Reissues

Ace Records is a UK label that was conceived in the 70s by Ted Carroll, Roger Armstrong, and Trevor Churchill. Originally selling secondhand 45s on a London market stall, they later set up Chiswick Records and focused on releasing work by "pub rock" bands. As the 80s arrived, Ace shifted its focus to the reissue market and became known as Ace Records of Camden Town. Today, Ace has established itself as a reputable name in the reissue market with numerous sub-labels catering to various musical styles.

With an extensive catalog spanning R&B, blues, soul, funk, jazz, rock 'n' roll, folk, country, punk, rockabilly, psychobilly, cajun,z ydeco,and world music,Ace offers something for every music lover. In addition to their own releases,Ace frequently licenses and acquires labels like Flair and Modern which allows them to reissue original releases and compile new ones in different formats.

It's worth noting that LP releases from Ace have been reissued under the same cat# but with different label designs over time. When submitting requests or searching for specific releases,it's important to include both an indication of the label design present and supporting images if possible.

Vinyl variants, bonus material and signed editions exclusively available from Rough Trade.

Legendary international DJ, Keb Darge, fell under the spell of this music when his Japanese girlfriend forced him to go down to a ‘Rockabilly’ night back in 1989. As soon as the DJ dropped the needle on Johnny Burnette’s ‘Rockabilly Boogie’ Keb was mesmerized. He was soon hunting down the hideously rare top tunes and slipping thousands of pounds into specialist collectors like Boz Boorer’s back pocket, when the guitarist was not recording or touring with Morrissey. Of course, Keb was then taking these records and introducing them to new audiences in his DJ sets worldwide.

Although it has taken an age to persuade 
him, Keb has now applied his perfectionist compiling skills to pick 14 
killers to grace this fantastic collection. Ranging from the bopping 
Glen Glenn’s ‘Blue Jeans and A Boy’s Shirt’ to the almost hillbilly 
Jimmy Johnson’s ‘All Dressed Up’. This is a must-have compilation not 
only for those who have been oiling their quiffs for decades, but also 
those wondering what this “rockabilly” is all about. Keb drops you in at
 the deep end with no easy-going fillers, and you’ll be glad he did.

Keb has written the sleeve notes and with cover art by Robin Banks – this album looks as good as it sounds.
