That'll Flat Git It!, Vol. 5
mines the
Dot Records
vaults for
rockabilly
and
rock & roll
obscurities, and in so doing significantly overlaps with the
Ace Records
compilation
Dot Rock 'N' Roll
from the previous year. The two compilations have 20 tracks in common, but
succeeds where
failed by including
the Phantom
's notorious
single
"Love Me,"
the master for which is owned by
Pat Boone
! Also unique to this collection is a
performance by
country
star
Cowboy Copas
(as
Lloyd Copas
) and a second early rocker by
Mickey Gilley
.
Ray Campi
,
Sanford Clark
, and
Leroy Van Dyke
are a few of the better-known artists featured on this excellent-sounding and well-annotated collection, made especially for serious collectors of '50s
