Various Artists

Description

Oldies Twin Best is a generously stocked CD compilation drawing from the heart of the 1950s rock and roll and pop explosion. The disc opens with Bill Haley & The Comets’ landmark ‘(We’re Gonna) Rock Around The Clock’ and moves through a remarkable cross-section of the era, including Buddy Holly’s timeless ‘Peggy Sue’, the irresistible doo-wop of Del Vikings’ ‘Come Go With Me’, and the unforgettable double feature of ‘At The Hop’ from both Nick Todd and Danny & The Juniors. Alongside these are pop novelties, teen ballads, and regional oddities that capture the full, eclectic character of mid-century American popular music. An excellent single-disc introduction to the sounds that defined a generation…
