Here's the complete story of Conway Twitty in the years before he switched to country. After starting at Sun Records in 1956 and going to Mercury in '57, Conway broke through on MGM in 1958 with It's Only Make Believe. All these classic recordings are complete here on 8 CDs. Do you need this if you already have our LP box Yes you do! Altogether there are more than 40 recordings that have never been available before. All the rock 'n' roll hits are here of course, like It's Only Make Believe, Mona Lisa, Lonely Blue Boy, and Hey Little Lucy, as well as the rare British only release of Rosaleena. New to this set is a double-sided instrumental single, Highland Rock/Midnight Creep featuring Conway Twitty and his band, plus all the ABC recordings - many previously unissued, and more than 20 previously unissued MGM tracks from recently discovered tapes.
