180 gram LP "
Rock & roll pioneer and rockabilly king, Gene Vincent, formed his Blue Caps in Norfolk, Virginia with "Wee" Willie Williams on rhythm guitar, Jack Neal on bass, Dickie Harrell on drums, Paul Peek on vocals and guitar and the amazing Cliff Gallup on lead guitar. The "Blue Caps" name was a nod to Vincent's past in the US Navy, who traded in his own Navy "blue cap" to become one of rock & roll's original bad boys. His first hit came in 1956 with "Be-Bop-A-Lula" and he soon had a deal with Capitol. Considered by many to be one of the greatest rock & roll LPs of all time, this album, released in 1957, was actually Vincent's second LP for the label, but his first featuring almost all original material. All the tracks on this album, except "Unchained Melody" and "Blues Stay Away from Me" are originals. Songs like "Red Bluejeans And A Pony Tail" and "Double Talkin' Baby" (covered by the Stray Cats many years later), echoed the teen R&R rebellion sweeping the USA in the mid-fifties."
