(2-CD set) Ace is proud to present a 2CD set that offers the first comprehensive overview of this important Los Angeles-based 50s label that specialised in doo wop, blues and R&B. Charlie Reynolds' label grew out of his record store - one of the most important stops for collectors right up until it closed in the 80s. It issued 31 singles between 1955 and 1959. None of them sold particularly well (that is why they are so rare and collectable) and the label lapsed. There's something for everyone in this smorgasbord of blues, doo wop, R&B and the occasional mambo. The CD contains 60 tracks, just about all the sides released by the label plus five previously unissued tracks. Sleeve note is by the renowned West Coast R&B researcher Jim Dawson. Comes in a cardboard slipcase with a 40-page booklet.
