King Curtisの初期の録音はシングルで発表された(AtlanticのサブレーベルATOCOなどから)。後にＬＰアルバムに収録されたものもあるが、それから洩れたものも数多く存在する。それらはベスト盤に収めるという形で幾つも発売された。このアルバムは近年になって発売された３枚組のＣＤアルバムで、幾つかのトラックは後のアルバムと重複するものもあるが、彼がスタジオ・ミュージシャンとして録音した他の歌手たちのための録音も含まれている.アルバムに収められなかったものは青文字で表記。（他の歌手のものはその限りではない）
実にカーティス氏１８才の頃からの記録。

これは日本グラモフォンのオーダーで日本の歌謡曲を録音したもの。交流のあったサム・テイラーがムードテナーとして日本で成功を収めていたのもあって、引き受けたのはないかと思われる。アメリカで録音して日本に送る形で成立したらしい。売れなかったらしく、この録音以後はない。しかし、ベースのリチャード・デヴィスが「真っ赤な太陽」演奏したってのも凄いし、ロン・カーターの「小指の想い出」だって相当なものだ。日本だけで発売されたLPらしい。アホな企画であったことは間違いない。
