<B>Ricky Nelson EP Group of 5 (1957-59).</B></I> For a few years after the teenager broke onto the recording scene in 1957, only Elvis was a more popular Rock idol. His EP releases were prolific, 13 in the two years of 1957-59 alone, mirroring his rapid fire releases of Top Ten singles, several of which appear on these EPs. Ricky also recorded older standards for inclusion on his EPs and albums, no doubt an influence of his father, Ozzie, a big-band leader in the '30s and '40s. Included in this lot is the rarest of his EPs, the only one released by his original label Verve. The EPs and grades: "Ricky" (Verve 5048) -- EX 7/ NM 8; "Ricky (Vol. 1)" (Imperial 153) -- NM 8/ MT 9; "Ricky Nelson" (Imperial 156) -- NM 8/ NM 8; "Ricky Sings Again (Vol. 2)" (Imperial 160) -- MT 9/ NM 8; and "Songs By Ricky (Vol. 3)" (Imperial 164) -- NM 8/ GM-MT 10. Great tunes and the EP covers are super! <I>From the GRT Collection</B></I>
