Product Description
CD Description
* Ace launch a new series for collectors and the Deluxe series will be a strictly limited edition.
* Ace kick off with the Royaltones, the band that began the careers of legendary Detroit musicians George Katsakis, Dennis Coffey and Bob Babbitt. This is where white Detroit rock `n' roll began.
* The groups had a US Top Twenty hit in 1958 with `Poor Boy', a Number 82 US hit with `Flamingo Express' in 1961 and a regional hit with `Your Faded Love' in 1964 (also recorded as a vocal by Bobby Rydell). They backed up Del Shannon on several of his hits including `Keep Searchin' and `Little Town Flirt'.
* Group member George Katsakis played sax on Jack Scott's early `Leroy' and `My True Love' records. Dennis Coffey played on eleven of The Royaltones' 45 while renowned bass player Bob Babbitt also played on twenty-four of the band's 45s.
* The Royaltones recorded for several labels during their six-year career and the releases were on the Jubilee, Penthouse, Goldisc, Mala, Twirl and Warwick labels.
* Compilation by Pipeline magazine's Dave Burke and Alan Taylor.

Oh boy, what a treat !,

This review is from: Detroit Rock'n'roll Began Here! (Audio CD)
Oh boy, what a treat ! Powerhouse rocking instrumentals from the cream of musicians. Some of the best tracks are here from the golden period of instrumentals - and to think that some of them went unheralded. A crime ! Fantastic unison sax blasting which at times is surprisingly melodic. Stunning guitar solos and mesmeric rhythm. An absolute must have for all fans of rocking music - and a great testament to the all too short golden period of rock n roll.
