VA - That'll Flat Git It Vol. 2 (1992)

This
volume consists of original 1955-1958 Decca rockabilly recordings by
such artists as Don Woody, Gene Maltais, Johnny Bell and others.
Back
in 1992, we decided that Rockabilly sounded good on CD, so we had the
idea that we should create the all-time definitive Rockabilly series.
Above all, Rockabilly was music recorded for 45RPM singles, so we
designed a Rockabilly series label-by-label instead of artist-by-artist,
and we compiled it for listening pleasure. Just the great stuff, plus a
few super rarities. Every CD would be for the most part a 30 song
jukebox of the finest Rockabilly ever recorded for all the great labels.
We sourced the very best sounding tapes and took them to the best
mastering engineers, and then we took the packaging to a new level. We
adopted the catchphrase of the first Rockabilly dee-jay, Dewey Phillips,
THAT'LL FLAT GIT IT, and we hired Bill Millar, who'd compiled the
still-classic label-oriented Rockabilly LPs in the 1970s and 1980s, to
write the notes. We looked for previously unpublished photos, and tried
to find all the artists who'd never been found before.

Rockabilly
collectors are a hearty, fanatical breed with little compunction about
seeking out rare, rarely heard singles based on legend or label. Not
everybody has the time or patience to find original pressings, even if
they love the music, so for the average collector, Bear Family's
multi-volume That'll Flat Git It! series is the way to dig deep into the
rockabilly arcana. The series is divided by label, spotlighting the
forgotten sides and smaller hits for labels as well-known as Decca and
RCA, along with lesser-known regional labels. This is not everything
that was released on a label, of course, but it is a fairly thorough
overview of what kinds of rockabilly the label released, and it hits
almost all of the high points, at least as far as rockabilly collectors
are concerned (and when the label can't fit everything on one disc, it
breaks it up in two parts). Like many multi-part series, this is
strongest on the earlier volumes, but if you're a dyed-in-the-wool
collector, any of these volumes are worthwhile. Some of them are loaded
with generic mediocrities, but they all have a couple of dynamite gems,
plus they're presented lovingly, with wonderful sound and detailed,
well-researched liner notes. This is essentially a collector's series,
but it's a collector's series in the best sense -- filled with rare gems
worth seeking out and presented in a luxurious fashion.
