Cosimo who ? February 5, 2008
6 out of 6 found this review helpful
I have never heard of this guy before but the artists on this box set are familiar names in Pop Music history. An outstanding selection of Nawlins Jump, Doowop & R&B. An Informative, illustrated booklet is included in the new slimline proper box with card CD sleeves. With 120 tracks of high quality recordings this is unbeatable value

15 out of 15 found this review helpful
THIS OUTSTANDING RELEASE COVERS THE MUSIC THAT CAME OUT OF THE COSIMO MATASSA STUDIOS, NEW ORLEANS IN THE 50'S. A TOTAL OF 120 TRACKS, GREAT SOUND,GREAT 40PAGE BOOKLET WITH FULL RECORDING DETAILS,AND A GREAT PRICE.
LEGENDS LIKE FATS DOMINO,LITTLE RICHARD,GUITAR SLIM,SMILEY LEWIS ARE INCLUDED, BUT DO NOT DOMINATE THE TRACK LISTING--THIS IS NOT A RECYCLING RELEASE--INCLUDED ARE OUSTANDING SOUNDS FROM PEE WEE CRAYTON,BOBBY CHARLES,EARL KING,AND MANY MORE LESSER KNOWN PERFORMERS.
IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN THE HISTORIC MUSIC THAT CAME OUT NEW ORLEANS IN THE 50'S, YOU WILL LOVE THIS RELEASE.HIGHLY RECOMENDED.
