Success on this astonishing scale was beyond the wildest dreams of the working class lad whose harsh childhood and brutal schooling put him on a collision course with Strangeways. But a short spell in prison helped propel Nail onwards and upwards. With the support of his friends and family, it wasn't long before Jimmy's unique talents and single-minded determination brought him attention of a different kind and changed his life for ever. In A Northern Soul, Jimmy Nail tells his own vivid story in this intriguing, inspiring and sometimes confounding account of how one man rose to fame and fortune by refusing to be anything but himself.

2011 collection that spotlights the influential catalog of this legendary label. Vee-Jay Records was founded in Gary, Indiana in 1953 by Vivian Carter and James C. Bracken (later that year, Mr. & Mrs. Bracken), who used their first initials for the label's name. The first song they ever recorded made it to the Top Ten of the national Rhythm & Blues charts. In a short time, Vee-Jay was the most successful black-owned record company in the United States. By 1963, they were charting records faster than some of the major labels. Vee-Jay were the first U.S. Company to have the Beatles and, in one month alone, in early 1964, they sold 2.6 million Beatles singles. Two years later, the company was bankrupt.

One of the most popular electric bluesmen of all time, Jimmy Reed's influence is unavoidable and easily heard on covers by such luminaries as the Grateful Dead, The Rolling Stones, Elvis Presley and Van Morrison's Them. Highlights of this collection are "Ain't That Lovin' You Baby", "Honest I Do", "Little Rain", and "Bright Lights Big City"- all of which were top ten hits on the rhythm and blues charts. The 18 tracks in this collection represent the best of his recorded output for Vee-Jay

Beatles' 5th member early works!!! Although probably best known through this fact, a smashing number like 'Billy's Bag' is chance to showcase Mr. Preston as a talented man in his own right. In the early 60's Preston had already made a name for himself as a very fine Piano and Hammond organ player of soul/jazz/R&B, recording with such artists as Sam Cooke or Little Richard. Preston's VeeJay solo recordings (all of them available here) made it to the Go-Go Clubs and Mod Joints all over the world as absolute 'Winners', such as 'The Birds & The Bees', 'Shotgun', 'The Octopus' and the self written biggie 'Billy's Bag'. 25 tracks. Digipak. Vampi Soul. 2003.

For a label that lasted only 13 years and closed in 1966, Vee-Jay Records left a large legacy, though one that is largely underrecognized. This four-disc retrospective provides a corrective, documenting the range and richness of the catalog from the Chicago rival to Chess Records. Many know Vee-Jay as the first American label to license the Beatles (not included here) and to introduce the Four Seasons ("Sherry" is). But the depth of this set lies in the signature classics by artists including bluesmen John Lee Hooker and Jimmy Reed, gospel greats the Staple Singers and Swan Silvertones, doo-wop groups such as the Spaniels and Sonny Til's Orioles, and soul singers Jerry Butler and Gene Chandler. The well-known artistry merely scratches the surface of the sets' delights, as those familiar with such hits as Linda Ronstadt's "You're No Good" and Soft Cell's "Tainted Love" will finds revelation in the Vee-Jay originals (by Betty Everett and Gloria Jones, respectively). An auspicious launch to what promises to be an ambitious reissue program. --Don McLeese
