GEORGIA LEE
Sings The Blues Down Under
We are proud to launch our Vibraphonic Records imprint with a reissue of one of the most important albums ever released in this country: Georgia Lee Sings The Blues Down Under. Georgia Lee was the original indigenous diva of Down Under Blues and Jazz. This landmark recording is being made available for the first time in almost 50 years
Georgia Lee was the 'original indigenous diva of Down Under Blues and Jazz' (Clinton Walker). She was already a 20 year veteran on the Australian and international Jazz scene when she recorded this album in 1962 for the Melbourne Independant label Crest Records.
The album consists of some impeccably recorded Jazz standards including: 'Nobody Knows The Trouble I've Seen', 'Beale Street Blues' and 'Careless Love', but is notable for two locally written tracks: 'Down Under Blues' and 'Yarra River Blues' - written by Bob 'King' Crawford. 'Yarra River Blues' in particular, showcases Lee's unique, haunting style - this is blues from the heart from someone who lived it. You can keep your young pretenders...Georgia Lee is the real thing.
Georgia Lee Sings The Blues Down Under has been added to the prestigious 'Sounds Of Australia Register' which is part of The National Film And Sound Archive. This list celebrates iconic Australian recordings. Previous additions include 'Waltzing Matilda', 'Pub With No Beer', 'Most People I Know Think That I'm Crazy', '(I'm) Stranded' and 'Friday On My Mind'.

In 1973, Australian jazz legend John Sangster was commissioned to write a soundtrack for a tourist film to promote Surfer’s Paradise.
The resultant album was a truly remarkable suite that transcended its humble origins. The music ranges from gentle bossa nova, to funky wah-wah guitar wig-outs, to 70’s bachelor pad lounge-core, with many tracks featuring field recordings of local wildlife and nature – giving the album a uniquely Australian feel. And with the original LP only having a limited release on an obscure label (Trinity Records), Paradise Volume One has remained a buried treasure...until now that is!
Features such greats as: Don Burrows, George Golla, Errol Buddle, Renee Geyer and Kerrie Biddell. Our CD reissue features reproductions of the 12 page libretto that accompanied the original album.
