When Shaky's hit the big time in early eighties, many budget labels started to take advantage of his success, reissuing much of Shaky's early recordings with the Sunsets including previously unreleased rehearsal/demo tracks. These were often poor quality substandard recordings never intended for release and packaged with a picture sleeve using a recent photo that could be described as deceptive.
Some of the better releases came from Magnum Force who used period photographs. Among these was the album "Classics", which included two previously unreleased solo recordings, "Your True Love" and "Rockabilly Rock". Another Magnum release was "At The Rock House" which was released both in a red and blue sleeves and featured studio chit chat between the band during the recording sessions.
