This brief CD (only ten tracks) is the first and best of two compilations featuring different versions of Richard Berry's immortal "Louie, Louie." You get versions spanning from Berry's original to a schlock job by Les Dantz and His Orchestra.

Originally released in 1983 on vinyl and cassette. ~ Andrew Hamilton, Rovi
