Title:	At Home With Screamin' Jay Hawkins
Label:	RUMBLE RECORDS
Format:	LP
Price:	$21.00
Catalog #:	RUM 2011002LP

"By far one of the most outrageous performers of the early years of rock, prone to emerging from coffins on stage, with a flaming skull named Henry as his constant companion, Screamin' Jay was an insanely theatrical figure long before it was even remotely acceptable. His 1958 debut, At Home, featuring his legendary 'I Put A Spell On You,' along with surreal hits like 'Hong Kong,' 'Take Me Back To The Boot And Saddle,' or his wild-ass reinventions of old standards like 'I Love Paris' and 'Deep Purple' is a carefully arranged yet gritty, Ray Charles-gone-crazy styled, full band rhythm and blues masterpiece, filled with enough howls and groans to send chills down your spine."

Title:	The Singles 1954-1957
Label:	RUMBLE RECORDS
Format:	LP
Price:	$21.00
Catalog #:	RUM 2011006LP

"A comprehensive collection of the early, pre-debut LP, singles from one of the most controversial frontmen of early rock and roll. With his classically-trained bass-baritone singing voice, Hawkins conjured up ghoulish images both on stage and on his records. Hawkins, evoking voodoo images and using bone-rattling sound effects, simultaneously entertained and bewildered rock'n'roll fans. Featuring his all-time classic 'I Put A Spell On You' along with 15 hard to find classics from his Okeh Records days."
