How would you feel if you got 50 tracks of absolutely classic early rock that contained almost every hit from the era you ever wanted and then some?

How would you feel if you got 50 tracks of absolutely classic early rock that contained almost every hit from the era you ever wanted and then some? You'd salivate if it was this good, and pledge undying allegiance to whoever laid it on you. Divided into two discs, there's early savage rockabilly and rock & roll by Elvis, Jerry Lee, Eddie Cochran, Gene Vincent, Little Richard , Chuck Berry, Buddy Holly, Jackie Wilson, Brenda Lee, Carl Perkins, Duane Eddy, and the killer ballads by Conway Twitty (oh yeah, "It's Only Make Believe" is here), Gene Pitney, Mickey & Sylvia, the Platters, and lots more. Given that Shake Rattle & Roll: 50 Classic Rock N Roll Hits is out on the Sanctuary label, a huge independent, this comp verifies all original recordings, no re-recordings (so many of these cats and kittens were starved for cash, they recut tunes countless times). But this is all the real, rockin', dangerous stuff -- with no Pat Boone, y'all -- and it's all killer, no filler. Since no one is likely to be cool enough to bestow this heavy gift upon you, think about popping for it your sweet self. It'll rock the party or your bedroom endlessly. ~ Thom Jurek, Rovi
