Rockin' At Hollywood & Vine celebrates Capitol Records' outstanding contribution to the rockabilly and rock 'n' roll explosion of the 1950s and early 1960s. Spanning a remarkable decade of recordings from 1953 to 1962, this superb 27-track collection showcases the label's rich and often overlooked catalogue, proving that Capitol played a far greater role in shaping the music than it is often given credit for.
Featuring classic recordings by Gene Vincent, Wanda Jackson, Jack Scott, Tommy Sands, Johnny Otis, Bob Luman, Ella Mae Morse, Ivory Joe Hunter and many more, the collection ranges from Merrill Moore's pioneering The House Of Blue Lights to later gems by Jack Scott and The Cadillacs. Alongside familiar favourites are several recordings that were never released as singles in Britain, while others make their CD debut.
Complete with a six-page booklet featuring detailed notes on every track, label scans and rare illustrations, Rockin' At Hollywood & Vine is an essential anthology celebrating the remarkable catalogue that helped establish Capitol Records as one of the great labels of the rock 'n' roll era.
