For fans of all things vintage, retro and ultra-cool! A musical chronicle of the rare, authentic and crazy sounds of the 50's! Features timeless recordings by Elvis Presley, Gene Vincent, Little Richard, Buddy Holly, Billy Haley and many, many more! Rare radio commercials, public service announcements and a legendary interview with poet Allen Ginsberg add to the uniqueness of this collection!
We didn't start the fire, but we're going to use it to burn your entire record collection in order to show you the refined heart of gold where it all began. The 50's era was a cataclysmic cultural event of the 20th century. Elvis, James Dean, Marilyn Monroe, Buddy Holly, Bill Haley and let's not forget the oft-ignored Little Richard, who ignited a generation with rollicking music, pulsating sexuality and personality to spare. This compilation is a celebration of that era, showcasing the classic tunes that changed the course of popular music forever. Spiced with rare radio commercials, public service announcements and legendary interviews, Rock and Roll and Rock-A-Billy Inferno provides the most unique glimpse into when, where and how American popular culture began. --Cleopatra Records
