Information Specifications

This is a re-issue in a 4-CD set of a highly popular and successful Acrobat release which was originally released as a 6-CD set, but now discontinued in that form. Here in one unique collection is the opportunity to hear 120 of the early Rock and Roll tracks that changed the face of popular music forever. For the baby boom generation, 1956 was a cataclysmic year, as suddenly a whole swathe of exciting new music was heard among the bland offerings on mainstream radio. This was rock n roll, but what happened that year was not a sudden revolution the elements of the style had been developing in R &B, country, blues and rockabilly for several years.

It was, perhaps, the catalyst of mass media, especially TV, that gave the burgeoning young market access to the music. These are the recordings that became the soundtrack to a generations life, as teenagers became a new social force in the post war world. Elvis Presley, Carl Perkins, Chuck Berry, Little Richard and Fats Domino, the architects of a revolutionary sound, are all featured here alongside the R&B and country pioneers who sowed the seeds that led to this explosion of new music. Full liner notes with detailed history of all of the 120 tracks make this the one of the most comprehensive collections of Rocks early years.
