1	The World of Nat King Cole (2005) more music like this by Nat King Cole Easily the longest of any Capitol single-disc compilation, 2005's The World of Nat King Cole also benefits from a fresh remastering of its material to make it the best introduction to the interpretive brilliance of Nat King Cole. Nearly all the hits that need to be here are indeed present: "Straighten Up and Fly Right," "Route 66," "Nature Boy," ... see all copies from £13.77! new only from £13.77!
2	Dona Got a Ramblin Mind (2006) more music like this by Carolina Chocolate Drops To say that Carolina Chocolate Drops are an anomaly in the 21st century would be a huge understatement. Here are three twenty-something African-Americans playing a brand of acoustic, banjo- and fiddle-driven string band music that is nearly extinct today, and in fact peaked in the pre-WWII era. Although a number of Southern-bred black string bands ... see all copies from £11.34! new only from £11.34!
3	The Best of Louis Jordan [MCA] (1977) more music like this by Louis Jordan This is a best-of CD collection that actually lives up to its name. Virtually all of Louis Jordan's hits, which musically bridged the gap between small-group swing, R&B, and rock & roll, are on this single CD, including "Choo Choo Ch'Boogie," "Let the Good Times Roll," "Ain't Nobody Here But Us Chickens," "Saturday Night Fish Fry," "Caldonia," ... see all copies from £4.65! new only from £7.11!
4	Northern Exposure (1992) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from £4.87! new only from £7.11!
5	Blue Yule: Christmas Blues and R&B Classics (1991) more music like this by Various Artists A stellar 18-song compilation with most tracks not duplicated on other in-print collections. Treasures abound here: rare tracks from John Lee Hooker and Lightnin' Hopkins, Hop Wilson's original "Merry Christmas, Darling" (covered by The Fabulous Thunderbirds on An Austin Rhythm & Blues Christmas), Louis Jordan's last recording ("Santa Claus, Santa ... see all copies from £8.35! new only from £10.92!
6	Atlantic Rhythm & Blues 1947-1974 [Box] (1991) more music like this by Various Artists This eight-CD set should be a part of any collection that presumes to take American music -- not just rock & roll or rhythm & blues -- seriously. Atlantic Records was one of dozens of independent labels started up after the war by neophyte executives and producers, but it was different from most of the others in that the guys who ran it were ... see all copies from £46.41! new only from £46.41!
7	Sonny & Brownie (1973) more music like this by Sonny Terry & Brownie McGhee In a way, this is the veteran duo's version of Fathers and Sons, a meeting of old black bluesmen with young white admirers that Muddy Waters and Otis Spann cut with Mike Bloomfield and Paul Butterfield. John Mayall and John Hammond, Jr. are among the "youngsters" on this powerful statement that includes a definitive version of Randy Newman's ... see all copies from £4.10!
8	Cosimo Matassa Story (2007) more music like this by Various Artists Although he's far from a household name, it's hard to imagine the existence of New Orleans R&B without Cosimo Matassa. As owner and engineer at J&M Studios, housed in a reworked grocery store on Rampart Street, Matassa saw the birth of R&B, rock & roll, and soul pass through his doors between 1945 and 1956, and he was responsible for the early ... see all copies from £13.76! new only from £13.76!
9	Capitol Collectors Series (1956) more music like this by Louis Prima What Louis Prima accomplished musically in the company of Sam Butera and the Witnesses and vocalist Keely Smith is in hard evidence on this excellent 26-track compilation. All the classics are aboard with excellent liner notes from Scott Shea and crisp transfers of the original masters ("Angelina-Zooma Zooma," "That Old Black Magic," "I've Got You ... see all copies from £4.38!
10	Jump, Jive an' Wail: The Essential (2007) more music like this by Louis Prima Louis Prima had been leading orchestras for 25 years when, in 1954, he finally got something that turned out to be the biggest break of his career: a late-night lounge act at the Sahara Hotel. It certainly wasn't a coveted gig, but it soon became the hottest ticket in town, with a dynamite stage show that featured Prima, the combination fireplug ... see all copies from £9.26! new only from £9.26!
11	Songs That Got Us Through WW2, Vol. 2 (1994) more music like this by Various Artists Songs That Got Us Through WW2, Vol. 2 collects more early-'40s pop favorites like Dinah Shore's "You'd Be So Nice to Come Home To," Roy Rogers' "San Fernando Valley," and Johnny Mercer's "On the Atchison, Topeka and the Santa Fe." More overtly war-themed songs such as Buddy Johnson & His Orchestra's "When My Man Comes Home," Louis Jordan's "Ration ... see all copies from £11.95! new only from £11.95!
12	Hipsters' Holiday: Vocal Jazz & R&B Classics (1999) more music like this by Various Artists Featuring the heppest of the hepcats (and kittens), this'll jingle your jangle with Big John Greer's "We Want to See Santa Do the Mambo" and Pearl Bailey's "Five Pound Box of Money." The inimitable Babs Gonzales lays "Bebop Santa Claus" on you, and you'll "Jingle All the Way" with Lena Horne. Dennis MacDonald, All Music Guide see all copies from £9.68! new only from £9.68!
13 view cover	Soul on Fire: The Best of LaVern Baker (1991) more music like this by LaVern Baker One of R&B's earliest divas, LaVern Baker could grab hold of a song and belt it out with the best of them, whether she was singing bouncy, up-tempo rock & roll or bluesy torch ballads. Baker's contributions to the rockin' and rollin' wing of '50s R&B were in a class with Atlantic labelmates Ruth Brown and the Clyde McPhatter-era Drifters, as the ... see all copies from £10.50! new only from £10.50!
14 view cover	Ultra-Lounge, Vol. 5: Wild Cool & Swingin (1996) more music like this by Various Artists This 18-song compilation is the showbiz-encased, Vegas-ized school of late-'50s and early-'60s pop vocals. The emphasis is certainly more on the "cool" than the wild and swinging; if it ever breaks out a sweat, there will be a martini-dipped silk handkerchief on hand to wipe it away. You get selections from Rat Packers (Dean Martin, Sammy Davis, ... see all copies from £4.87! new only from £8.26!
15 view cover	I Wish You Love (1957) more music like this by Keely Smith Although known primarily as one-time partner and wife to Louis Prima (vocals), Keely Smith (vocals) also had a measurable amount of success on her own. I Wish You Love was not only the title of her debut long-player, it quickly became one of her signature pieces as well. By the end of the 1950s, the team of Prima and Smith were among the hottest ... see all copies from £6.96! new only from £10.13!
16 view cover	Buster Poindexter (1987) more music like this by Buster Poindexter You can't experience Buster Poindexter's campy nightclub act on a studio recording, but you can get a sense of the material by listening to the Caribbean dance strains of "Hot Hot Hot" and the Wynonie Harris hit "Good Morning Judge." There are also a couple of good songs by one David Johansen. William Ruhlmann, All Music Guide see all copies from £2.78! new only from £2.78!
17 view cover	Mastercuts (2006) more music like this by Dinah Washington see all copies from £8.40! new only from £8.40!
18 view cover	Greatest Hits (1996) more music like this by Louis Prima & Keely Smith see all copies from £3.47! new only from £3.69!
19 view cover	Turn It On! Turn It Up! (1995) more music like this by Roomful of Blues Try to imagine for a moment if George Thorogood, Bill Haley, Glenn Miller, Louis Armstrong, B.B. King, Cab Calloway, and Count Basie all got together to record a CD. Got the picture in your mind? Well, then you probably are pretty close to knowing what Turn It On! Turn It Up! sounds like -- a big band, rock & roll take on the blues. A ten-piece ... see all copies from £2.78! new only from £5.70!
20 view cover	Spotlight on Keely Smith (Great Ladies of Song) (1994) more music like this by Keely Smith 20 tracks from her late-'50s sessions with Nelson Riddle and Billy May, emphasizing familiar standards like "There Will Never Be Another You," "On the Sunny Side of the Street," "Fools Rush In," and "Stormy Weather." Richie Unterberger, All Music Guide see all copies from £3.48! new only from £8.74!
21 view cover	The Best of the Nat King Cole Trio: The Vocal Classics, Vol. 1 (1942-1946) (1995) more music like this by Nat King Cole Originally released in August 1968, The Best Of Nat "King" Cole (Capitol 2944) was reissued in 1980 (Capitol 16036).

23 view cover	The Greatest Johnny Otis Show (1998) more music like this by Johnny Otis The import anthology The Greatest Johnny Otis Show overlaps considerably with Collectables' domestic disc, The Capitol Years, but is has a little more material, and a slightly different track listing. The Johnny Otis Show was a touring ensemble headed up by Otis, so many of the cuts feature the artists from his troupe: Marie Adams & the Three Tons ... see all copies from £13.29! new only from £13.29!
24 view cover	Boss of the Blues (1956) more music like this by Big Joe Turner During an era when Big Joe Turner recordings were often surprise hits with rock & roll fans (particularly "Shake, Rattle and Roll"), he occasionally recorded no-nonsense blues-oriented jazz dates too. This reissue album matched Turner for one of the last times with the veteran boogie-woogie pianist Pete Johnson and also includes a variety of top ... see all copies from £5.92! new only from £8.55!
25 view cover	The King (1976) more music like this by Benny Carter The great Benny Carter was so much in demand as an arranger/composer in the studios that for 15 years, starting in the early '60s, he rarely recorded or performed in jazz settings, instead choosing to concentrate on writing movie scores. The drought ended when Carter, then in his late 60s, started recording for Pablo. As The King (his first small ... see all copies from £7.66! new only from £8.29!
