• This release contains Bobby Day’s magnificent debut album, ‘Rockin’ Robin’ (1958). In addition to contributing some of the most memorable rock & roll hits of the 50s, he also recorded a bunch of hard to find B-sides from his early and best years on the Class Records label, which have been included here as bonus tracks.

• Bobby Day was one of the most innovative, dynamic, yet unheralded figures in Rhythm’n’Blues and early Rock & Roll. His 1958 hit "Rockin' Robin" is one of the most memorable and recycled R&R oldies of them all. Michael Jackson took “Rockin’ Robin” to number 2 in 1972 and the Jackson Five reached the Top 20 with Day’s catchy “Little Bitty Pretty One” that same year.

• Personnel : Bobby Day, vocals, plus: René Hall, Barney Kessel (guitar), Plas Johnson, Clifford Scott (tenor saxophone), Googie René (piano), Earl Palmer (drums), The Satellites (backing vocals), The Maxwell Davis Orchestra, among others. Recorded in California (USA), between 1957 and 1959.

• Total Time: 62:36 - 24 tracks incl. 13 bonus tracks - also includes 16-page booklet with rare photos, vintage artwork and extensive notes.

Reviews
Songlines - Norman Darwen
It certainly does more than enough to dispel the myth of Day as a one-trick pony.
