‘A collection of great country songs in the rhythmic singing style of Wanda Jackson’ – that’s the misleading LP subtitle on both the original 1960 US album and the 10”LP released in reduced form two years apart in Japan – and only there!

To describe Wanda’s raving vocal style as ’rhythmic country music’ shows fundamentally little understanding of what Wanda was and remains: the uncrowned Queen of Rockabilly!

To add to the confusion, Capitol Records in Japan selected only three of the twelve original tracks (all from the 1950s) from the US edition and added seven numbers, all from the early 1960s. Except for two ballads, Wanda delivers great rockabilly and R’n’R!

To the 10 songs of this extremely rare Japanese record we have added Riot In Cell Block #9 and Fallin’, two more outstanding songs as bonus.

We reproduced the original cover art, remastered the recordings very carefully and had the whole thing pressed on high quality red vinyl. A special collector’s item in a limited edition of only 500 copies.
