Billy
Fury – The
Sound Of Fury Demos
CD
Album
Earmark
Raw
demos of Billy Fury's first album, which some consider to be the
U.K.'s first rock n' roll record. Sun Records recordings as imagined
by a Liverpool lad. The bootleg quality of these recordings expose
the vision of a young Fury, and its quite remarkable that at the
time, when music was so processed in England; here was an artist
willing to write original material. What happened afterwards is that
Fury recorded a full version of The
Sound of Fury that made
an huge impression on future rock n' rollers.
Rockabilly
teen pop tunes that reeks of innocence but with a dark edge that
comes up time-to-time. What's interesting to me is that it is rock,
but it's rock with a Liverpool accent. Not an imitation of Elvis,
but sort of building on the image of Elvis that would work for Billy.
This album is for the hardcore Billy fan, but for those who want to
study rock n' roll mythology will find these recordings to be of
great interest.
