Disc one is given over to the principal contents of Haley’s two Warner albums and their accompanying singles, which include his versions of a brace of rock & roll oldies (among them recuttings of “Rock Around the Clock” and “Shake, Rattle and Roll,” as well as hits identified with Jerry Lee Lewis, et al.) and some excellent country standards. Records amount to less than a third of the contents of this box. The title is actually a bit misleading, since the sides that Haley recorded for Warner Bros. No, there’s nothing remotely as earth-shattering or important as his best work for Decca from 1954-1955, and even most hardcore fans of that material may find the cost of this set difficult to justify but take it from someone who shelled out for this box, it’s worth a LOT more than you’d ever guess without hearing it - Haley and his band still knew how to work a song, as demonstrated several dozen times on this set. The rating of this six-CD set is no joke - yes, Bill Haley was supposed to be an irrelevant artist during the 1960s, but he did, in fact, generate well over 100 good and far-better-than-decent sides that are contained in this set.
