Description

 









JOHNNY ACE INADVERTENTLY PIONEERED THE ROCK & ROLL CLICHÉ OF “LIVE FAST, DIE YOUNG, AND LEAVE A GOOD-LOOKING CORPSE”. ON CHRISTMAS DAY, 1954, ACE DIED AT THE AGE OF 25 AS A RESULT OF A SELF-INFLICTED GUNSHOT WOUND HE RECEIVED WHILE PLAYING RUSSIAN ROULETTE BACKSTAGE AT A SHOW IN HOUSTON, TX. NOT LONG AFTER “DUKE RECORDS” PREXY DON ROBEY COMPILED 12 OF THEM ON THIS “MEMORIAL ALBUM”. REMARKABLY ENOUGH, THIS LP FORGED THE SONIC PORTRAIT OF JOHNNY ACE THAT HAS SURVIVED TO THIS DAY, AND IT’S STILL A POWERFUL AND INDELIBLE SET OF SONGS –––– ORIGINAL 1955 ISSUE... THE COVER IS IN NICE SHAPE, THE HEAVY DEEP GROOVE VINYL DISC PLAYS VERY WELL WITH FAINT BACKGROUND NOISE...THE ONLY FLAW IS AUDIBLE ON THE FIRST TRACK WHERE SOME NOISE IS PRESENT FOR ABOUT HALF OF THE SONG...
