Notes: This comprehensive, expertly annotated six-CD box set contains the remaining previously unpublished recordings of the legendary rock & roller Gene Vincent. Featured are outtakes done between 1958 and 1967, consisting of previously unheard tracks recorded at his last session with the Blue Caps, such as "Maybelline," "Rip It Up," and "You Are the One For Me"; songs recorded in London in the early 1960s, including one produced by Joe Meek; and many recordings from the late 1960s. A treasure trove for Vincent completists, this collection provides a unique opportunity to explore the full creative processes of one of rock & roll's most enigmatic figures.

Uncut (p.112) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "Vincent was an estimable singer, moving through orchestrated pop, swampy blues, and folk/rock with a graceful ease..."

Rockabilly god Gene Vincent only had one major hit--the epochal "Be-Bop-A-Lula"--but he nevertheless helped to define the genre, with his hiccuping vocals, hard-edged tone, and the backing of his deservedly legendary band the Blue Caps. Many of Vincent's '50s records are rightly revered today as among the greatest of the period. The Virginia-born singer was the archetypal rock & roll bad-boy, with a limp from a motorcycle accident and a predilection for black leather. He survived a subsequent car crash that took the life of peer Eddie Cochran, but finally drank himself to death in 1971.
