Heinz

The Heinz Sessions Vol. 1

(Cherry Red)




Like 1960s British rock'n'roll contemporaries Wee Willie Harris and Screaming Lord Sutch, the German-born Heinz continued rocking into subsequent decades, albeit with reduced reward. The peroxided crooner's earliest tracks, here compiled, were produced by the storied Meeks.

Collectors of halcyon sides doubtless already own Heinz wax. But this collection contains unreleased alternate takes, making it a sterling addition to libraries.

Recommended: "Just Like Eddie" (Geoff Godddard's guide), "Movin' In" (Take 8), "I Get Up In the Morning" (Take 4), "Country Boy" (Take 1), "Voices In the Wind" (Take 7), "Tribute To Eddie" (Joe Meek's demo), "Long Tall Jack" (Joe Meek's demo)

Video: "Country Boy"
