Back in the rock 'n' roll era, many hit records were notoriously short on playing time, often clocking in at two minutes or less. Indeed, the shortest U.S. #1 record was Stay by Maurice Williams & The Zodiacs in 1960, running at just one minute thirty-seven seconds. This is one of two collections, inspired by a suggestion from deejay Bernie 'Rock 'n' Roll Heaven' Keith, each featuring 42 sub-Two Minute Wonders - classic tracks which get the business done in two minutes or less. You'll find a bit of everything here; hits, misses, some that got away, B-sides and EP or LP tracks... Featured artists include Elvis Presley, Eddie Cochran, Buddy Holly, Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, Ray Charles, Del Shannon, Fats Domino, Ray Charles, Everly Brothers, Bobby Darin, Duane Eddy, Ricky Nelson, The Coasters, Jack Scott, and many more.
