While the majority of rockabilly collections are denoted as featuring a slew of rare or otherwise unavailable tracks, truth be known very few really do. This 25 cut obscurities compilation however is the real deal. Featuring only rockabilly rarities that have never before seen the light of day on CD, or indeed on anything apart from, in a few cases, original 45rpm releases on tiny independent southern US labels existing for short periods in the mid to late 1950s.
An absolute must for collectors of this enduring genre, this superb compilation will prove to be the holy grail for anyone with even a hint of interest in hearing, cherishing and owning forever recordings that never troubled the top 40 but remain amongst the finest examples of music made during the golden age of rockabilly.
