Various Teenage Blues: Primitive Rockabilly And Hillbilly Bop From The Starday Custom Series (3-CD)

(2013/Fantastic Voyage) 99 tracks - digipac
 -
The concept of vanity or custom record pressing was certainly not originated by Starday Records in 1954, but it was a no-brainer to a new record company; rural artists without a recording contract could pay upfront to have the record company press a limited run of discs (usually 300), which the artist could then use to promote live appearances with local radio stations and, sometimes, sell to fans at their gigs. It was a no-risk venture for the record company as they would not lose any money if the records didn’t sell, but they were in prime position to take advantage if the song, the recording or the artist began to achieve wider popularity, while the advantage for the artist in having your record custom pressed was that you were not placed at the mercy of a record company A&R man trying to guide you into producing something that would be more commercially viable – you could keep your own style, produce the music you wanted to make and, thus, keep your musical integrity.
 -
In the period 1953-1970, there were well over 700 singles pressed by Starday in this fashion, and the compiler has cherry-picked 101 of the best in the rockabilly or hillbilly bop genres. Because of their absolute rarity and extreme collectability, they are some of the most sought-after and, thus, expensive singles of all time and we feel comfortable in suggesting that, track for track, Teenage Blues contains probably the most valuable set of recordings you will ever own.
