Since Carl Perkins entered the Sun Studios in Memphis in December 1955 to record his own original version of Blue Suede Shoes, there have been hundreds of covers versions recorded, making it arguably the most versioned song of its type. This collection brings together 25 such variants, all dating from the 1950s and early 1960s. These are not just the USA, but also the UK, Germany and Australia – almost 20 of them from 1956 alone, a measure of just how popular a song it was at its chart peak. Some of these you will know and some you may not. Featuring versions by Pee Wee King, Delbert Barker, Elvis Presley, The Canadians, Boyd Bennett, Jim Lowe, Sid King, Roy Hall, Hank Smith, Jerry Mercer, Narvel Felts, Sam ‘The Man’ Taylor, The Teen Kings, Bill Haley, Freddy Cannon, Conway Twitty, Eddie Cochran and more.
