'If Bill Haley was the Father of white Rock'n'roll and Elvis its King, then there can be no other legitimate contender for the title of the Father of Rockabilly than Carl Perkins.' So said author, DJ, musician and record producer Stuart Colman - and the music on this 2 disc compilation is impressive evidence. His music is still as potent as ever, and you can enjoy the pick of Perkins' earliest and best, with tracks such as "Blue Suede Shoes", "Long Tall Sally" and "Movie Magg", you'll be rockin' in no time!

The Sun recordings are great full of rockabilly vibrancy
The Sun recordings are great full of rockabilly vibrancy.The sound engineer should be applauded.However the non Sun records are truly awful.They have more reverb and seem to move away from rockabilly into a more Little Richard swing rock style with the introduction of saxes.l would advise anyone who wants to own an album of Carl Perkins to buy with just the Sun recordings to save skipping over the dire later stuff

Rockabilly rarely bettered
Only dropped a star 'cos i have 98% of it already, mostly Sun with some Columbia tracks thrown in. real rockin' from the late great Carl Perkins a genuine original star who should have and would have been bigger but for fate! most people who like this stuff will probably, like me have most of it.
