Synopsis

Product Description
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 This humongous package delivers the goods in the highly portable compact disc format! Three CDs contain all 76 selections from the five LPs plus a luxe twenty page booklet all adoringly presented in a form-fitting slipcase for the true connoisseur!

JOYFULL BENNY
john szotowski | ottawa, ontario Canada | 11/27/2001
(5 out of 5 stars)

"EVER HEAR OF BENNY JOY? YOU KNOW, HE'S THE ONE THAT TURNED DOWN A RECORDING CONTRACT FROM SAM PHILLIPS & SUN RECORDS. WHAT A PITY. THIS CD CLEARLY SHOWS THAT HE COULD HAVE BEEN A RIVAL TO THE GREAT ELVIS. ALL 28 SONGS ARE DYNAMITE, ESPECIALLY "CRASH THE PARTY", "SPIN THE BOTTLE", "CUTIE PIE" & "HEY, HIGH SCHOOL BABY". A GREAT, GREAT TALENT. AN ABSOLUTE MUST FOR ANY VINTAGE ROCK OR ROCKABILLY FAN."
Rockabilly all the way

"The title of this CD says it all, it comes crashing in with the first track and doesn't stop rocking all the way through. To describe Benny Joy I would have to say Elvis in his SUN Records years, Roy Orbison, and Carl Perkins all mixed together. But comparing Benny Joy to other artists of the time truly does not do him justice, how someone who made such great music fell into relative obscurity is beyond me but thanks to the people at Ace (who put out so many wonderful CDs) we have most of his recordings available."
