“I spotted this on one of my regular trips to Sainsbury's and couldn't help but check out the tracklisting. At first it seemed like just another of those ten-a-penny compilations that adorn supermarkets, garages, bookshops and haberdashery emporiums these days. However, once past the usual suspects - Cochran, Holly, Richard, Presley, Haley etc. - I noticed this was not just your average 'oldies' collection. For there, nestled amongst the genre's giants, was dear old Carson Robison's 'Rockin' And Rollin' With Grandmaw' - one of the left-field hits of the 1970s Rockabilly 'revival'. When I spied Joe Bennett & The Sparkletones' 'Black Slacks', Don Woody's 'You're Barking Up The Wrong Tree' and Ronnie Self's throat-stripping 'Bop-A-Lena', I realised someone in the know must have put this together. And they did - the delightful Sam Szczepanski, producer of many a fine compilation. Hopefully others will have a similar 'supermarket' experience to me and snap up this little 50-track wonder.” Trevor Cajiao, Now Dig This
