For the first time ever, these unique 1950s Rock 'n' Roll and Hill-Billy Boogie 45s have been put together in a collection. It tells the story of 1950s America, charting events such as: Space Travel-Teenage Rebellion-Flying Saucers-Satellites-invasions by little green men and the paranoia surrounding the birth of the atomic bomb. This is the golden age of Rock 'n' Roll and an important cultural record of a time when no one knew what the hell was going to happen next!
