Both sensational LPs have been remastered and packaged together in this collector’s edition. This set also contains 9 bonus tracks from the same period, consisting of great rockin’ songs (“You’re Just Right,” “Honey Baby,” “I’m Happy”), R&B staples (“Finger Poppin’,” “You Give Me Heebie Jeebies”), and major hits (1962’s “Rinky Dink”).
