• This quintessential collector’s edition includes Vincent’s two first and finest albums: ‘Blue Jean Bop!’ (1956) and ‘Gene Vincent and The Blue Caps’ (1957). These two masterpieces helped define the exact nature of rock & roll and contain the cream of the crop from Gene Vincent’s hit-making stretch for Capitol Records during his early years.

• Highlights include the original hit recordings “Cruisin’”, “Who Slapped John?”, and “Ain’t She Sweet”, later covered by The Beatles. We have also added 8 bonus tracks (some of which are hard to find sides from the same period) - including ‘Be-Bop-A-Lula’. This is as rousing, rebellious and lively as early rock & roll can sound.

• Vincent was one of the most engaging, if tragic, figures in rock & roll history, Gene Vincent personified the wild, lusty, lower class side of the music as a touring artist.

• Personnel : Gene Vincent, vocals and guitar, plus: The Blue Caps: Cliff Gallup, Johnny Meeks (lead guitar), Willie Williams (rhythm guitar), Jack Neal (upright bass), Bobby Jones (electric bass), Dickie Harrell (drums and screams), The Clapper Boys: Paul Peek and Bubba Facenda (backing vocals and hand claps), among others. Recorded in Nashville and Los Angeles, between 1956 and 1958.

• Total Time: 76:12 mins. - 32 tracks - also includes: 16-page booklet, rare photos, vintage visual memorabilia & detailed liner notes.

• “The first rock & roll band in the world.” - Rolling Stone magazine
