We present 30 bop pills from four decades how to defy and prevent diseases. Not only our ears are happy about a whole series of rarities, as music helps to survive crises! Of course, besides rarities there is also the non-plus-ultra from this category, the title song by the Johnny Burnette Trio, plus Carl Perkins, Bo Diddley, Louis Jordan, up to the one man band of the legendary Hasil Adkins, Huey 'Piano' Smith's Sinus Blues not to forget! Besides good rock 'n' roll of the particular category, orchestral recordings are also featured. For example the theme from the TV series 'Medic' by Les Baxter, Noro Morales with an extremely rare mambo recording from Colombia. In addition Woody Herman delivers the Doctor Jazz Plus, there are legendary blues and R&B tracks, such as those by Floyd Dixon, Little Willie Littlefield and the legendary Boogie Disease by Doctor Ross, as well as rarities by unknown artists such as Dennis Bell, Joey Nepote, and The Mysterions, who live up to their name. Hits and rarities are combined here. The rarities predominate, many of them for the first time on CD! Song-by-song notes by Bill Dahl are included in the richly illustrated 28-page color booklet! The Current Background: Medical disasters, pandemics and epidemics exist at least as long as living beings inhabit this planet. And since music has been around, songs have been made about diseases and their treatment. One thinks of medieval minnesongs against plague and cholera or the TB Blues, which is about the treacherous tuberculosis and was already sung on the cotton fields of the American South before the first sound carriers could be technically produced Today, in the year 2020, we must confront the Corona Virus, which causes fear and anxiety to many. This gave us the idea to musically refer to the medical history with this idiosyncratic compilation and at the same time to encourage. From our own experience we can report: Music is definitely therapy against fear and worries!
