ORIGINAL LP LINER NOTES: Not very many music lovers realise the extent of the influence caused by R. Stevie Moore, born in 1972 on a tobacco farm near Goodlettsville, Tenn. For years this young singing idol has baffled record label honchos, side-stepping pressures to move onto different repertoire and sticking with the same exact song on as many as 12 different releases. His first singles on the Sun label catapulted Little Stevie into worldwide acceptance, and their endless reissues on other budget lines helped the legend live on. It was with his stint as feature entertainer on Savoy Records that he acquired the title "King of Boogiepop." Then, his career zoomed skywards with his live appearances (sic) for fighting soldiers in Libya and on other charity tours. R. Stevie helped the confused music industry profit with countless imitators spurring interest in mass sales again. Never before had dance music embraced such a true genius with such respect and devotion. And we're not likely to again. This special edition album gathers some of his most well liked numbers from over the years, jukebox favourites you and your parents have hummed together, hard-to-get bestsellers from his early years, and several new sides RSM wrote and taped just for Cordelia. We take great pleasure in presenting this seventh R. Stevie Moore long player during his lifetime. Thanks to Alan Jenkins Cordelia Records, Rushden, Northants, England |
R STEVIE MOORE
(1952-19??) Cordelia
?• • (two stars)
R Stevie is an enigma with a message, a pop purist whose symphonies are eminently catchy, never syrupy, and always spiralling towards a keener than sharp hook line. This collection of his work ranging from '76 to the present day mixes all of his songwriting skills over an array of sounds and a dictionary of finishes. There's even a cover of Satisfaction, which Stevie carries out in his own struggling style. One to be savoured and an investment that'll brighten any boudoir.

R. STEVIE MOORE: (1952-19??) The question,
as fanatical home taper R. Stevie Moore
makes yet another appearance on vinyl, is
how come he's not famous yet. Previous LPs
on New Rose and Cuneiform have found
Moore leaning to the conservative side
(elegant, well-crafted pop with a de-empha-
sis on the totally weird), but (1952-19??)
has the feel of a good R. Stevie Moore home
tape: it's a jam-packed, loosely organized
mix of actual songs, little snippets, noise,
musique concrete, and interesting covers.
Material covers a broad time spectrum,
ranging from his early days to several pieces
recorded especially for the album. A must for
the devotees of bent pop. (Cordelia, 60
