"Jay-Gee Rock & Roll Party" Vol. 1

Here's a great compilation of vintage Rock & Roll and Rhythm & Blues culled from original 45s and 78s released on the Josie & Jubilee label groups, many making their CD debut…...There's a lot of great stuff on this, here are some of the standouts: a wickedly cool romp through the jungle with Head Hunter by The Goofers, the spastic delight of Red Light-Green Light by the Coney Island Kids, Diana Cole's tawdry lament about the other night when she had So Much Rockin' To Do, the Ebbtones' lo-fi instrumental beauty Rum Inductions, The Cadillacs with their rip-roaring Sugar Sugar, and equally rockin" Shack-A-Doo, Sticks & Bricks' R&B smoker Kiss The Pretty Girl Twice, and so on. There is a warning about possible surface noise on this due to the source material, but I have listened to this a couple times through now and I didn't notice much of any concern. There are a couple of clunkers on this collection, but the killer cuts far outweigh the not-so-killer! (JM, Roots & Rhythm) trax:
