£ 3 or 5 € will get you this one.
And a real scorcher it is. 50 tracks on two cd's for next to no money will let you discover the all but forgotten genre that is Rockabilly.
The Clash's Brand New Cadillac? Iggy Pop's Real Wild Child?
They're here in their original versions.
As are the better known originals such as Carl Perkins' Blue Suede Shoes or Elvis' Mystery Train and Baby Let's Play House.
Ubangi Stomp? Race with the Devil? Here.
Johnny Burnette? Johnny Kidd & the Pirates? Here.
What makes this compilation most interesting are of course the lesser known names and they're provided in abundance.
Why so cheap? Easy, most if not all songs are out of copyright.
If you ever wondered where acts like The Stray Cats or Robert Gordon learned their trade then this is the place to start.
I'm sure you won't be disappointed.
