Comments and Reviews

vidman45 10th Aug 2014		Added a 2-CD box set of Soma Records and noticed that three of the label's most famous recordings are absent from the collection. "Mule Skinner Blues" by the Fendermen, "Suzie Baby" by Bobby Vee and the Shadows, and "Six Days On The Road" by Dave Dudley. Soma must not still own the rights to these records. Otherwise, this is a very good label comp.
