"Misty Rockin' Nights" (Collector CD)

Collector Records is run by obsessive Dutch collector Cees Klop who started issuing LPs of rare 50s rockabilly and rock 'n' roll in the 70s on his White Label…...After nearly two hundred LP releases (!) he switched to compact disc in 1991reissuing some of the previously reissued material as well as a whole heap of newly unearthed material. In addition to reissuing rare 45s he has tracked down artists, record labels and recording studios resulting in releases which include alternate takes, unissued songs, demos and home recordings. Some of the releases have a regional or thematic slant but most are just miscellaneous collections. Sound quality is decent considering the origin of some of the material and the packaging is pleasing in a down home way with slim booklets with photos and label shots and occasional notes. Some of the material is of marginal musical value but almost every release has some really excellent material and the real enthusiast will want 'em all.
