The Bigger The Pompadour... 2CD

Wayne Cochran
The Bigger The Pompadour... 2CD

Long before he was anointed as The White Knight of Soul, Wayne Cochran made a stack of intriguing but 45s for various small Georgia labels and later considerably larger record companies spanning the gamut from hauling rockers to dramatic teen tragedy themes.
They have occasionally been anthologized over the years, but never as comprehensively as on this double-disc set ‘The Bigger The Pompadour…"
This 2CD release presents his complete recordings from 1959 to 1966 - a 32-track extravaganza tracing Cochran’s recording career from its humble beginnings with The Coo to just before he fully exploded on the national scene.
Cochran’s output also included plenty of swaggering rock 'n' roll; all of those extreme rarities are on board here, even three extremely obscure instrumentals by his combo, The Rocking Capris.
