50's/ 60's Rock n' Roll R&B MIX
I started making a mix (quickly turning into a double album) of early rock n' roll shit. I was hoping some of you could turn me on to something I've been missing. Something true and gritty, and real. So far I have the "million dollar quartet"/ Sun Studio Boys, Link Wray, Ike Turner, Fats Domino, Buddy Holly, Everly Brothers, James Brown, Roy Orbison, Chuck Berry, Ricky Nelson, Richie Valens... Anyone got anything I seem to be missing? I have to wake up early and go job hunting, and I thought this would make the whole damn experience less depressing.

Give Gene Vincent's Be-bop A Lula a listen....closely.
I agree with all of the suggestions above, but I've been fascinated with this 1956 recording forever. It was cut in Owen Bradley's studio in Nashville for Capitol, and featured a new echo/reverb approach devised by engineer Mort Thomasson. Honestly.....I can't put my finger on it, but I've never ever heard a defter, more sophisticated use of echo/reverb on any recording then or now. I believe everything was mixed to mono.....the single, certainly.
Makes me shake my head......I like the sound of Sun's lo-fi chamber, and the big labels' underground tanks and plates, but I've just never heard anything else like Be-bop A Lula.
