Hot, party-hearty zydeco. In the great Clifton Chenier tradition — except for the killer Chic version, wrapping things up! ‘The Jackson 5 of Zydeco’ — aged 11 to 17.

Fine Detroit doo wop, Drifters and Coasters style, definitively presented in this limited edition.

Singers like Jimmy Thomas, Stacy Johnson, Vernon Guy, Jessie Smith, Bobby John, Jackie Brenston, Venetta Fields, Tina Turner, Ernest Lane, Dee Dee Johnson — fronting a super-tough Kings Of Rhythm lineup.

Their 1961 Sue Records debut, including I Idolize You and A Fool In Love, plus ten more sides from the same period.

The 45 reissue of a Tune Town 78, and a scorcher of a CD generously covering various late-fifties Ike Turner projects.

A New Breed R&B humdinger.

The former Flair and Leiber and Stoller go-to is a rock ‘n’ roll hero. A charged, witty, extrovert guide to its glory days — from doo wop through blues, rhythm and blues, rock and roll… into soul. Terrific stuff.
