A comprehensive 1971 compilation album from R&B legend LaVern Baker, originally released on ATCO Records. This collection features 14 of her most definitive tracks, including the crossover smash "Jim Dandy," "Tweedlee Dee," and "C.C. Rider". The album is highly regarded for its sound quality, as it was mastered directly from original mono session tapes to preserve the authentic 1950s rock 'n' roll brilliance.
