These 24 tracks are dominated by the sides Roy cut for the DeLuxe label starting in late ’49. These were mastered from recently minted transfers of the original acetates, so they sound better than ever: his smashes Boogie at Midnight; Hard Luck Blues; Love Don’t Love Nobody, and Cadillac Baby; rare/unreleased alternate takes of Pay Day Jump; Rockin’ at Midnight; New Rebecca…24 prime performances by this crucial figure in the creation of New Orleans R&B! Ace.
