Label US

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 released work by "pub rock" bands. As the 80s arrived, Ace decided to focus on 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 various sub-labels catering to different 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 enthusiast. In addition to their own releases,Ace frequently licenses and acquires labels like Modern Blues Recordings and Flair from the Bihari Brothers,reissuing original releases and new compilations across various formats.

It's worth noting that LP releases under Ace often feature different label designs but carry the same cat#; therefore,it's important to refer to images when submitting or purchasing these records.Ace continues to be a trusted source for timeless music,releasing carefully curated collections that celebrate diverse genres while preserving musical heritage.

The original Stratocaster showman! Who set the standards for flash and guitar virtuosity? Johnny Guitar Watson! His self-titled 1963 King LP contains killer late 50s and early 60s material like Broke and Lonely, Cuttin In, his signature tune Gangster of Love, Sweet Lovin Mama and even his take on Embraceable You, complete with strings! This first ever US reissue is sourced from the original King reels and pressed on colored vinyl at RTI for optimal sound and style! Watson (1935-1996) kicked off his career as the teen dynamo of the Houston blues in the late 40's. When his parents separated in 1950, his mother took 15 year old John to LA, another blues/R&amp;B hotbed. He was billed as Young John Watson on his first records for Federal, a King Records subsidiary label, in 1952. That lasted two years. After he saw the 1954 Joan Crawford western Johnny Guitar, he became Johnny "Guitar" Watson forever. He\'d record again under that name for King in the late 50's and early 60's. Mastered by Bob Irwin from the original King reels, cut by Kevin Gray, and pressed on colored vinyl at RTI for optimal sound and style!
