Wells’ recording career began with singles. From the early 1950s through to the early 1960s Wells recorded a number of singles as a solo artist for various labelsincluding States Records, USA, Chief Records (and its subsidiary, Profile Records), and it’s that period that forms the basis of this 2-LP set. Wells wrote or cowrote over half the songs here; several more tracks were written by Mel London, the house producer and owner of Chief Records. It’s an interesting collection, full of great rarities.
