Synopsis

Album Description
A fantastic six CD collection of 120 pioneering tracks that introduced Rock 'N' Roll to an apprehensive but waiting world. This collection highlights the big names of the then-new music revolution: Elvis Presley, Chuck Berry, Carl Perkins, Little Richard, Fats Domino, The Platters, Frankie Lymon and many more. It also pays tribute the R&B pioneers who had sown the seeds that led to this explosion of new music that turned the world on its head and ushered in a new era not only musically but also socially and culturally. By 1956 Rock 'N' Roll was beginning to find an audience all around the world. Here in one unique set is the opportunity to hear all of the greatest Rock 'N' Roll songs that changed the face of popular music forever. Full liner notes with a detailed history of all of the 120 tracks complete this package and make it the most comprehensive collection of Rock's early years. Acrobat. 2007.

CD Reviews

Rocknroll explosion
Timothy Wright | 07/31/2008
(4 out of 5 stars)

"Nothing newer than 1956 in this compilation. A good mix of the best of early rock and roll, featuring songs by not only Elvis and other white artists but the predecessor versions from the black artists of the very early 50's. Excellent."
