Four Years Of Bop And Wine
This weekend marks the fourth anniversary of Be Bop Wino's appearance on the rocking interweb. The first music post (a cassette of Savoy and National movers and groovers) went up on Sunday, the 23rd of September 2007. A couple of years down the line the blog got taken down but reappeared in its current vinyl-only format, which I think is preferable to the old blog. I would like to thank all contributors and collaborators who have done so much to turn Be Bop Wino into something that I never anticipitated it would become when I started it four years ago.
Many thanks to those of you who take the trouble to comment. I've learned a lot from many of those comments. And thanks also to those of you who have corresponded via email over the years. It's been fascinating to hear from fellow bloggers, deejays (both club and radio), musicians from R&B revival bands, record retailers, relatives of the original 1950s musicians, journalists, researchers and fellow enthusiasts.
Here's the Be Bop Wino anniversary playlist. Some of these tracks may still be found somewhere on the blog, but others have been and gone. So for your listening (but not downloading) pleasure we present a round dozen platters from back when R&B was R&B.
Congratulations and for several years! Thank you for this wonderful music Boogiewoody that if not for my part would not have access to it. Sax Long live the honkers and R & B.
You've created a great thing. There's nothing like it for quality, insight, information and fabulous honkin' joy. "Be-Bop Wino" makes the world seem like a sane place where people have their priorities in order. Thanks!
"...fellow enthusiasts..." . . . polite speak for musical nuts....!!!
Ya'd like to think that the colorful "collage" of cool album covers shown above is a selection carefully gathered from deep in the Head Wino's voluminous vintage vinyl vault archives, carefully spread about on a flat surface at BBW World HQs for photographic documentation . . .
Uhhhh... music nuts can be an odd lot... with a lot of spare time on rainy summer afternoons...(?!)
congrats for the big 4 - wow, seems like only yesterday. you've been a source of constant aural joy. paleese keep up the fab work & thanx for everything!
B_B - sorry to disillusion you, that isn't a carefully spread out collage of LP covers on the Be Bop Wino boardroom table - it's a copy and paste job using Photofiltre.

Thanks to the good people who have contributed to Be Bop Wino. Many choose to remain anonymous, but I hope to namecheck pseudonymous contributors HERE.

Dance On
Dedicated to REAL R&B, Rock'n'Roll, Blues and Jazz
This is a site dedicated to rockin' 1940s and 1950s music, ripped from vinyl. Some cuts are a bit on the rough side. If you're looking for audio perfection you're on the wrong site baby! If you like what you hear on this site please buy this kind of music. There are many reasonably priced reissues available from web dealers or perhaps from your local record shop, if it still exists. These reissues will be in far better sound quality than the vinyl rips on this site and they will usually have more up to date liner notes and info, so go out and splash a little cash now and again. Help keep those reissue labels going in these difficult times.
No in-print CDs will be posted here. In fact no CDs will be posted here. I will occasionally list recommended purchases to help you hear more from artists featured on the blog.
The great rescue mission to restore streaming audio to El Enmascarado's 78 rpm rips continues. Remember - both sides of these big ten inchers are being re-uploaded to the posts. Today's updates:
Non functioning Divshare embedded players now being replaced with Box links to mp3 players. There's a lot of posts to work through thanks to the collapse of Divshare. Be patient groovers and movers!
