“Rockin’ Bones”
Various Artists
Rhino

Goddamn! This is a mother of a box set–101 songs on four discs… primal, original-era rock n’ roll and rockabilly… dense, detailed track-by-track liner notes and an ace package (the whole thing comes in a hardcover book and looks like a dime-store pulp novel).

On top of tons of one-”hit” wonders, you get original/alternate takes of some classics (dig Elvis’ “One Night of Sin” which was neutered to become “One Night with You.” See also: balls-out “Rock Around with Ollie Vee” by Buddy Holly).

Highlights: title track “Rockin’ Bones” (Ronnie Dawson), “Little Girl” (John & Jackie–is she having an orgasm singing this song?), “Sunglasses After Dark” (Dwight Pullen), “One Night of Sin” (Elvis), “Spin the Bottle” (Benny Joy), “Action Packed” (Ronnie Dee), “Fujiyama Mama” (Wanda Jackson).

Spit on the next bunch of shaven-headed retards who claim to have rediscovered their musical roots in stupid psychobilly, this is REAL ROCK AND ROLL.
