"If you are enjoying "From The Original Master Tapes" and want to add these 5 essential tracks not on FTOMT: Sway With Me, Choo Choo Ch'boogie, Skinny Minnie, Joey's Song, Hook, Line And Sinker, this is the disc to get these tracks on. As the title describes, this is a reissue of the Greatest Hits LP issued by Decca in 1968 on Decca DL 5027 in the original mono and on Decca DL 75027 in rechanneled stereo, with "Hook, Line and Sinker" as the single bonus track and the sound on this CD is great (many of the tracks sound like they are on par with the more definitive "From The Original Master Tapes" collection.) and they are using the original mono masters and not the rechanneled masters as rechanneled stereo sounds terrible and not the "improvement" that the public was lead to believe at the time."

ONE OF MY BILL HALEY'S FAVORITE

"One of the best compilations from one of the masters of Rock and Roll!! from the very famous ROCK AROUND THE CLOCK to their great numbers like SEE YOU LATER ALLIGATOR, SHAKE RATTLE AND ROLL and THIRTEEN WOMEN, many excellent numbers like SWAY WITH ME, SKINNY MINNIE, BURN THAT CANDLE, CHOO CHOO BOOGIE and an instrumental powerful number, JOEY'S SONG...THIS CD IS WONDERFUL!!"
