The next batch of ABR reissues arrives on MARCH 10, 2009 and features music from THE PALEY BROTHERS, BLUE OYSTER CULT, GRAHAM PARKER, and BERNIE TAUPIN.
Before making his mark producing albums from such iconic musicians as Brian Wilson, Jerry Lee Lewis and even Madonna (!), Andy Paley teamed up with his brother Jonathan to record the power-pop classic The Paley Brothers. Never before released on CD in the U.S. (there was a brief Japanese release that is now selling for $200 on Amazon), this gem has become one of the most sought after albums of the '70's. The Paley Brothers recieved a 4 1/2 star review in All Music Guide...pure pop for now people!
With Sandy Pearlman back in the producer's chair, Blue Oyster Cult had yet another hit album with the release of Club Ninja. Originally released in 1985, B.O.C. continued their streak of chart success with "Dancin' In The Ruins" climbing all the way to #9 on the Mainstream Rock Tracks chart. This is B.O.C. at their best: loud and hard!
Although already a veteran of the English pub-rock scene when his first solo record came out in 1976, his American record label decided to market Graham Parker in the same "angry young man" vein as fellow countryman Elvis Costello. The fact of the matter is that Parker had more in common with the likes of Van Morrison and the Rolling Stones than the punk scene that he was being equated with. The Up Escalator, Parker's fifth studio release (and last with his great backing band, The Rumour), features a duet with Bruce Springsteen and more of the gritty, non-nonsense rock & roll that made Graham a darling of the rock critics. A must have!
Best known as the lyricist for most of Elton John's biggest hits, Bernie Taupin recorded his own mini-masterpiece in 1980 with the release of He Who Rides The Tiger. Guests include Elton himself, David Foster, Tom Scott and Jeff Porcaro, but what is most striking is Bernie's fantastic voice. It is amazing that this album did not strike gold on the radio when it was released. It has become quite a collector's item, though, with Japanese pressings of the CD fetching well over $100 on eBay and Amazon.

American Beat Records is in your extended network view more
On January 9th 2007, American Beat Records music label was launched with the release of our first batch of classic reissue CD’s. Included in that first batch were discs from such artists as Brian Setzer, Gary U.S. Bonds, George Jones, Ian Hunter and Graham Parker. Since those first releases, we have continued to add to our reissue library on a monthly basis. Our roster now includes Joe Jackson, Haircut 100, Chuck Berry, Nils Lofgren, Willie Nelson and many other top-notch artists.
American Beat Records "Tribute To" series was conceived to pay tribute to the greatest artists of our time (The Beatles, Johnny Cash, The Rolling Stones and many more). The difference between the "Tribute To" series and other tributes on the market is that we have filled each and every CD with Grammy Award winners and chart topping artists, not the unknowns that you will find elsewhere. Not only will these CD's appeal to the fans of the artists that are paid tribute to, but they will also appeal to fans of the performers on each CD; a win-win situation! We have once again assembled these tributes by genre to insure that if a customer likes one song on the CD, they should like every one!
THE SIXTIES SERIES:
A decade of great rock & roll wrapped up in one series; it's American Beat Records "The Sixties Series"! Six CD's, 59 songs, and an amazing 58 of those are Billboard-charting tunes (including 55 Billboard Top 20 hits - 17 of those #1 songs). As always, American Beat Records only uses original artists-original hits; not inferior re-recordings. Every song on every American Beat Records CD is the same version that you heard on the radio. You won't find "Born To Be Wild" followed by "Moon River" here; every CD in the Sixties Series follows the American Beat Records credo that if you like one song on the CD, you should like them all - they're that focused!
THE SEVENTIES SERIES:
What American Beat Records did for the 60's, we're now doing for the 70's: putting the best rock music together in a well-focused series called "The Seventies Series". Although each CD contains the best of the best rock music of the 70's, each CD spotlights a well defined area of rock music so that if one song appeals to a customer, all of them will. Hard rock fans have "Hard Rockin' 70's Vol. 1 & 2"; soft rock fans have "Soft Seventies Gold Vol. 1 & 2"; even bubblegum-music fans have their own CD! Out of the 80 songs presented in this series, 70 songs have charted in Billboard (with 51 Top 20 hits and 18 #1 hits)!!!
THE COVERED BY SERIES:
Have you ever gone to a concert by one of your favorite performers and the highlight of the show is when they played a song that you didn't expect them to perform? The idea behind American Beat Records "Covered By" series was to take the greatest singers of our time and have them perform some of our favorite songs from some of today's greatest songwriters, and watch the sparks fly! We've got superstars such as Aretha Franklin, Johnny Cash and The Beach Boys covering songs written by Lennon & McCartney, Bruce Springsteen, Paul Simon, Kris Kristofferson and many more of today's premier songwriters. A true one-of-a-kind collection!
THE GREETINGS FROM SERIES:
American Beat Records "Greetings From" series was developed to capture the essence of the greatest cities, states, and regions in the good old USA. Although each CD will sell extremely well in the area that it represents, every one is filled with national chart-toppers that appeal throughout the world. As with all of American Beat Records audio series, "Greetings From" is genre specific and very well focused; if your customer likes one song on the CD, they should love them all! This series features 68 (out of 82) charting songs, with 57 Top 20 Hits (29 of those #1 Hits).
THE ALL-TIME GREATEST SERIES:
The "All-Time Greatest" series is simply what the title states; the all-time greatest hits in each particular genre featured on that CD. Since American Beat Records is an independent music label, we are able to collect songs from all of the major labels and put them on one CD. That is something you will not find on any of the major label releases; the major labels always pull from on-roster artists. "All-Time Greatest" also offers something else that you won't find on the major labels: well-defined, focused and genre dedicated releases. This series features 132 songs; 113 of these songs have charted in Billboard Magazine, with 101 being Top 20 Hits (44 of those were #1 Hits).
