The Best Rock & Roll Series Period June 8, 2007
John Carr
6 out of 6 found this review helpful
I started buying these when they were still on LPs... Fortunately, the switch to CD started shortly thereafter and I bought most of the 50 CD Rock & Roll Era series, from Time/Life directly. Except for some of the single-artist collections, since I have a very extensive collection of single artist box sets and CDs, especially Elvis, Little Richard, Jerry Lee Lewis and Buddy Holly.
The remastered sound on these releases is excellent and the song selection is second to none for a Rock & Roll period anthology. For 50s fans, I'd recommend 1954-1955, 1956, 1957, 1958, 1959 and 1960 collections; also, they did a companion series (now hard to find) called Still Rockin', which runs from 1956 through 1963. They're quite good and flesh out each year's selections so that you have over 40 songs from each year.
I like to throw the Rock & Roll Era 1956 and 1956 Still Rocking along with Elvis Presley 1956 (none of the "collections" have any Elvis songs) along with Volume 3 off the Rhino Doo Woop Box (1956-1957) and Volume 5 of the Specialty Records box set all in my 5-disc changer; and -- Man, I'm back in 1956! For great music, it doesn't get much better than that.
When I've heard those selections a few times, I put out a 1957-1958 group of 5 CDs and I'm rockin'! This series is my jumping off point for great lisenting, since today's music is such drek it's worse than industrial noise.
For the Still Rockin' volumes you'll have to go to E-bay, but it's worth the time and money.
