This is a cool 1958 compilation that’s worth your money just for the cover art. My interest is a little more personal.
This compilation includes the Sparkletones’ “Black Slacks,” the coolest song ever to come out of Spartanburg, South Carolina. Check it out for yourself, Daddy-O:
It’s not a particularly rare album, but at the same time you’re probably not going to find at a garage sale anytime soon. Expect to pay around ten bucks online. Happy hunting.

James, I love the cover and the song. Both sum up the essence of Rock n Roll.

Yes indeed. I hear rumors that a reunited Sparkletones are playing a gig soon back on their home turf. I bet I know what color their slacks will be…
