Gene Vincent and His Blue Caps:

This recently compiled Gene Vincent release is the first collection of "new", 1950s-era Vincent recordings to appear since his death in 1971, and also possibly the last. THE ALBUM : Album highlights include Gene performing an early version of "Hey Mama" ("Say Mama") featuring the young Ronnie Dawson on lead guitar; the demo for "In My Dreams" which marks the first studio recording by the new Blue Caps; Tom Fleeger's classic home recordings of Gene and the Caps working up their second hit "Lotta Lovin'"; the live set at the Jamboree; and Bonus Tracks of the early songwriters demos of songs later made famous by Gene such as "Who's Pushing Your Swing?" (Darrell Glenn), "Git It" and "Somebody Help Me" (Bob Kelly), and the original demo performance of "Lotta Lovin'" by Norton Johnson. Careful research and detective work by Dragon Street Records of Dallas has unearthed previously unreleased studio tracks, home demos, acetates and even classic live recordings of Gene and his legendary Blue Caps appearing at the famous Big "D" Jamboree at the Dallas Sportatorium in 1958, which more than doubles the known live Vincent recordings to date!
