Various Artists - Rock 'n' Roll Days 1

Chuck Berry

Elvis Presley

Fats Domino

Another of my past compilations, from my CD collection, concentrating on the Rock 'n' Roll days (1954-59)...which was based on earlier African/American 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 by the mainstream media...(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 began as R&B and R&R covers or imitations initially. 
This was the good stuff ! - Gus
