• The two original 1959 albums packaged here, “Exciting Lloyd Price” and “Mr. Personality”, were recorded at the beginning of his career with ABC-Paramount; the label that issued his biggest smash hits. Recorded in absolutely breathtaking stereo sound that greatly enhances the brass-heavy arrangements, this CD edition is a must for fans of rhythm & blues and rock & roll.

• Lloyd Price became a big 1950s R&B star on the strength of his immortal New Orleans classic "Lawdy Miss Clawdy," but he wanted pop success, and he achieved it with his ebullient version of the old blues "Stagger Lee" and the highly commercial pop & roll songs "Personality" and "I'm Gonna Get Married".

• Personnel : Lloyd Price, vocals, plus: Joseph Harris (as), Claude Green, Charles McClendon, Eddie Saunders, Lee Allen (ts), Red Tyler (bs), Dave Bartholomew, Ted Curson (tp), Big John Patton (p), Gladstone Thomas (org), Edgar Blanchard (g), Clarence Johnson (b), Earl Palmer (d), the Ray Charles Singers (bv), among others. Orchestra conducted by Don Costa. Recorded between 1957 and 1959.

• Total Time: 57:37 - 24 tracks - also includes 16-page booklet with rare photos, vintage artwork and extensive notes.
