     THE WARNER BROTHERS YEARS AND MORE (BCD 16157). From the back cover "The Bill Haley story certainly didn't end with Rock Around The Clock, and didn't even end when he left Decca records in 1959.  This 6-CD set includes all of his American post-Decca recorings from 1960 to 1969, beginning with the artistically satisfying stint with Warner Brothers between 1960 and 1961, and ending with the dawn of the rock 'n' roll revival which saw him rememerge ono ne of the country's leading independent labels, Buddah records...a star once more.  In between, he recorded for Gone, Roulette, Guest Star, Nicetown, APT, United Artists, and Kory.  All of those sessions are complete here, including nearly 30 previously unissued recordings..."
