Rock and Blues (Doo-Wop, Rhythm’n’Blues)
Printed on back cover: "The Royals were a top-drawer doo wop group spotlighting the serene lead of Charles Sutton, but with the arrival of young Hank Ballard they were transformed, almost overnight, into the hit R&B act known as the Midnighters. From the King/Federal tape vaults, here is the best-evre collection from the pioneering Royals, including an out-take of the famous 'Work With Me Annie'." Tracks 23 and 24 are previously unissued alternate takes. Made in the UK.
