DaveN 1,118 Posted July 5, 2015 Report Share Posted July 5, 2015 Quite a number of years ago I bought a box set (21 cds) called “Rock ‘n’ Roll Forever” from the now disappeared Selectadisc. I’m sure the many fans of this music would like it.The artists are Jerry Lee Lewis – Gene Vincent – Bill Haley – Duane Eddy – Elvis Presley – Ricky Nelson – Fats Domino – Carl Perkins – Chuck Berry – Bo Diddley – Buddy Holly – Wanda Jackson – Coasters – Johnny & The Hurricanes - Little Richard – Platters – Roy Orbison – Everly Bros – Charlie Rich – Bobby Vee and a compilation album of the aforementioned as well. I don’t know if it’s still available but if you're a fan of the music it's worth looking out for. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DaveN 1,118 Posted July 5, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2015 That's a good selection Michael. I've also got the majority of the "Dreamboats & Petticoats" compilation sets which have tracks from the 50's and early 60's. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Michael Booth 7,364 Posted July 6, 2015 Report Share Posted July 6, 2015 'Black Slacks', recorded by Joe Bennett & The Sparkletones in 1957, is a good one to jive to. Paul Anka, aged 15, was recording in the studio that day and joined the backing singers on 'Black Slacks'. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
