Info: Ersel Hickey's solid sound comes mainly from the excellent production that Epic Records reserved for all of his sessions. Backed by the guitar master Al Caiola or by an entire orchestra, Ersel sounded like few others, resulting in a masterful melting of rock'n'roll and pop that sometimes reminds what few years later would be well known as the sound of British rock’n’roll.
In this EP you’ll find four good examples of it, highlighting the incredible SHAME ON ME that sadly was not released back in its day, remaining almost 30 years in a can until the mid-80's.
An amazing record that aims to achieve deserved recognition for the almost forgotten Ersel Hickey's solid beat
