Back in the rock 'n' roll era, many hit records were notoriously short on playing time, often clocking in at two minutes or less. The shortest UK No.1 was ‘What Do You Want, by Adam Faith in 1959, at just one minute thirty-eight seconds. These collections, inspired by a suggestion from deejay Bernie “Rock ‘n’ Roll Heaven” Keith, each feature 42 killer tracks which get the business done in two minutes or less. You’ve got a bit of everything here; hits, misses, some that got away, B-sides, EP and LP tracks. Featured artists include Billy Fury, Cliff Richard, The Shadows, Marty Wilde, Joe Brown, Adam Faith, Johnny Kidd & The Pirates, Lord Rockingham’s XI, Jimmy Justice, The Krew Kats, John Leyton, Emile Ford & The Checkmates, and many others.
