This review is from: Nothing But Good 1952 - 1962 (Audio CD)

This and the Gene Vincent box set are the two best box sets Bear Family has ever released. Two great artists. Two great box sets loaded with quality material throughout. It is amazing just how consistent these two artist were with quality and great performances all thru these box sets! It probably says something about America, not good, when you consider these two artists are virtually unknown in their own coutries. You buy this box set you will be one happy person!

The perfect boxed set for a Ballard fan. All charters, all great stuff, all you could ask for. Good quality audio as well.
