This fantastic oldiescollection represents the"soundtrack of my life"! Every song is proofthat rock-n-roll is hereto stay!A must for every collector! Rock on,

I found only Vol. 3 of the boxed sets (78 songs, though the box says 80) in a retail store. Some of the artists are not the ones I remember, but perhaps they were the first to record a particular song.

After reading many of the reviews, I just wanted to mention that the sound quality is excellent. Digitally remastered and sounds better than anyone could have remembered. Secondly if this is not your kind of music i.e. you dont like oldies or fun 50's music this is NOT for you. For the rest of you out there, this is better than most collections out there for the mere reason that it covers so much and sounds so good

You will be the hit of any party with this collection seeing as you have over 200 songs and they are so much fun.....This collection was made and produced by Art Laboe, and if you dont know who that is, just google him and find out..

THIS UNIQUE OLDIES BOX SET BRINGS BACK MANY MEMORIES OF MY YOUTH. I GREW UP LISTENING TO THE SAME SONGS AND ARTISTS FOUND IN THIS COLLECTION. NIGHTIME WOULD FIND ME LYING IN BED WITH MY TRANSISTOR RADIO PRESSED AGAINST MY EAR. I GREW UP LISTENING TO THE EXACT SAME MUSIC FOUND IN THIS OUTSTANDING COLLECTION. I BUY TONS OF MUSIC BUT THIS BOX SET WILL ALWAYS REMAIN MY MOST WORTHWHILE INVESTMENT.

What a great, great set. Maybe I've spent to much time inside but I know or know of every performing artists here, no stranger at all.

I've been a collector of this early RockNRoll stuff since CD's came in around '82 and have thousands of songs. These are the original and like mentioned before they are in pristine condition.

Current sellers (Aug 2010) are gouging/squeezing the buyer for sure but look around the net, you'll can find some deals.

Enjoy...

I grew up with this music and it is great to have it around the house. People, even those a good bit younger than I am, just can't help wanting to dance when they hear the music. I'm extremely pleased.

There are some good songs on this set but not enough to make it worth the money. I think it would be better to save your money and buy a cheaper oldies set that has more popular songs. A lot of these were unfamiliar to me. One good point is that these are all original recordings, but there were only about 20 good songs.

I bought one of these for a Christmas present for my brother and one for me. We're both connoiseurs of this music.

When all was said and done, there is most certainly some good stuff here, and it's fairly representative of that era. But quite frankly, there are way too many 2nd and 3rd rate cuts included to make this set worth owning.

I played mine so few times that I don't even know where it is any more. I'm especially sorry I gave one to my brother for Christmas. He deserved better.
