With their soaring, Appalachian harmonies and chunky, jumbo acoustic rhythm guitars, The Everly Brothers brought an entirely new sound to Rock n Roll, occypying an area where C&W, Bluegrass, R&B and R&R met an equal terms. This unique compilation rounds up four sides which Don & Phil recorded for US Columbia in November 55 plus everything that they recorded for Cadence between 1957-1959, alongside some twenty or so fascinating demos from this same period. Includes their million selling hits "Bye Bye Love", "Wake Up Little Sunshine", "All I Have To Do Is Dream", "Bird Dog", "Problems", "Til I Kissed You" and "Let It Be Me". Also featured are many collector's rarities, notably the early sides, several alternate takes, and the demos, all of which are notoriously hard to find elsewhere on CD.
