More Info:

Now largely overlooked, Freddie Bell & the Bell Boys was the group that brought rock 'n' roll to Britain. The group's recording of 'Hound Dog' inspired Elvis Presley to record the song. Included in this package are all of the group's U. S. and U. K. single releases for Mercury Records, along with earlier American releases on the Teen label. This is the first time these tracks have been compiled on one collection. In addition there are four extra tracks which were recorded later for labels based in New York. Two of which on the Audicon label have sparked a debate as to whether it's the same Freddie Bell or not. Jasmine has decided to include these as a matter of interest. This package is the perfect snapshot of the early days of rock 'n' roll. The CD comes with an informative booklet, telling Bell's story and contains, all writer credits, releases information and scans of record labels and other memorabilia
