IT'S ONLY ROCK & ROLL: Well, certainly had to include THIS repost for the theme as it covers all the years and introduces this fantastic series I fished out of the Goodwill bin one day and I still have a handful of tapes from this series left to rip that feature specific artists. What I wrote before: Got these all at Goodwill with no noticeable gaps in years although there were two albums for some years called 'Still Rockin' but I do connect all the years of rock 'n' roll from it's inception in like 1954 to 1964 when the "Beatle boys" arrived. A great history you may want to read and it too long to put here, suffice it to say this compilation covers all those memorable combinations of hums from catchy songs that stuck in my head growing up and so this would make a fabulous desert island disc.
