THE DIG LABEL WAS FORMED IN THE MID-‘50s BY THE LEGENDARY JOHNNY OTIS AND THE LABEL WENT ON TO COVER ALL FACETS OF RHYTHM & BLUES, FROM DOWN HOME BLUES, SLICK UPTOWN SHOUTERS AND POPULAR VOCAL GROUPS FROM THE LOS ANGELES AREA. THE LABEL STARTED LIFE AS ULTRA RECORDS, BUT AFTER FIVE RELEASES OTIS DESIGNED THE NEW HIP DIG LOGO WHICH WAS MORE COMMERCIAL FOR THE PERIOD.

THEY BEGAN TO AUDITION DOZENS OF ASPIRING GROUPS. MANY GROUPS RECORDED FOR DIG AND THE VAULTS HOLD A TREASURE TROVE OF SUPERB R&B AND DOO WOP RECORDINGS MANY OF WHICH WERE NEVER RELEASED FOR A VARIETY OF REASONS AND ELEVEN OF THE TRACKS APPEARING ON THIS ALBUM WERE RELEASED FOR THE FIRST TIME WHEN THIS CD WAS ISSUED BY ACE RECORDS. EXCELLENT R&B AND DOO WOP FROM THE MID 1950s.
