Hi Everyone, hope you are all safe n well. So it seems that the Digital Download agent we use has finally sent me the link for the Emma Mattucci 45rpm tracks "The Way We Jived" and "That Little Song". ALthough these are currently not available via iTunes and Apple Music as they deem the song titles "too generic", the "big boys" want control over everything these days. Now saying that the tracks are available on Amazon, Deezer and Tidel and Spotify so at least they are still available. There are two QR Codes on the flyer below, 1 to link direct to Emma's page to order the 45rpm direct from Emma and the other to link with the download/play platforms. Thank you for your continued support and thank you for supporting the various artists that CJRO Records work with. Take care y'all.

A fantastic selection of today's artists. Some for the first time on CD.

THE HEP CHAPS - a brilliant band who have been around for many years performing at one niter's and music festivals around the UK and Europe.

DANNY FISHER - started out back in the late 70s early 80s singing in South London clubs as an Elvis inspired act. A brilliant singer who is still very popular on both the club and Dance scenes.

THE MISSISSIPPI SWAMP DOGS - Well known on both the Big and small club scene playing a popular venues such as Ronnie Scott's and The 100 Club. A fantastic fusion of Jazz, Swing, Blues, Gumbo, Mambo and anything that Jeff the band leader wish's to experiment with.

THE WAIKIKI LEAKS - Just about five years old now and they are classed as Italy's premier Hula/Jazz/Swing band. A fantastic band performing all over Europe. and finally the great.

THE BROADKASTERS - A top quality Blues based band that have held their own in venues big and small. A brilliant mix of West and East Coasts Blues. This the the last ever issue from this band as they are unfortunately now dis-banded.

TONY ACE, been around on the gigging circuit since the mid 1970s, a great base player and singer who has put together this album of 16 fantastic recordings. These were recorded in true Joe Meek style with Tony making the recordings in his living room and recording the vocals in the toilet. Some great recordings here that just must not be missed.

PAT REYFORD - Pat has been around gigging since the early 70s, his roots lie in authentic RnR, having expanded his experience and technique over the years, working in the US, all over Europe and here in the UK at many of the big music festivals. A total true talent.

EMMA MATTUCCI - Based in Belgium Emma has gigged on the Rockabilly, Rock n Roll and Country scenes for the past few years and becoming more popular with the public both on and off the scene. This album has 13 songs 6 of which Emma penned herself. Some fantastic Rockabilly/Country here, well worth owning a copy.

All these albums are just £10 each unless mentioned on the photos. Please add £2.00 UK and EU £2.50 ROW for postage.

Payment is accepted via PayPal as GIFT to [email protected] as soon as payment is clear we will post out next working day.

Hi Everyone - hope you are all well.
# # APOLOGY # #
There has been a delay in the delivery of the new Pat Reyford album 'Rockin' In The UK - British Beat - Volume 1'
Pat and CJRO Records sincerely apologise for this delay. It seems the delivery driver was involved in a road accident. The driver is OK but the van got quiet damaged, it seems all parcels on the van have to be checked before being released. Yes, damn pain in the butt but they will be arriving sometime next week now. So sorry for the delay. You can still pre-order via Pat on here.
Take care y'all.

Hi Everyone, hope you are all well.
** NEWS **
A couple of days ago I was made aware that there is/was a Facebook group called CJRO RECORDS, after some research it seems that after this group was created (NOTE: difference in capitols and lower case letters used, I have always used the mix of capitol and lower case lettering) a page CJRO Records was also created, there obviously have been some conflicts of information between the two. As of today I have "Paused" the CJRO RECORDS group. We will now only be running the CJRO Records page at https://www.facebook.com/cjrorecords
Please follow the CJRO Records page for continuous up-to-date posts and unfollow the CJRO RECORDS group.
Thank you for your understanding and continued support.
Take care everyone and hope to see you out there enjoying y'selves.
