A "No Brainer," Great Stuff!
Not much needs to be said about this CD. It is absolutely fabulous! I played it in my car during a 3 hour ride , and before I knew it, I was at my destination. It's a great mix of the best known Vee Jay artists like Jimmy Reed, John Lee Hooker, The Dells, the Spaniels, Dee Clark, and Gene Chandler, plus many lesser known artists who also did great work. Don't hesitate to buy this.

Not too pleased with The Vee Jay Story. It is a good package, but a little on the "Light" side for my liking.

Very Good compilation
I bought this CD as a back up to my VeeJay vinyl and I am generally happy with the choice of recordings. Great to see the inclusion of Priscilla Bowman and her excellent up tempo blues recording of 'keep your hand off my baby' although there could have been a couple of more female blues artists included .Jimmy Reed,John Lee Hooker,Roscoe Gordon ,Billy Boy Arnold (why not his 'I wish you would?')are all represented here and with the knowledge that it is difficult to satisfy every taste I find this VeeJay compilation to be a good buy. Vee Jay was an excellent Chicago based company and issued many fantastic blues recordings during 1950's.During 1960's they issued some fine soul recordings but personally I shall never understand why they suddenly started to issue the Beatles early recordings in the States.Many will say,'money'but the fact is VeeJay went into administration soon after!!

So Cheap!! A Must Have
Great collection and such good value. A must have if only for Gene Chandler's Duke Of Earl, which possibly has the most humorous lyrics of any song that crossed the pond to England.
