The mighty Sleepy LaBeef (he stood 6'6", built like a tank) was a regular visitor to the UK and Europe during the 80s and 90s, building a reputation as an awesome live performer with his vast, lugubrious repertoire of R&R, Rockabilly, R&B, Country, Blues and even Gospel material. However, he was already something of a veteran by this stage, having commenced his recording career back in the mid-1950s. This compilation sweeps up Sleepy's earliest recordings, between 1956 and 1962, many of which were not originally released. During this period he re-recorded a couple of these songs, hence multiple versions of certain titles; however, each is sufficiently different to it's earlier incarnation that the fact that there are four versions of 'Lonely', ain't a problem! Much of this material is difficult to find elsewhere on CD.
