Este es en definitiva, el padre de todos los box set. Y vaya que ya lo había escrito anteriormente con otro material del Killer. Pero ahora sí, la gente de Bear Family Records se voló la barda con esta sorprendente caja de 18 discos que deja obsoleta a CLASSIC JERRY LEE LEWIS que ya era de antemano un trabajo monumental. Aquí está TODO lo grabado por el Asesino desde 1956 hasta 1963 en Sun Records, así como todas las melodías producidas posteriormente en el estudio (sólo quedan fuera las sesiones del Cuarteto de Millón de Dólares, los duetos post producidos con Orion y una tercera toma de “Wild One” que acaba de ser descubierta hace unos días).
Esta caja permite tener un contexto superior sobre lo que pasaba en dichas sesiones. Ya quedaron atrás los tiempos en que se creía que el Killer grababa todo en una sola toma (y aunque así fue en muchas de sus canciones, la realidad es que sus grandes éxitos fueron un trabajo muy bien pulido y exigente, hasta que la toma maestra quedara registrada).
Además, se presentan más de 100 cortes que no habían circulado antes, sumando con esto 18 dichos compactos bien repletos de puro Jerry Lee. La caja incluye dos libros bastante gruesos y de pasta dura, uno con comentarios y la discografía completa, y otro con fotos, muchas de ellas no publicadas con anterioridad. Todo ello, cubierto en una caja con tela impresa de altísima calidad, para cuidar el tesoro que contiene.
Según las notas interiores, pasaron más de dos años para que los diseñadores de este material, pudieran identificar y separar cada toma con su respectivo diálogo de estudio, ya que en ocasiones son muy similares entre sí. Y por ello, tuvieron que sacar de colecciones privadas muchas tomas que no habían visto la luz para delicia de los fans del Asesino.
Como es imposible ponerme a discutir cada canción de las 623 contenidas en esta caja, solo escribiré brevemente sobre aquello que excedió mis expectativas. Por un lado, la forma en que se va obteniendo la toma maestra de “Great Balls Of Fire”, en donde entiendo la exigencia de Sam Phillips por obtener una interpretación balanceada digna de un éxito comercial. Y lo mismo sucede con otra de mis favoritas, “Old Black Joe”, que sorpresivamente aparece con un mix totalmente diferente en sus coros a cargo de The Gene Lowery Singers, que le da una profundidad muy fuerte a la melodía. Finalmente, los años finales en Sun Records, en donde Jerry Lee trataba y trataba de meter uno o dos éxitos a las listas (cuyo esfuerzo se vería recompensado al rescatar este catálogo cuando el Killer ya era una estrella country de alto nivel cinco años más tarde).
Si esta caja se vende bien y supera las expectativas, podremos esperar más material que seguramente se tiene guardado en las disqueras o en colecciones privadas. Mientras tanto, hay que sacarle jugo a este box set que por cierto, tiene una duración de casi 24 horas, por aquello de que a alguien se le ocurra aceptar el reto de escuchar todo en una sola sesión.
