New Jimmy Ellis 6 CD set – cancelled.

Jimmy Ellis - The Early Recordings

Here is a music sample from the set:

 

Cancelled!

Production costs turned out to be too high compared to the demand on the box set, making the release too economically challenging to make. Lets hope this music finds a way out at some other point.

Dradco will release a 6 CD set in 2018 to commemorate the 20th anniversary since Jimmy’s passing. It will focus on his early years before he became the masked singer Orion. All songs in superb quality, unreleased material from Los Angeles in ’75, unrelesased home recordings and soundboard.

I hope to be the first to buy this great set. I hope it contains everything we know of that he recorded before his Orion years!! The quality of the songs on this sample make it worth it just for that. I cant wait!! Thanks again Kenneth

Without a doubt, this is the boxed set of Jimmy’s that every fan has hoped would be released. Every fan of Jimmy’s owes Kenneth and his marvelous detective skillls a debt of gratitude. First, the incredible book – now this. WOW !! Thank you my friend.

It’s going to be a long year until December… Like when we were kids waiting on Santa Clause… only now he lives in Norway!

No updates since September 2017. I hope it all goes well and the box set becomes available later in the year. Looking forward to some great music!

Bill-
Right there with you – hopefully, there is some new updates in the near future. I was thinking that Kenneth had set a Dec. release date for the package – to commemorate the 2oth anniversary of Jimmy’s death. Only time will tell if that’s still the plan.
