28 Little Bangers From Richard Hawley's Jukebox- 28 Little Bangers From Richard Hawley's Jukebox / Various
SKU: 029667016414
Double vinyl LP pressing. UK collection. Ace Records is thrilled to be working with seminal singer-songwriter, toast of this year's Olivier Awards and all-round Sheffield legend Richard Hawley on this, the first volume of a compilation series of some of his favorite singles. This is a selection of 28 7" singles that Richard has collected on his travels around the globe, through friends, family, collectors, word of mouth, thrift shop finds, pub jukebox gems and everything in between. Richard refers to the glue that joins these selections together as 'Little Bangers' as they are all mini hand grenades; bright lights that explode and fizzle out, some big names, some rarities, some lost souls, some obscurities, some by artists he actively enjoys knowing almost nothing about other than they want to get him on his feet and dance. Many are garage instrumentals, exposing the guitar-line as lead melody and the art of telling a story without lyrics. As Richard puts it, 'I'm fascinated by the 7-inch single because of the discipline of it. A 7-inch single can only contain a certain amount of information... So, you have to learn the discipline of cramming all that information and craft into a short space of time. If you imagine this album as a piece of bacon, there's absolutely no fat on it at all. It's just juicy meat. There aren't flabby recordings, they are very nimble. We're extra proud that the Hendrix Estate have allowed us to include Curtis Knight & The Squires' ferocious and never previously licensed "Hornet's Nest" which naturally we proudly kick off with.
