The Clovers were the one vocal group in the history of Rock and Roll music whose hit making talent spanned the entire spectrum of the first great age of this art form. Beginning in the early days of Black Rhythm & Blues during the post World War II forties, the "Moondog Years" when White America discovered the music, the days of Elvis inspired pop idolatry, right up until the coming wave of Beatlemania which ushered in the "progressive rock" era, the Clovers were a constant.Hit after Hit (just wait and see how many of these songs you know!), written by the cream of R&B songwriters; million sellers covered again and again by the likes of Elvis and all who followed, The Clovers never surrendered, never went away... and now here they are again, with their Greatest Hits from their immortal first run, when they helped create ROCK'n'ROLL itself!... and as a bonus, we presentan early version of the greatest hit from their second run, 'Down In The Alley' - with it's immortal refrain: ready now. changa ta changa ta changa ta changa. ta changa! Featuring all their monster hits from the birth of Rock'n'Roll, meticulously remastered in true Rev-Ola style and beautifully packaged with detailed notes and rare memorabilia, this is a must for all fans of classic R&B and the wildest of early Rock'n'Roll.
