From 1952 to 1960, BELL RECORDS released a slew of singles that surveyed the best songs of the era almost entirely pop fare early on but eventually shifting into rock and roll. The nine albums in this series survey the best of each year's BELL releases and include some surprising names: the 1954 collection features brothers Tommy and Jimmy Dorsey, and Western immortals Roy Rogers and Dale Evans. R&B stars Buddy Lucas and Edna McGriff turn up on subsequent CDs. Betty Johnson, who brought rich country roots to the party and enjoyed some rock & roll success in the late 1950s, makes an appearance on BELL in 1954 covering This Ole House.
