Another of my past compilations, from my CD collection, concentrating on the Rock 'n' Roll days (1954-59)...which was based on earlier Rhythm & Blues music and taken up by numerous white artists (Fats Domino, to put things into perspective, was the best selling artist at the time after Elvis) ...It was largely seen in the USA as degenerate music at the time (but not by the hip or teenage kids )...Pat Boone and others supplied insipid covers for the masses and the USA popular music scene was soon coerced back to forgettable pap...awaiting the 'British Invasion' started by The Beatles - 'I Want To Hold Your Hand' in 1964...which itself started as R&B and R&R covers or imitations initially.
This was the good stuff ! - Gus

Thanks, GuitarGus!
For those fussy d/ls I've ripped to flac as well and will post if requested...but this mp3 is so called 'Lame Insane Quality at 320kbs/48khz' and sounds as good
