Smith & Co

Love it or hate it, Britain had a Rock ‘n’ Roll scene in the late fifties. It even had it Rock ‘n’ Roll stars such as Marty Wilde, Cliff Richard, Tommy Steele and Billy Fury. These rocking musicians are the artists that had your parents (I’m assuming that primarily younger people will be reading these sales notes) and, in many instances, your grand parents, dancing their pants off on a Saturday night. That’s why, despite some derogatory mutters from certain persons about British Rock ‘n’ Roll, the previous 3 volumes of “Great British Rock ‘n’ Roll” are still selling every month. Pure nostalgia, memories of good times and some damn good songs, original or covers, is what makes this series of releases sell. Volume 4 is no exception! Packed with great tracks from the likes of not only the artists mentioned above, but also Johnny Kidd & the Pirates, Vince Taylor, Mort Shuman (then resident in the UK), Larry Page, Tony Crombie and Adam Faith as well as many others lesser names make this another ‘must have’ collection. 70 all time gems from a wonderful era of British music.
