Rockin' and Croonin' on Bandstand 2-CD
After the initial rise of Rock 'n' Roll in the 1950s, thanks to the power of TV the city of Philadelphia briefly became the centre of teenage music. This double-disc set charts the rise of Philadelphia’s influence via the popularity of the TV show American Bandstand.
These 44 recordings were made between 1957 and 1959, and include such classics as At the Hop, Butterfly and Tallahassee Lassie. Virtually every one of the tracks on this great set was a chart hit record either in America or the UK, and often both.
