An interesting compilation of many rare tracks. The enclosed booklet was informative. Who'd have thought Rick Nelson was out having fun recording with his pals and while under contract to Imperial Records. Sound quality is great and the material is good. Glen Campbell sounds so young with his first chart hit from 1962. Jerry Fuller's tracks were nice. Too bad they weren't able to find the finished master for "First Love Never Dies". Some Seattle radio stations played this song. Turns out it was a B side. This is a good cd for those of us to add a little more depth to our music collection.

If you love 1960s music, this one is great. While Jerry Fuller is the primary lead singer, Dave Burgess and Glen Campbell are also featured. There are funny songs and a variety of styles. The songs that include The Fleas and The Trophies are just the best four part harmony. Rick Nelson isn't a featured soloist, but does a very good job on the bass parts. It's still a "must have" for a Rick Nelson fan.

Please preview carefully if you encountered this as by R. Nelson. Sounds more like Bobby Vee/R. Orbison amateur tribute hour. No audible Nelson in either younger or more mature (?) days. OK technically and maybe musically. Mr. Bass Man goes wild on a few tracks.
