Teen Beat 2CD

Sandy Nelson • Teen Beat 2CD

The late 1950s and early 1960s marked the golden age of Rock 'n' Roll instrumentals, and Sandy Nelson became the era's undisputed drumming superstar. Already an in-demand session musician while still in his teens, Nelson burst onto the charts in 1959 when Teen Beat became a worldwide million-seller. He followed it with the even bigger international smash Let There Be Drums, confirming his place as one of the most influential instrumental artists of the Rock 'n' Roll era.

This outstanding 47-track double CD brings together Sandy Nelson's first seven singles alongside his first three classic LPs. Packed with driving rhythms, infectious melodies and the energetic performances that inspired generations of drummers, it's the definitive collection from the man who put the drums centre stage.
