First time ever compilation of masters from the Renown Records label from Durham, North Carolina. Including the first recordings by Wayne Handy and Joe Franklin as well as many more artists from the Carolinas. This CD compilation contains more than ten previously unreleased tracks! Deluxe packaging with extensive liner notes and in-detail discographical information. Renown Records was established in 1957 by Howard Rambeau in the city of Durham. The output of Renown and it's subsidiaries Hornet, REL and Venture was an eclectic mix of good old rock 'n' roll, rockabilly and country music. The Renown label existed until 1969 scoring several minor hits, providing entertainment for a teen aged audience in the Carolinas and beyond. As it corresponds to the concept of Bear Family's That'll Flat Git It! Series, only the rockin'est sides from the Renown catalog were chosen for this release. And these sides can compete with the best in the genre! These are the stories record collectors dream of! Many more previously uncomped artists are on board here for the first time, such as Lonnie Dee, Joe Franklin & The Hi-Liters, Daryl Petty, Bobby Strigo with The Blue Notes and many more.
