FOR ONE DAY ONLY, HEAR JERRY LEE LEWIS
FIRST RECORDING EVER MADE

BEFORE YOU CAN BUY IT IN STORES

New Orleans Boogie

Streaming On MySpace

Monday, June 12^th from 1:00pm 3:00pm

New Box Set,

Jerry Lee Lewis: A Half Century of Hits

In Stores June 13^th (Time Life)

Fairfax, VA --- 54 years after Jerry Lee Lewis made his very first record, New Orleans Boogie will finally be available to the public.  Self-recorded as a teen at a local DIY studio, the song was recently unearthed and restored for Lewis upcoming box set, Jerry Lee Lewis: A Half Century of Hits (Time Life), due in stores June 13th.  On Monday, June 12^th, The Killer will make New Orleans Boogie available exclusively via audio streaming on his MySpace page (www.myspace.com/jerryleelewis) for just two hours from 1:00pm EST until 3:00pm, where fans can hear it for the first time before they can buy it.

A Half Century of Hits  will be sold in a specially designed 3 CD box set not only filled with Lewis career defining rock hits, like Great Balls of Fire, High School Confidential,  Breathless, and the original hit version of Whole Lot of Shaking Goin On, but every major country hit, three previously unreleased live recordings, additional rare performances, and the very first two tracks Lewis recorded (also the first original Jerry Lee Lewis composition) New Orleans Boogie and a cover of Lefty Frizzells Dont Stay Away.  No one, not even Jerry Lee, had heard those two songs since the day he sang them at a record your own voice studio in 1952 when he was just sixteen years old. The acetates, belonging to Lewis friend, Cecil Harrelson, had been held back from release until such time as Mr. Lewis wished them to be distributed to the public and were painstakingly transferred by Country Music Hall Of Fame sound engineer Alan Stoker exclusively for A Half-Century of Hits.

A charter inductee into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, the uncompromising Lewis mixed his gospel roots with country music and roadhouse R&B, impossibly coming up with a raucous, startling and entirely compelling new type of rock n roll that forever changed the face of music.  His recordings and riveting live performances are matched only by his larger-than-life personality.  Lewis has scored 65 country hits, placed 22 albums in the Country Top 20, won a Grammy award, and was immortalized in the hit film Great Balls of Fire.

Press Release for Time Life Retrospective Release

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

May 1, 2006

3 CD CAREER RETROSPECTIVE ON

ROCK N ROLL ICON

JERRY LEE LEWIS

SALUTES 50-YEAR CAREER

Jerry Lee Lewis: A Half Century of Hits

Includes Remarkable First Pair of Recordings

He Ever Made

As Well As Rare and Previously Unreleased

Live Tracks

Fairfax, VA --- Jerry Lee Lewis: A Half Century Of Hits, the first-ever complete career retrospective on the music icon, will be released on June 13^th (Time Life).  Personally overseen by Jerry Lee Lewis himself, the collection will include the first two tracks he ever recorded, neither of which has ever been released before.  "Sometimes I can't believe all the things I've done some seemed like a good idea at the time, Lewis reflects.  The Time-Life story is the truth and, if I do say so myself, makes for interesting reading and great listening."

A charter inductee into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, the uncompromising Lewis mixed his gospel roots with country music and roadhouse R&B, impossibly coming up with a raucous, startling and entirely compelling new type of rock n roll that forever changed the face of music. 

His recordings and riveting live performances are matched only by his larger-than-life personality.  Lewis has scored 65 country hits, placed 22 albums in the Country Top 20, won a Grammy award, and was immortalized in the hit film Great Balls of Fire.   The rock n roll legend describes it best himself, Just point me to the piano.  In fifteen minutes, Ill have em shakin, shoutin, shiverin and shackin!

This specially designed 3 CD box set is not only filled with his career defining rock hits, like Great Balls of Fire, High School Confidential,  Breathless, and the original hit version of Whole Lot of Shaking Goin On, but every major country hit, three previously unreleased live recordings, additional rare performances, and the very first two tracks Lewis recorded (also the first original Jerry Lee Lewis composition) New Orleans Boogie and a cover of Lefty Frizzells Dont Stay Away.  No one, not even Jerry Lee, had heard those two songs since the day he sang them at a record your own voice studio in 1952 when he was just sixteen years old. The acetates, belonging to Lewis friend, Cecil Harrelson, had been held back from release until such time as Mr. Lewis wished them to be distributed to the public and were painstakingly transferred by Country Music Hall Of Fame sound engineer Alan Stoker exclusively for A Half-Century of Hits.

The box set features 66 tracks in all. Other highlights include rare outtakes from sessions done for the Sun Records label and even a heated argument between Lewis and Sun founder Sam Phillips about whether rock n roll was the Devils music. I got the Devil in me, Lewis yells, while Phillips tries to convince him that he can be both a believer and a rock n roll star. Accidentally captured while the tape was still rolling at the studio, this tape has never been released in the United States.  In addition to the hits, out-takes, studio argument, and the two 1952 recordings, this collection also features three previously unissued live recordings (recorded live by Jim Isbell at Opryland in 1981) and two live songs from his 1964 European tour.  A Half-Century of Hits is accompanied by a 40 page book made up of extensive interviews with Lewis and compiled by Grammy Award winner Colin Escott, along with rare and previously unpublished photos, many of them from Phoebe Lewis (Jerrys daughter) very own personal archives.

This collection also inaugurates a new series for Time-Life Music, LEGENDS OF AMERICAN MUSIC, in which Time-Life will celebrate the careers of artists whove made a significant difference to the music of our lives.  There are few totally original artists and Jerry Lee Lewis certainly tops almost any list of them. says Time Life Senior Vice President Audio & Video, Retail Mike Jason. Our goal with the series, Legends Of American Music, is to focus on those artists that changed the cultural and musical landscape and we are honored to be working with Jerry Lee in this project.  This set is truly the last word on one of the first names in rock n roll.
