专辑简介
86-track boxed set contains the cream of the Vee-Jay label's run, from 1953 to 1966, including hits by Jimmy Reed,Jerry Butler & The Impressions, John Lee Hooker, The Four Seasons,Little Richard, The Staple Singers, The Dells, Betty Everett, The Swan Silvertones, Dee Clark, The El Dorados, Gene Chandler, The Spaniels, and many others, as well as amazing obscurities by less-well-known artists. Vee-Jay Records was the first nationally successful African-American owned record company. At one point it was bigger than even such powerhouses as Motown Records and Chess Records. Though Vee-Jay is now best known as the first American label to release records by The Beatles, it is classic singles like The Spaniels' "Goodnite Sweetheart, Goodnite," John Lee Hooker's "Boom Boom," Jimmy Reed's "Bright Lights, Big City," Betty Everett's "The Shoop Shoop Song (It's In His Kiss)," Jerry Butler's "Make It Easy On Yourself," The Four Seasons' "Sherry," Gene Chandler's "Duke Of Earl," and Little Richard's "I Don't Know What You've Got But It's Got Me" that remain the label's enduring legacy. Contains 86 tracks spread across four CDs, along with a beautifully designed 40-page booklet packed with photos and featuring two essays: a historical overview and a detailed track-by-track commentary.
