Product Description
CD Description
* For Ace's summer collection they have designed a wardrobe of rock'n'roll odes to strict dress codes. In other words a homage to teenage style of the 1950s.
* While avoiding the pitfall of including obvious hits like `Short Shorts', or the more schlock items of the era like `Pink Shoe Laces', it does include `Blue Suede Shoes', the grand-daddy of the genre and an influence on the whole collection. Who would have thought this is the first time for this track on Ace?
* Some worthy obscurities like `Yellow Pants (And Blue Suede Shoes)' should appeal to the curious. This CD will catch the eye of both rockabilly fans and slaves to early R&B.
* Most lovers of these type of comps are attracted to the thematic idea. Where Ace audiences have lapped up Cats, swooned on Hallowe'en, poked fun at Death, they will love the novel idea of dressing up to go out to this collection.
* A stunning photograph by Ken Russell from has been chosen for the cover, and artwork of the period adds the required eye-catching finishing touch. And a second volume to follow will cover 60s styles.

I was happily surprised about this one. There has been some real thought put into the making of this product. A very unique mixture of not quite so common tunes. NICE!

Whilst, as an avid rock'n'roll collector, and local radio presenter, I had many of these tracks already, I do tend to buy a lot of Ace products, especially themed albums such as this - which I would loosely describe as sartorial rock'n'roll.
There are some fabulous tracks on this album, and whilst many may not be familiar to the casual rock'n'roll buyer, I can assure you that you will not be disappointed if you buy the CD 'on spec'- the music overall is that good.
Highly recommended.
