Album Notes

Liner Note Author: Brian Parks.

Recording information: 1953-1961.

This three-disc collection features music recorded in the '50s and '60s that inspired the film American Graffiti. Among the 75 tracks are the original versions of "Rock Around the Clock," "Sh-Boom," "Johnny B. Goode," "Get a Job," and "At the Hop." This is a great set for casual listeners who only want the hits of that era. ~ Al Campbell
