Let's All Rock Together

Indelibly linked to Bill Haley & The Comets, THE JODIMARS formed in 1955 when three members of The Comets, Joey Ambrose (saxophone), Dick Richards (drums), and Marshall Lytle (string bass), split to form their own band, taking their I. D. from the first letters of the Christian names of the three founding members. They cut a half-dozen stunning, hugely collectable 45s for Capitol Records during 1955-56, following which they recorded a one-off for President before drifting apart. Featured herein are every track recorded by The Jodimars which are known to have survived, including a pair of pre-Capitol demo's, a trio of Capitol outtakes, and a number of sides later recorded by founder member Marshal Lytle with other musicians, but retaining the Jodimars' I. D. This is the first time that this "complete" body of Jodimars' work has been thus assembled, and includes several sides which have never previously made it onto CD.
