4.0 out of 5 stars Newer songs mostly, December 25, 2005

This review is from: Rock & Roll Collection 1: Rock's Pioneers (Audio CD)

All of the songs except for "Blue Suede Shoes" and "Great Balls of Fire" are new stereo recordings. They sound good, and they are original artists. If you don't like new recordings pass on this, if you do go ahead and buy it cheap.
