In Case You Missed It: Five Times the Fun for Fats

March 7, 2012 By Mike Duquette Leave a Comment

Ace Records has released its final volume of singles recorded by Fats Domino for the Imperial label.

The aptly-titled The Imperial Singles Volume 5: 1962-1964 features 26 tracks - including two rarer LP-only bonus tracks - taken from the end of Domino's impressive run with Imperial label. While this era was nowhere near the commercial success of the late '50s and early '60s - only "Jambalaya (on the Bayou" and "You Win Again" were Top 40 hits - Fats' work here clearly proves why he's an elder statesman of New Orleans R&B.

This disc - described as "the least-reissued period" of his career by Ace, is presented entirely in mono but for two tracks: "Teenage Love" and "La La," which made their debut on the 1963 stereo album Just Domino. It's available now, and a full breakdown is ready to go after the jump.

Mike Duquette (Founder) was fascinated with catalog music ever since he was a teenager. A 2009 graduate of Seton Hall University with a B.A. in journalism, Mike paired his profession with his passion through The Second Disc, one of the first sites to focus on all reissue labels great and small. His passion for reissues turned into a career, holding positions at Legacy Recordings and Rhino Records and contributing to Allmusic, Discogs, City Pages, Ultimate Classic Rock and Mondo Records, for whom he penned liner notes for his favorite piece of music: John Williams' Oscar-winning score to 'E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial.' Born and raised in New Jersey, Mike lives in Astoria, Queens with his wife, a cat named Ravioli, twin daughters and a large yet tasteful collection of music.

    Can a generous person tell us if this set (or any of the other previous volumes) have any recordings that are NOT on the big Bear Family boxset?

    If there are any tracks not on Bear Family, can you comment on them? Many of them? Are they very similar alternate takes only? Are the Ace label reissues better sound than Bear Family, or very similar?

    Thanks
