Shake 'em up! R&B from the vaults of King/Federal Records! Jimmy Page, Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton and Steve Cropper all have cited Five Royales guitarist and songwriter Lowman Pauling as a major influence! Tracks like It Hurts Inside and Wonder Where Your Love Has Gone highlight his taught, stinging style with solos that served as lessons for budding guitarists everywhere. Sundazed is proud to reissue The Five Royalesfrom 1959 pressed on audiophile quality 180 gram vinyl by RTI and sourced from the original analog tapes. "Suddenly in the news thanks to their recent induction into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame, the 5 Royales also recorded for King. Sundazeds 180-gram reissue of their self-named 1959 King LP (which butchered the spelling of their 5 moniker on its cover) is a romping overview of some of the R&B vocal quintets then-recent singles. The gospel-drenched lead vocals of Johnny Tanner (or sometimes, his brother Eugene) presaged the rise of soul music, but its the blistering guitar of chief songwriter Lowman Pauling, a primary influence on Steve Cropper, that grabs most of the glory now. The gorgeous ballad When You Walked Through The Door is a highlight here, along with the relentless Its Hard But Its Fair, Get Something Out Of It, and Women About To Make Me Go Crazy." -Vintage Rock Magazine
