It’s every recording that Fats made for Imperial between 1949 and 1962 In those years, he just about defined New Orleans R&B as it became rock ’n’ roll. There’s terrific variety here, amazingly few duds, and – even after all this time – some unissued, unedited and undubbed performances. The sound quality has been hailed by critics and fans as better than any other edition. There’s a total of 219 songs, some in multiple versions (like Walkin’ To New Orleans with and without strings). We all know that Fats is one of the giants of the era, and here are all his greatest recordings in one place alongside the rare LP tracks, rare singles, and unissued sides that tell the complete story. If you think you’ve heard it all by Fats, you ain’t heard nothin’ yet!
