Red Blue Jeans & Checkerboard Socks / Various Red Blue Jeans & Checkerboard Socks / Various CD

2010 collection of classic (and rare) tunes from the '50s dedicated to the fashions and styles of the rebellious Rock 'n' Roll teenagers that embraced the music and lifestyle. Carl Perkins was the man responsible for the granddaddy of all these songs about clothes: 'Blue Suede Shoes'. from 'Blue Suedes' and 'Red Bluejeans' we could have moved in the same direction as Pop music tended to do at the time. In the world of the hit parade we had 'Short Shorts', 'Pink Shoe Laces', 'Black Denim Trousers', 'White Bucks' and 'Saddle Shoes'. Not for US such drab garb. Our outfitters have rounded up some 'Straight Skirts', 'Tight Sweaters', 'Pink Peg Slacks', 'Slim Jims', 'Tight Capris', 'Penny Loafers', 'Squeaky Shoes', 'Boy's Shirts', 'Plaid Skirts', 'Yellow Pants', 'Red and Blue Velvet', 'Sun Glasses', 'Checkerboard and Knee Socks' and 'Bermuda Shorts'. Ace Records.
