Shopping For Clothes - The Soundtrack Of The Best-Dressed Generation CD

• NEW RELEASE COMING SOON • PRE-ORDER NOW •

The 1950s gave the world more than Rock 'n' Roll. They created a youth culture with its own identity, where blue jeans, leather jackets, saddle shoes and sharp suits became symbols of freedom, individuality and rebellion. Shopping For Clothes - The Soundtrack Of The Best-Dressed Generation celebrates that remarkable era with 37 superb Rock 'n' Roll, Rockabilly and Rhythm & Blues recordings inspired by the fashions that helped define a generation.

Featuring legendary artists including Gene Vincent, Carl Perkins, Eddie Cochran, The Coasters, Joe Bennett and His Sparkletones, Glen Glenn, Bobby Freeman and many more, this fascinating collection explores the close relationship between music, style and teenage culture. From blue jeans and black slacks to leather jackets, penny loafers and pink shoe laces, these songs capture the excitement of an era when fashion became part of the Rock 'n' Roll revolution.

Complete with a lavishly illustrated 36-page booklet featuring rare photographs and detailed notes, Shopping For Clothes is far more than a themed compilation. It's a musical snapshot of the generation that gave Rock 'n' Roll its unmistakable look as well as its unforgettable sound, making it an essential addition to any Rock 'n' Roll or Rockabilly collection.
