CD release of West Coast R&B hero Tony Allen's 1950s recordings. This 26 track collection features his complete Crown Records album, on CD for the first time ever, along with many more Rockin' Rhythm & Blues and DooWop greats. His DooWop classic Nite Owl is here, as well as the best of his Dig and Ebb sides, some of which are previously unissued. The booklet is generously illustrated with label shots of every released 45 and many previously unseen pix from the Crown album photo shoot. From tear-throated rockers to cool Doo-Woppers, this is a piece in the Hollywood R&B history.
