Oh cum on this deserves more praise than the others have given it It really rock considering its 50's rockabilly. To a trained Page lover you can easily see connection with Pages Zeppelin days and this, Even if u cant it's a bloody good album anyway with catch tunes and good riffery With amusing lyrics!
Go for it it's well worth it

"The Masters", "Lovin' Up A Storm" and "No Introduction Necessary" are ALL THE SAME ALBUM! Stupid me. I bought all three. This practice of retitling albums that have the same content borders on a SCAM. The record companies are catching h___ from the Feds. Perhaps they deserve everything they're getting.

The music is fair, but it must pre-date Led Zeppelin by a couple of decades. It doesn't sound even remotely like the Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones we know from Zep or post-Zep.

As the album says in its liner, this was a singer trying to break his way into the recording business with the help of a couple friends. His friends happened to be JPJ and Jimmy Page. This is a technique that labels used in the sixties to get new artists on the charts: billing the stars who helps on the album, but who aren't the featured performers. Overall I really didn't like the music, but I don't really like 50's rock-a-billy to begin with. If you enjoy it, then by all means go for it.
