VA - 16 Original One-Hit Wonders (A Rockin' House Party!)@320

The criterion that is used to identify a one-hit wonder in this collection is that each featured artist has enjoyed one hit in the British New Musical Express and Record Retailer/Music Week single charts. This means that we meet some artists in this collection, who had a substantial number of hits in other parts of the world, especially in the USA. Jimmy Reed and The Dells had a very good run of hits in the USA, durineg their long careers. Others like Carl Perkins, Lonnie Mack, Tommey Tucker, The Kingsmen, Robert Parker and Ernie K-Doe, never hit a purple hit patch, but carried out respectable musical careers, which in Carl Perkins' case holds until today. But what about the other artists in this collection. Artists like Hank Mizell, Curtis Lee,Jewel Akens and Bob and Earl at least enjoyed their moment of hit-parade glory. Their message inspired kids to go into the record store in droves to purchase their hit singles and bringing immense joy to a large amount of kids at a given time. This is more than can be said of most of us. (From Liner Notes). 01. Carl Perkins - Blue Suede Shoes 02. Bill Justis - Raunchy 03. Hank Mizell - Jungle Rock 04. Ernie K-Doe - Mother-In-Law 05.
