"Authentic Excello R&B" marks the official launch of Ace's reissue of one of the great untouched labels from the Golden Blues Era of the 1950s and 1960s - Excello Records.
It seems entirely approriate to base this collection on the classic UK Stateside LP, "Authentic R&B" (SL 10068), which had such a vital influence on the British R&B boom in 1963. Aficionados will note that the first 16 titles of this CD comromise that vinyl album, although we have used the original unissued 1957 version of Lazy Lester's "I'm A Lover Not A Fighter" instead of the 1958 45 rpm issue. The final eight titles of this CD give a further taster of the Excello riches that have rested dormant in the vaults for years.
The Excello label was launched in August 1952 as an offshoot to the Nashboro label by Ernie Young in Nashville, Tennesee. With Nashboro as the valuable gospel outlet, Excello was primarily a blues and R&B label, although in the early days there was also a sprinkling of gospel and white country music as well as rockabilly. In its latter years Excello was also an outlet for prime 60s Southern soul. /Excerpt from the liner notes by John Broven
