"Ninth installment in the best CD compilation series on early American rock and roll ever produced. As in the others in the series, there are a few top-10 tunes here but the majority are less well known, lower charting songs including some seldom, if ever, found on CD. As has come to be expected, Ace has produced these tracks from the best sources available and their efforts are evident in the overall sound quality. Included among the rarities are "A Wonderful Dream" (Majors), "Queen of My Heart" (Rene and Ray) and "Shortin' Bread" (Paul Chaplain). Of the massive 30 total tracks 6,8,9,24 and 30 are in true stereo with the remainder in mono. The liner notes consist of a 28-page booklet with backround notes on each track on the CD and many pictures of the artists and associated promotional material. Another superb entry in this outstanding series."
The best series of vintage rock n roll thusfar

"just got volume nine in the series...let it be known that ace records uk is doing by far the best job of any label out there reissuing vintage music. The sound quality is excellent--the packaging is superb--and most importantly, the track selection combines the best of well-known and very obscure. Each volume in this series is extremely enjoyable and highly recommended!"
Fabulous!

"As usual, the folks at ACE have turned out another great re-issue package. Every cut on this package is from the original master tape, sounding better than they did when originally released on vinyl. I highly recommended this package to any collector of the golden age of rock'n roll."
Another great production from ACE
