[1928-1952] 4-CD set. Noel Coward’s theatrical talents seemed almost limitless. He established himself as a boy star before the First World War
and, ever resilient, he stayed at the top for most of his life. These newly remastered sides are a revelation - confirmation that as performer, composer
and penetratingly witty lyricist, he was without equal. ABy the final (1951) recording here, Coward was as famous in the United States as he was
in Britain. After hearing this material, it’s easy to see why. [Item Code: 64536 4-CD: $30.00]

No One But My Darlin’ (Collective Personnel: James H ‘Jimmy’ Martin, Birch Monroe, Carter Stanley, Ed Mayfield, Vassar Clements, Joel Price,
Rudy Lyle, Merle ‘Red’ Taylor, Tommy Jackson, Grady Martin, Jimmy Selph, Ferris Coursey, Owen Bradley, Ernie Newton, Gordon Terry, Charlie
Cline, Ernie Newton, more) [1950-1958] 4-CD set. By 1950, when this collection opens, Bill Monroe was a seasoned performer. His greatest
claim to fame was as the creator of Bluegrass - a fusion of many musical strands into something uniquely
American. An earlier set of Bill Monroe material (JSP 7712) dealt with his recordings up to late 1949. This
second volume covers the era when he met the threat of rock ‘n’ roll - better than most it must be said.
Indeed, one of Bill’s compositions, Blue Moon Of Kentucky, was an early part of Elvis Presley’s repertoire.
The mature star is featured here - with all of his virtuosity and vigour on display. His band members include
masters like Rudy Lyle and Jimmy Martin and stars of the calibre of Carter Stanley (who had briefly separated
from brother Ralph) and Don Stover. Included here are the Jimmie Rodgers sides that Monroe recorded as
a tribute to an early inspiration. Controversial at the time, they continue to divide opinion - some regarding
them as an aberration, others seeing them as a progressive pointer to the future of Bluegrass. Cutting records
was a minor part of the Monroe schedule. He was almost permanently on tour. Elvis Presley’s version of Blue
Moon Of Kentucky rode high on the charts. Songwriting royalties were the happy result. And he still had a
regular Opry spot. With the 1960s came new interest in folk roots and an upward surge in Bill’s career. By
then he’d performed for four American presidents. It’s no surprise that he was a national treasure. Select any
of the tracks here and be transported into a world of matchless artistry, hard-won sentiment and a sense of
what it was (and hopefully, still is) to be American. [Item Code: 64537 4-CD: $30.00]
