Drummin' up a Storm: The Imperial Records Story

Lewis Robert Chudd founded the eclectic Imperial Records label in 1946. He cut his musical teeth and developed his business acumen while working as an advance promotion man, sticking up posters for the big bands of the Thirties. He later went to work for the NBC radio network where he made a star out of clarinettist and self-styled 'King of Swing' Benny Goodman. Whatever your taste, whether it's the rock and roll of Frankie Ford on 'They Said It Couldn't Be Done', the smooth doowop of the Turbans' 'I Wonder' or the rhythm and blues of Amos Milburn's 'I'm Still A Fool For You', this set offers something for anyone interested in the music scene of the Fifties and Sixties. Sit back and enjoy a collection of some of the Imperial's greatest acts performing at the height of their careers.
