DOC POMUS-Great to Be Young & In Love-R&B/Blues Imp CD

Hello and Welcome! Here is what you're bidding on: TITLE and ARTIST: "It's Great to Be Young and In Love" by Doc Pomus on the Whiskey, Women and... Records Compact Disc label, made in Czechoslovakia and released in 1990. CONDITION: JEWEL CASE: Original WWA single disc jewel case with original inserts front and back - including 8-page front insert - all in excellent condition. DISC: Disc has a couple of very light scuffs and plays perfectly. ALL MUSIC GUIDE COMMENTARY: "Made in Czechoslovakia with the apparent cooperation of Doc Pomus himself, It's Great to Be Young and in Love is an obscure CD of non-commercial studio and live recordings from 1947-60. The early performances demonstrate Pomus' considerable talents as a white blues shouter following in the footsteps of Big Joe Turner and Wynonie Harris, while the later tracks capture Pomus with and without Mort Shuman while in the process of hashing out songs. The title track is a rough demo of a song in progress that would later evolve into Dion's hit "Teenager in Love." The track-by-track notes by Pomus and selection of ultra-rare private demos make this an historic archival release, but the primitive recordings and incomplete songs are more interesting than enjoyable." Once again AMG has basically missed the point altogether with their review; this is simply one of the greatest historical documents in R&B history, with notes and songs by the great Doc Pomus himself. It's so rare that this is the only copy I've ever heard of, much less seen. It's all in superb shape (a couple of tiny scuffs/hairlines on the disc do nothing to hinder the Holy Grail within), and Doc even provides song-by-song analysis in the booklet; please don't miss this chance...I'm guessing it won't come again!  TRACKS: Pool Playing Baby, Too Much Boogie, Early One Monday Morning (Wee Baby Blues), Bye Baby Bye, Here Comes the Blues, My Gal's a Jockey, Mad Blues, Bye Baby Bye, You Ain't No Such a Much, Bye Baby Bye, I'm Going Crazy, Pomus Blues, Alley Alley Blues, Naggin' Wife Blues, Jelly Jelly, You Better Believe It, It's Great to Be Young and In Love, Baby Get It Out Your Mind, Fool All the Time, I'll Treat You Like a Woman, and No One.
