For those unaware, Volume 1 and 2 are 52 lesser-known Rock & Roll songs by black artists who are unknown, picked up a unusual stage name or had to hide their personality with the launch of this series we are going back where we started when the first records were compiled on the Koko-Mojo label nearly ten years ago.

At this time Rockstar Records was well known for perfect researched releases with extensive liner notes and discographies. But at the spin-off Koko Mojo we concentrated on lesser known black artists so there were simply no information available.

The mission of Black Phantom Rockers is to put a light on artists who are completely unknown, picked up a unusual stage name or due to legal issues had to hide their personality. You might heard the story of Esquerita or that the Ecuadors we’re are one-off Studio project of Chuck Berry but what do we know about Frank Linkenberg?

The stylistic selection is designed both for collectors and for DJs: lesser-known gems rub shoulders with cult favorites, all sequenced to create a coherent listening flow that never loses its tension. "Rock And Roll Jungle" is ideal for anyone who loves original, unpolished sounds and wants to explore beyond the obvious hits.

Koko Mojo Records, the label behind this compilation, is known among aficionados for its deep passion for historic American roots music. Specializing in rock ’n’ roll, rhythm & blues, rockabilly and related styles, the label digs through obscure catalogues and forgotten 45s to present them in lovingly prepared editions.

Their releases are characterized by carefully researched track selections and high-quality audio restorations that retain the grit and energy of the originals. With series like Black Phantom Rockers, Koko Mojo Records has built a solid reputation in the international vintage music community as a reliable source for authentic, hard-to-find sounds that keep the spirit of early rock ’n’ roll alive.
