Fantastic collection of rockabilly history

"You're in for a treat with this rockabilly collection, which was previously released as "32 Original Historic Rockabilly Classics, Vol. 3". You get a whopping 32 rockabilly tracks on this disc, all of which should be considered "rarities". This is vintage stuff, and the sound quality is surprisingly good given the age of the recordings. Not only that, but these songs flat-out rock! Some rockabilly collections tend to be a bit uneven, but not this one. From beginning to end, this is an upbeat, rockin' album that you'll want to play over and over again.
Kudos to Lost Gold Records for tracking down these rare and obscure songs, cleaning up the sound, and issuing this great compact disc series. It's probably not the kind of disc you'd give new rockabilly fans, but is a must-have for serious rockabilly aficionados.
