"Elmore James was the flagship artist for the label, releasing 11 singles between 1953-1955, which is roughly an eighth of the 45s Flair released in its short time. Seven of these songs anchor Ace's 2014 compilation Dust My Rhythm & Blues: The Flair Records R&B Story 1953-1955 but the intent is not to showcase Elmore, even though he is the labels' best-known artist and his Flair sides are among his finest recordings. Often using alternate takes that sound as potent as the released sides, this showcases the entirety of the label and, as such, there's a lot more rhythm & blues than there is straight-up blues, with Richard Berry -- the songwriter of "Louie Louie" -- responsible for a fair chunk of it".

"Vurdering: Good" - "Ace always delivers when it comes to re-issue compilations. Here are two more superb examples. The two-disc set devoted to the West Coast Flair label (active '53 to '55) boasts 50 tracks (half new to CD) that range from the driving blues of Elmore James, the vocal groups The Chimes, The Flairs, and The Whips, to instrumental sides from Ike Turner, Blinky Allen, and Bobby Rey, the R&B of Clarence Garlow and Saunders King, and much more".
