A long overdue package that collates a wide range of masters from many of Moderns best female singers of the 1950s. Containing 18 previously unissued tracks and a further 8 which have not had prior CD release. Almost all the tracks have been freshly remastered from original tapes and acetates or, if no tapes exist, new dubs from best quality vinyl and shellac have been created for your maximum listening pleasure. The well-known, semi-known and virtually unknown are all here and it is truly a gorgeous presentation of good rockin female R&B and will appeal to anyone who collects west coast black music of the early-mid 50s.............. 1.
