.) Deppenschmidt is 25 years old and played for Byrd for a year and a half. Although he left the group recently, he returned to make the album. He made the South American tour with Charlie and participated on Byrd's three recent albums. He is currently with Billy Butterfield. Bill Reichebach recently joined Byrd on drums. His experience includes work with Tommy Dorsey's band and as rhythm man with Georgia Gibbs, among others.

From Billboard - January 27, 1951: This is samba as played for the "society" clique in class clubs – lush strings and woodwinds. The tempos vary from selection to selection, with some just a little too slow for neophytes who may be Arthur Murray students. In all, tho, the clan who still consider the samba the number one Latin American dance will go for this collection. One side, "Come To The Mardi Gras" includes a vocal by an unidentified femme. Tune selection ranges from standards to the lesser known melodies.

RCA Victor LPM 3044 (10 inch 33 RPM)

1952

From the back cover: The great tunes gathered together on this disc are a souvenir of one of the most popular singing shows ever heard on radio – The Perry Como-Chesterfield "Supper Club." Signed by Chesterfield soon after his phenomenal rise to fame, Perry's been presiding over the thrice-weekly Chesterfield show (now seen as well as heard on TV), with his own inimitable brand of casual charm for over six years.

Perry's relaxed, easy-going way of doing anything is deceptive. He might even strike the casual observer as a lazy guy who doesn't get much accomplished. Actually, Perry works hard – just as he has since he was eleven. In addition to his TV shows for Chesterfield, he journey's regularly to Hollywood to make movies and has frequent date at RCA Victor recording studios to make records. And, in addition, there are all the time-consuming activities required of a prince of the entertainment kingdom – the conferences with managers, press agents and publicity men, personal appearances, charity shows and a dozen and one other demands on his time. One thing that keeps Perry young and healthy through it all is his relaxed, unhurried attitude. Another is the fact that his sometimes hectic public life is based on a regular domestic routine for Perry is devoted to his home and family.

His home is in a comfortable town on North Shore of Long Island, and his family consists of his wife, Roselle, sons Ronnie and David, and his daughter, Terri. Perry spends all his spare time with them. For relaxation, he likes golf, swimming, badminton, and fooling around with his notable collection of pipes.

His devotion to his family nearly cost him his career. When Ronnie was born, in 1940, Perry and Roselle were on the road with Ted Weems' band, with which Perry was featured vocalist, playing one-night stands around the country. Perry frankly hated the constant traveling; he'd been doing it for five years with Weems, and before that that for two years with Freddie Carolone's orchestra, with whom he had started out in 1933.

Perry stuck it out with Weems for two more years, more and more convinced it was no life for a baby. (Sometimes, he says, "we had to heat Ronnie's pablum on the car radiator.") When Weems broke up his band in December, 1942, to go into service, Perry went back to his native Cannonsburg, Pa., swearing he'd go back to his original trade of barbering before he'd go back on the road with a band. Determined to have a home life for his family, he refused several lucrative offers with name bands; but when he got a chance to have a sustaining radio show which would permit him to have a fairly permanent home he accepted and went to New York.

The rest, as the man said, is history. A two-week engagement at the Copacabana stretched out to eight; Hollywood beckoned imperiously; and RCA Victor hastened to sign him up. Within a year he was crowding Crosby, Sinatra and Haymes at the top of the ladder.
