The Screaming End: The Best Of Gene Vincent

Amazon.com
"Let's rock again!" Gene Vincent screams in his signature rocker, "Be Bop-A-Lula," and throughout this 20-song document of the first heady year of his career, he and the Blue Caps (surely, the greatest rockabilly band ever) do just that, again and again, rocking with controlled abandon--though just barely controlled. Guitarist Cliff Gallup rips off insane riffs that are the perfect match for Vincent's own pinched wail, in songs that are either scary ("Race with the Devil"), or flat amazed ("Who Slapped John?"), or nothing but the beat, the beat, the beat ("Cat Man"). All of it will leave you convinced that the title is an understatement. --David Cantwell

Red blue jeans and pink Thunderbirds!!!.......2007-06-07

I've loved Gene Vincent ever since I got interested in his music back in the early 1980's. He should have had many more hits in the U.S. As historically important as Elvis was, Gene was a much wilder and raunchier rocker. And as far as I can tell, there were no R'n'B covers on this CD. Mostly original material. This is what rock'n'roll is all about. I'd recommend this CD to anyone who wants to hear real R'n'R. Long live the black leather rebel!

Gene Vincent Rocks.......2007-02-07

What's there to say? It's Gene Vincent... buy it, enjoy it and share it with your friends. A true Rock-n-Roll icon! This cd features a good sampling of his work and is worth adding to any music collection, while you rock-a-billy fans go nuts.

The Most Underrated Musician of that era!!.......2006-10-13

There's been more than one occassion socially, when speaking of music of the late 50's and early 60's, if I mention the name Gene Vincent, people go "Who?" And then I start to sing "Be Bop A Lula" and they say, "Oh yeah!.....So THAT'S who sang that?!" Well, duh! It irritates me to no end!

I agree with Timothy in that it's a shame Gene Vincent isn't mentioned in the same sentence with Elvis or Buddy Holly. He was as good as if not superior.

I discovered Gene Vincent in the 90's and was hooked immediately. This guy could rock! His audio recordings are so full of life that one can only imagine how it was to see him perform live.

I have little to add to the other reviewers. Gene Vincent was the true bad boy of rock & roll. His songs inspired the next generation of rockers - see John Lennon cover "Be Bop a Lula" on his "Rock & Roll" album. Love "Race with the Devil," "Pink Thunderbird," and the others. The guitars soar, the beat is basic, but listen for the screams. They are ripping loose in the studio, pedal to the metal, closing their eyes and taking their hands off the wheels. Not for nothin' - they died on the same road as Marc Bolan in T. Rex. A dead man's turn for rockstars past and future. To not own Gene Vincent in your collection is to have big, gaping hole. All his best in one place. Buy now. You won't regret it.

Music is great: classic Gene Vincent. Was very disappointed to discover it would only play in a DVD player. Sent the first disc back as defective. When the second disc wasn't recognized as a CD I tried it in my DVD player. Got audio w/o video.
