The Shadows: British rock pioneers and one of the greatest instrumental groups of all time. Their smash hit “Apache” was revolutionary rock ‘n’ roll when it came out in 1960, and today it’s considered the first foundation of the Britpop movement that conquered the world in the Sixties. Brenda Lee was something else, a child-star born in Atlanta, USA, and one of the first pop singers to reach world fame. The raw power in her voice earned her the nickname “Little Miss Dynamite”, and she could mix country music and r&b like nobody else. This album brings together recordings from 1959 to 1962, and puts listeners right at the heart of a new phenomenon that was about to hit both sides of the Atlantic: pop rock. The Live in Paris collection by Michel Brillié allows listeners to hear previously-unreleased recordings (made at concerts and private- or radio-sessions) by the great 20th stars in jazz, rock & roll and song. These “live” takes, and the artists’ rapport with their audiences, gives these performances an additional soul and sensibility in counterpoint to the rigorous demands of studio recordings. Particular care was taken when restoring the sound of these tapes in order to meet modern standards while preserving the original colors of the period.
