The Japanese CDLike with most Japanese releases, the design and packaging is superb ; the sound is ... uneven : terrific on some tracks, terrible on others (many were dubbed from original records) ; the selection of tracks is good - though odd at times ; the liner notes are in Japanese only !! Now, it looks like a legal issue (manufactured in 1993 by Blues Interactions, Inc. out of Tokyo). It's perhaps the only non-bootleg CD on the market focusing on one of the great record labels of the '50s : Sage & Sand, based in Hollywood and founded around 1953 by W. O. Fleener (in fact, that was three labels in one since there were '45 releases on Sage and on Sand as well ; the albums were mostly put out on Sage, as far as I know). It's one of those indie record companies - like Four Star or D - which delights Hillbilly and Rockabilly collectors alike because uptempo boppers and all kinds of rockers abound. Although often cheaply pressed, the records on the Sage & Sand family of labels are uniformly superb.
