"Finally -- the mother lode is upon us! Roll to the jukebox rock with the party crashing sounds of Tampa's Rebel Rocker BENNY JOY!!! Benny has long been acknowledged as one of the unsung kings of rockabilly through five star killer singles like 'Crash The Party,' 'Little Red Book,' 'Spin The Bottle' and 'Steady With Betty.' Now, the Benny-obsessed Norton label rounds up all of Benny's 1957-61 wild, wild masters, scores of unissued demos and home recordings and tons of crazed photos, both in a five LP series and a three CD box set! 76 selections including 45 previously unissued tracks! Everybody jump for joy!" "I always thought of Benny Joy as the Dark Prince of Southern Rockabilly. His music was just so brooding and intense. In high school, I tried to dress like him. I put him on an even higher par than Elvis. Benny Joy was outstanding in everything he did." -- Dex Romweber Volume 1 tracklist: Crash The Party/Little Girl Little Girl/Wild Wild Lover/Stompin'/Bundle Of Love/Steady With Betty/In Study Hall/Miss Bobby Sox/Button Nose/Ittie Bittie Everything/Memory Of Memories/I Remember Darling/We'll Meet Again/Don't Forget About Me/Spin The Bottle
