Fifth volume of the Koko Mojo compilation series, "Black Phantom Rockers" features tracks by artists who participated in the recordings anonymously or under pseudonyms – in short, a true treasure hunt through the credits and liner notes of historical recordings and acetates. The CD is presented in a well-designed three-panel digisleeve. It includes 26 rhythm and blues and rock 'n' roll tracks, some performed by "real" artists accompanied by unknown "phantom rockers," others by artists using dubious pseudonyms. In the 1950s and 1960s, studio and session recordings generally took place in relatively small settings, with a limited number of skilled instrumentalists tied to studios and record labels. While soloists and top-level musicians were, on one hand, interchangeable, on the other hand, they could quickly become "main artists" themselves.
