Jimmy Carl Black started recording two years before he joined the band that became Frank Zappa’s legendary Mothers Of Invention. That early group was The Keys, whose 1962 single Stretch Pants/Just A Matter Of Time is a prized rarity. Both sides of that single are on this CD along with tracks recorded with The Grandmothers, Holzhaus, Black And Terrazas, The Jolly Rogers, Big Sonny And The Lo Boys, Arthur Brown and The X-Tra Combo.

Originally released only in the UK in 1996, this album has been completely remastered and re-EQ'd by Greg Russo and sounds better than ever. Three bonus tracks have been included: Fever, Lady Queen Bee and Blue Eyed Woman.
