5.0 out of 5 stars We Aint Dead Yet!!, June 13, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Aged to Perfection (Audio CD)

The five ORIGINAL Comets that gave us the national anthem of Rock and Roll "Rock Around The Clock" are back and Aged to Perfection. These guys shine on such tracks as "Viagra Rock", "Your the Greatest", and "We Aint Dead Yet". Marshall Lytles vocals are tight and supply that classic sound. The guys preserve the 50's and sound just as good as they did back in 1955. Don't let age fool ya...68-80 years young, and they can still hold your attention and keep ya coming back for more. Radio, Retail and Rock fans, DON'T sleep on this 2002 release from Rollin Rock Records. These are the true legends of Rock and Roll...and they don't show signs of slowing down..watch out Bam Bam & Al Rappa. Chad Zimmerman ZEG, INC/Music Review

5.0 out of 5 stars A Work Of Pure Genius!, July 12, 2002

This album is so good, even i have started stocking it... and i'm not even a businessman! The Original Comets are still as fresh today, as they were on the 12th April 1954, when Rock Around The Clock was originally recorded.

People would believe that after 48 years, these guys would have slowed down, or even be sitting around in Rocking Chairs... but, oh no! These guys are utterly dynamic, and sheer excellence!

This album is an absolute must have for anybody who appreciates good quality music... so, treat your hi-fi to something decent for a change, and buy this great album!

5.0 out of 5 stars A gem by the originals!, July 7, 2002

I've had this CD a few months now, and it keeps sounding better and better. If you love Bill Haley's Decca and Essex classics - or just good original rock 'n'roll - it's highly recommended. The Original Comets are Marshall Lytle, Franny Beecher, Johnny Grande, Dick Richards and Joey D'Ambosio - all with impeccable 50s Haley pedigrees - augmented by UK vocalist Jacko Buddin on a few recreations, including Happy Baby and Dim Dim The Lights. Jacko does a fine job, especially on Happy Baby. But the highlights of the album are Marshall's vocals on Viagra Rock, We Ain't Dead Yet, Somewhere There's A Woman, Eat Your Heart Out Annie and You're The Greatest, along with Joey's magnificent, rasping Don't Push Your Luck and Buona Sera. The playing throughout is fresh, crisp and vital - no tired revivalism here. New, original and great! You'll love it.
