Album Notes

This release explores those forgotten classics that Syd Nathan begrudgingly released on his main King label between 1953 and 1955. None of them enjoyed a whiff of chart action, even though the likes of Hurry Hurry Baby, Fanny Brown Got Married and Black Diamond were as good a black rock \'n\' roll record as anything Joe Turner and Wynonie Harris recorded during this period – and in 1954, Elvis recorded and released his version of Good Rockin\' Tonight, but it made no impact on Roy\'s fortunes.

The 29 track set is completed by the inclusion of the best of his early sessions for Imperial including rock \'n\' roll club classic Saturday Night and the unique interpretation of the double-sided Buddy Knox/Jimmy Bowen hit from 1956.

Shake \'Em Up, Baby!
