The Louis Jordan Fifties Collection 1951-1958

This 52-track 2-CD set comprises selected A & B sides from the 40-odd releases he had during this era, first on his long-standing record label Decca, and after that on the RCA subsidiary labels 'X' and Vik and then the Aladdin label - after 1958 his career became much less chart-focused, so the material on this collection very much rounds off his time as an artist with chart ambitions.
