Description
Thomas Wayne - famously, the younger brother of Johnny Cash's guitarist, Luther Perkins - was only eighteen years of age when he recorded the million-selling 'Tragedy', a worldwide hit in 1958.
This is the first-ever Thomas Wayne compilation and around half these sides are new to CD; apart from 'Tragedy', few of his early 45s have ever been reissued in any format, and are nowadays major collectors' artefacts.
Although destined never to have another major success, he cut the original version of Chips Moman's 'This Time', and he co-wrote and recorded the original of 'Girl Next Door Went A-Walking'.
All are included on this compilation, which comprises all of Wayne's known recordings between 1958-62 across five different record labels. The three bonus tracks feature Elvis Presley's cover of 'Girl Next Door Went A-Walking', plus The Fleetwoods and Troy Shondell's million-selling revivals of 'Tragedy' and 'This Time', respectively.
