I really only bought this for the Rock-A-Teens title track but the other 49
are a great selection, mixing a few well known tunes with rarer and unheared
material.Well done One Day Music, another bargain!

A varied mix of music released on the Roulette label is on offer here. There are well known hits by Jimmy Rodgers, Buddy Knox, The Playmates and Joey Dee, amongst others, plus lesser known recordings by the likes of Charlie Gracie, Jimmy Jones, Frankie Lymon and Georgia Gibbs . Interspersed, are a whole raft of recordings by artistes whom most pop music followers might be challenged to identify - Chuck Reed, Jimmy Lloyd, The Chapparals and Jimmy Isle, for example. Yes. There are a few dud tracks in the mix, but that is totally to be anticipated. But the quality of the reproduction of the music is high and the interest factor of these historic recordings even higher. That, coupled with being offered at a very reasonable price, makes this 50 track compilation excellent value for money.

I had not realised that Charlie Gracie came [ in part ] from that label and there were some other interesting artists whom I had never encountered at the time of their original release. These old compilations are always worth a look and a purchase because they invariably bring out something of interest.

Woo Hoo!
Another great mix of songs and artists from the past. These artists could sing unlike some of the so called singers of today.

Gambler, Winner - and oft-times Loser
Good selection of the wide range of music that George Goldner got to be associated with. Hits and Flops sit side by side and you get the impression that George didn't care that... Read more
