Every single CD in this ACE "Golden Age Of American Rock And Roll" series offers real value. none more so than Volume 10. Interspersed with some pretty well known hits ( "Maybelline", "Searchin", "A Lover's Question" and "Sh-Boom" ) are some truly magic lesser-known tracks. For example, "Why" by The Cues is sensational. There is also Curtis Lee's "Under The Moon Of Love", Rusty York's "Sugaree" and Clarence Henry's landmark recording "Ain't Got No Home" which gave him the nickname "Frogman". When you have listened to all thirty tracks, you feel like repeating the title of one of them "This Should Go On Forever". And ACE have got the formula 100% correct, in terms of their sleeve notes, which are presented in a thick booklet, and are more of a track-by-track pocket history lesson to the background of each artist and the circumstances leading to the recording itself. If there were a sixth star available, I would award it for the booklet alone.

Of the complete series of the Golden Age of American Rock & Roll
(11 Volumes) this one (Vol. 10) and the Vol. 6 are without any doubt
the best of the whole series. If you like the real "raw" authentic
Rock and Roll stuff (not rockabilly) this tenth issue holds a lot
of it. Most of these real rockers were unfamiliar to me and were
probably never issued in Western Europe before although some may
have been released in the UK. Here we have the female Elvis back in
1956 with the incredible rockin' Will You Williym, You Can Have Her-
Roy Hamilton; Believe Me-Royal Teens (yeah, those who sang Short
Shorts); the original Mona Lisa by Carl Mann; Gilee- Sony Spencer;
We Told You Not To Marry by Titus Turner which is an answer song to
Lloyd Price's I'm Gonna Get Married; Why-The Cues; Sugaree- Rusty
York and the first success by Clarence "Frogman" Henry Ain't Got No
Home an incredible rocker that makes you jump around and play over
and over. I just saw Clarence sing this song again in You Tube in 2004
almost 50 years later. It just sounds the same...! Half of the 30
songs are fast rockers so if you're a fan of the "real" stuff, don't
let this chance pass by. Remember Vol. 6 is similar and as wonderful
as this one.

All good things must come to an end... or do they?

Collectors of pre-invasion American rock and roll 45's on CD may need therapy now that Ace Records has announced the end of their spectacular "Golden Age of American Rock 'n' Roll" series with this, the tenth volume. Extreme notion perhaps, but anyone familiar with these compilations knows how significant this event is. For over ten years now, Ace Records' "Golden..." series has been the standard to which all other reissue various artist CD's have had to measure up.
While anyone can argue over the specific song selection on any such compilation, there can be little dispute with the end result. A massive thirty tracks, all mastered from the best available source material (often better then domestic sources), filled with hard-, if not impossible-to-find tracks packaged with a photo- and artwork-laden liner notes booklet with expertly compiled background on the included songs. And the irony here is that it has taken a British company to do this. Whew! Just describing the outstanding attributes in these volumes is a heavy though thoroughly pleasing task. It is with great sorrow and disappointment that we fans must watch this phenomenal series come to an end especially in view of the fact that, while these discs have brought to collectors so many of the otherwise unavailable songs of the era, there is still a wealth of such songs that have yet to see daylight on quality CD.
Notwithstanding the demise of the series, here in installment ten, Ace has kept up the pace of previous volumes. Six top-ten tunes along with many well-known lesser hits appear here but as with past discs in the series, included here are several hard-to-find tracks along with a number of, to this reviewer's knowledge, tunes that have never appeared on any legitimate CD foreign or domestic. Among the seldom-found songs are Roy Hamilton's superb "You Can Have Her", the Royal Teens' "Believe Me" and Donnie Elbert's "What Can I Do". Absolute finds here include Sammy Masters' "Rockin' Red Wing", Paul Gayten's "The Hunch", "Gilee" by Sonny Spencer and Titus Turner's "We Told You Not To Marry".
As has come to be expected, production quality here is outstanding with amazingly good sound quality for these tracks, especially considering the obscurity of many of these songs. All appear in mono with the exception of tracks 4 and 7. This piece, along with others in the series, is an absolute requirement for any collector of the genre and with the value contained and mainstream appeal, is unabashedly recommended to casual fans of the music from the golden age of American rock and roll. Hats off to Ace! Nobody has done it better!

It is not done better than this

I am a enthousiastic collector, and have almost all the Time Life rock n roll stuff, as well as Eric Records cds of this era. Although they are essential to any 50s 60s collection, nothing can top ACE series.
I could comment like this on all the 50s remasters of this fabulous record label, not only their other editions, but especially the Golden Age of American Rock n roll. I can not add anything to the positive reviews than simply summing up my personal view:
30 tracks per cd! (Time life is also excellent, but you get 15 per cd!)
excellent booklets with background info (not surpassed by any label).
not the same old songs over again, but many rare and still excellent tracks!
last but not least amazing sound quality.
So although you might have some songs there on other collections, it is for above mentioned points alone worth it to always have an ACE copy as well.

A Death In The Family
17 Jan 2004
As zubenelgenubi intimated might be the case, I am indeed now in therapy due to the demise of the most outstanding compilation series in the history of the universe, the impeccable "Golden Age of American Rock and Roll" from U.K. Ace.
I have been advised that writing may speed my recovery, and so I would simply like to say that the booklet alone makes the price of this cd a bargain! Apart from that, the sound quality is peerless as usual, and the mix of hits and rarities creates the standard Ace superb musical synthesis. Enjoy!
