Acrobat Records in the U.K. have been responsible for many reissues of classic music by artists such as Frank Sinatra, Patsy Cline, Willie Nelson and Jerry Lee Lewis down to compilations from various small labels. Their catalog covers just about every genre from every era.
Up until now, the Acrobat releases were only available through stores that carried imports but, starting October 21, the label will begin releasing new titles in the United States.
The October 21 release includes fourteen titles:
Yesterday's Gone - Chad & Jeremy
On the Air - Rosemary Clooney
Giants of the Big Band Era - Benny Goodman
Cleared for Take Off - Jefferson Airplane
The Early Years - Gladys Knight
On the Radio: The Chesterfield Broadcasts 1939-40 - Glen Miller
In the Still of the Night - Five Satins
Live in Concert - Glen Campbell
Broadcast Sessions 1958-59 - Miles Davis
Live - Merle Haggard
Live - B.B. King
Live at the Flamingo Jazz Club - Carmen McRae
On the Radio: The Lucky Strike "Lite-Up Time Shows" 1949-50 - Frank Sinatra
Sing the Blues - Ike & Tina Turner
Most of the concert and radio show albums have never seen release before in the U.S. Others, like the Ike & Tina Turner and Chad & Jeremy, are compilations with some of their best known songs and lesser known album tracks.
Then, on November 11, the label will release Rockin' the Blues: Live in Germany 1964 by Howlin' Wolf. This November 1964 show was recorded during the American Folk Blues tour with support from Hubert Sumlin, Willie Dixon, Sunnyland Slim and Clifton James.
Tracks on the album include:
Shake It for Me
Love Me
I Didn’t Mean To Hurt Your Feelings
Rockin’ the Blues
All My Life
Howlin’ for My Darling
Forty Four
Going Down Slow
