Why Am I the only person to review this, what's wrong with everyone. This cd is exellent, in fact it is one of the most essential rockabilly cd's by a single artist, every track is classic rockabilly, in fact these are some of the most amazing rockabilly sides ever cut!!! Only one song(Too Much Alike) isn;t uptempo. This is one heck of a hard mother-swingin' set, and it's frickin' awesome rockabilly from the 50's!!! Vintage hot rockabilly. If you like Sleepy LaBeef, Riley, Cash, Vincent, Williams, you'll love this too...

OK, here's another 5-Star review to convince you...the title "Complete King Recordings" is accurate but misleading due to the short time span, only 8 songs! The import LP issue of this material was better because it contained Mac Curtis' King recordings as well...for the price, this is a great intro to some real classic rockabilly. It's a shame he didn't record more for King because these are his best sides by a long shot. Take a chance and if you like him you can find more expensive compilations to fill in the blanks.

I'm giving this 5 stars based solely on the quality of the music. but there are MUCH better sets available. Come on, 8 tracks? Why bother even releasing this? All 8 of these songs are available elsewehere, on sets that contain many other great songs, so I would reccomend those. 8 tracks simply isn't enough. But this is a decent price I suppose.
