Record labels and manufacturers often mark the product casing to indicate
an "overstock" item that is offered for sale at a price significantly lower
than the manufacturer's selling price.
At OLDIES.com all item numbers
beginning with the prefix "VCL" are special clearance items that contain
this small marking. Because of this small marking, we are able to sell
these items to you at significant discount. Many of the audio CDs that
we advertise for $5.98 and lower are still sold for $15 and higher
elsewhere.
Rest assured, the audio CD is in brand-new condition, as we
do not sell used or second-hand product.

Product Description:
Includes liner notes by Mark Marymont.
Along with Scotty Moore (Elvis Presley's guitarist), Carl Perkins is rightfully considered one of rock & roll's first guitar greats. Best known for penning the early rock standard "Blue Suede Shoes" (which Elvis later covered and made famous), Perkins is also noted for being an important influence on such future rock purveyors as the Beatles, specifically George Harrison. The budget-priced BEST OF CARL PERKINS (BLUE SUEDE SHOES: THE ORIGINAL RECORDING) doesn't contain all of Perkins' most renowned songs. It's probably best suited for die-hard fans who may want to round out their Perkins catalogs. Neophytes who want a true introduction to this guitar great should try Rhino Records' ORIGINAL SUN GREATEST HITS.
