Ultra Rare Rockabilly's is the title of a series of CD releases featuring rare recordings of rockabilly music.
The total of 13 sound carriers each contain 30 tracks with recordings of the rockabilly genre from the 1950s that were difficult to access at the time. In doing so, no attention was paid to the representation of the genre of music, rather it was about recordings that had never or only rarely been re-released on LPs and CDs before. The tracks have been dubbed straight from the historic vinyl singles . In today's media age, many of these pieces are also available elsewhere through music streaming and various releases from other labels. The first edition of Ultra Rare Rockabilly's was released in 1992 by the Dutch label Chief Records / Double D Entertainment . A total of 13 issues had been published by 1997. The first six editions were also released as a double CD.
Artists who appeared on these CDs include Rocky Bill Ford , Jeff Daniels , Sonny Fisher , Dennis Herrold , Curtis Gordon , Curtis Johnson , Andy Starr , Glenn Reeves , Laura Lee Perkins , Joe Montgomery , Dorsey Burnette , Hal Willis, and Bucket Owens .
The series Ultra Rare Rockin '& Boppin' , Ultra Rare Teen Rockers and Ultra Rare Hillbilly Boogie from the same label pursued a similar concept .
