This 16 Greatest Hits series from Passport Audio is, for the price, tough to beat. This volume by Lloyd Price is a case in point. It begins with "Lawdy Miss Clawdy" just to get things rolling. While it's typical of budget comps to begin with the big hit, they usually conk after three or four cuts -- and they usually clock in at ten or 12 cuts max -- half of which are from the dead dogs files.
