Review

Union Square issued this wonderfully priced double-disc set from Jerry Lee Lewis' Sun years. Every major hit is here along with all the minor ones, which were in no way inferior. Lewis' wild, frenetic, and raucous energy is captured in virtually every performance. There are also extensive notes and track annotations, making this one of the most desirable introductions to the artist's work. The sound quality is fine if not audiophile pristine, but that's not a complaint. ~ Thom Jurek, All Music Guide
