A delicious and comprehensive compilation of the renaissance of Big Joe Turner, rescued from jazz obscurity by Atlantic records in 1951 and restored to his hit making potential, as proven here. 27 fabulous tracks, with 12 Top Ten Billboard R&B chart hits, including the two chart toppers, 'Honey Hush' and 'Shake Rattle and Roll' which, along with 'Flip, Flop and Fly', 'Hide and Seek', 'Boogie Woogie Country Girl' and 'Chains Of Love', would influence rock 'n' rollers from Bill Haley and Elvis Presley to Johnny Burnette on down.

The supporting bands (that were the best in the business) featured the all-star session players of New York, New Orleans and Chicago, including blues-god Elmore James on a few cuts! A pretty definitive overview of one of the KINGS of R'n'B, at his peak and continues our series of AMAZING pre-1960's releases. What's good enough for psych collectors is good enough for my dad I say! Contains hit after hit from the BOSS of the blues and all re-mastered in RevOla-sonic sound; they have never sounded better! The package contains a feast of pictures and memorabilia and the fascinating notes by Dave Penny make this the one to have!
