Jody Reynolds is no doubt destined to be erroneously remembered as a One Hit Wonder for his very first record, the million-selling Endless Sleep. Once heard, never forgotten, its spooky, reverb-laden vocals and Al Casey’s rumbling guitar lent dramatic tension to the disc, bestowing instant “killer” status on it. However, his follow up, the similarly-crafted Fire Of Love, also dented the US Top 100. Reynolds went on to record a powerful, wholly underrated body of work, which even includes a couple of instrumental 45s, with his backing group The Storms, featuring him on lead guitar. This collection anthologises all his releases between 1958-62, across seven different record labels. Included are a number of sides which are serious collector rarities, impossible to find elsewhere on CD.
