Dance Album of Carl Perkins

The Dance Album of Carl Perkins is the first studio album by American singer Carl Perkins, released in 1958. The album was released by Sun producer Sam Phillips after Perkins left the label for Columbia Records. Most songs were released previously as singles and B-sides. The remaining tracks are outtakes from the Sun sessions.
In 1961, the album was reissued as Teen Beat: The Best of Carl Perkins, with a new cover, but the same selection of songs.

Influence

The album had a big influence on the Beatles. They released Honey Don't and Everybody's Trying to Be My Baby on the album Beatles for Sale, and Matchbox on their EP Long Tall Sally. All songs from the album appeared at least in jam sessions by the Beatles, or were recorded after the breakup of the band by the ex-members.
