This review is from: Super 20's Series: 50's Rock N Roll 1 (Audio CD)
20th Century Rocks, Volume 1: '50s Rock 'N Roll - At the Hop is fifty minutes and sixteen seconds long and was released on May 13, 1997. Of the twenty songs on the CD, six are original recordings and the rest are stereo recordings. The six are: Carl Perkins- Blue Suede Shoes, Jerry Lee Lewis-Great Balls of Fire, Fabian-Tiger, Teddy Bears-To Know Him is to Love Him, Frankie Avalon-Why, and Wilbert Harrison-Kansas City. Fifteen of songs on this CD went to number one with Sh-Boom by the Crew Cuts and Singing the Blues by Guy Mitchell spending nine weeks at number one on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 Singles chart. With the exception of one or two artists, most on them you have probably heard before. This is a great CD to listen to. 20th Century Rocks, Volume 1: '50s Rock 'N Roll - At the Hop gets an AAA+++.
