New Noel Boggs CD on Varese Vintage

[Brad Bechtel]

Just got word from a DJ friend of mine that Varese Vintage is planning on releasing a "Best of Noel Boggs" on July 18. No news on the Varese web site yet, so I can't confirm track listings or anything.

"Speakin' of reissues, I noticed all of these comin' out on July 18th:

The Very Best of Noel Boggs
Varese Vintage

The Very Best of Eddie Dean
Varese Vintage

The Very Best of Tex Ritter
Varese Vintage

The Very Best of Jimmy Wakely
Varese Vintage

The Very Best of Tex Williams
Varese Vintage

Considering the grouping of artists, I can only assume those are all reissues of their Capitol material, which is good news indeed,
particularly for fans of Boggs and Dean. The other three had fine compilations of their Capitol stuff released a few years back, but for those who missed 'em the first time around, here's another chance."

I did hear a rumour that their was going to be a series of reissues of Capitol era side by the above artists.
This must be it, how cool.

I checked that web site again and there still is no mention of the Boggs CD and others. Anybody have an update on these releases?
