My Heart is an Open Book CD

Carl Dobkins Jr. was just seventeen years of age and still in high school when he cut the million-selling My Heart Is An Open Book in November 1958.
In a relatively short recording career he went on to notch up three further hits, If You Don’t Want My Lovin', Lucky Devil and Exclusively Yours, plus a huge regional success Take Time Out, as well as recording several other intriguing sides.
For an 18-month period he was one of the hottest young Rock 'n' Roll stars in the USA, making 14 appearances on American Bandstand and headlining numerous one-nighters package tours.
This 30 track collection features his first 45, the self-penned Take Hold Of My Hand, recorded for Fraternity Records in early 1958, plus his releases for US Decca between 1958-62, including the tracks from his rare LP, My Heart Is An Open Book.
Also included are a couple of sides which were not originally issued.
These records are nowadays all highly collectable among Rock 'n' Roll aficionados and are hard to find elsewhere on CD.
