Review by Cub Koda
Label-owner Art Rupe was a savvy businessman who knew the black jukebox
industry and what made it tick when he started his Specialty label in
the late-'40s. This sumptuous five-disc box set contains a bevy of
highlights from this seminal R&B/rock & roll label. Over the
years, Rupe recorded a little bit of everything; early big band jump
(the Liggins brothers), down-home blues and zydeco (Guitar Slim, Frankie
Lee Sims, Clifton Chenier), gospel (early Sam Cooke and the Soul
Stirrers), and doo wop (the Pentagons, Jesse Belvin). But with the
discovery of the label's biggest star, Little Richard, in 1955, here is
where the real story of rock & roll begins. A box set that no lover
of the real thing can be without.

Reseña de Cub Koda
El
dueño de la discográfica Art Rupe era un inteligente hombre de negocios
que conocía la industria de la rocola negra y lo que la hizo funcionar
cuando empezó su discográfica especializada a finales de los 40. Esta
suntuosa caja de cinco discos contiene un grupo de elementos destacados
de esta etiqueta seminal de R&B/rock & roll. A
lo largo de los años, Rupe grabó un poco de todo; los primeros saltos
de las grandes bandas (los hermanos Liggins), blues y zydeco (Guitar
Slim, Frankie Lee Sims, Clifton Chenier), gospel (los primeros Sam Cooke
y los Soul Stirrers), y doo wop (los Pentágonos, Jesse Belvin). Pero
con el descubrimiento de la mayor estrella del sello, Little Richard,
en 1955, aquí es donde comienza la verdadera historia del rock &
roll. Una caja que ningún amante de lo real puede prescindir.
