Jay Chance is a British Rocker who played the legendary
2I’s in Soho in the late1950s, along with many other young Rock
'n' Roll singers of the time.
He appeared on the radio and cut demos at HMV in
London, but didn't get the big recording deal that
would make him a star.
He gave up singing for many years, but finding his old recordings
whilst having a clearout reignited the spark, and 5 decades later
Jay is singing and recording again, and it must be said, he's in great
voice.
Raucous Records is very proud to release Jay
Chance's debut album - albeit approaching 50 years late!
Jay got together with some real Rock 'n' Roll musicians and recorded
this great album. Jay performs some lesser-known rockers impeccably,
with musicians who understand how 1950s Rock 'n' Roll should be played.
The recordings were made on vintage equipment to capture an authenticity
that would be impossible with today's recording techniques. Million-selling
hits of the past were given a wide berth - the intention being to
make a real Rock 'n' Roll album and not an oldies nostalgia collection.
They succeeded.
Jay and the Chancellors revisit his old material
and rock up some 50s obscurities - and as an added bonus we have included
the 7 previously recently unearthed and previously unreleased 1950s
demos which led to the making of this new album.

“50’s 60’s Man is very entertaining
as Jay shows a genuine enthusiasm, love and feel for the music with
a fine vocal delivery. Most of the songs are familiar but these are
not just slavish copies, being enjoyable individual interpretations.
