Various Artists - Great British Rock 'n' Roll Volume 5 1953-1960

Our Just About As Good As It Gets! series is now an established guarantee of great value, authoritative compilations, expert re-mastering, consistently recognisable presentation, positive reviews and persistent sales in the Formula One reissue market. So no further introduction required? Well perhaps a few more words about this particular 2CD set�Some reviewers were suspicious when we released Great British Rock 'n' Roll 1 in 2007. Did the UK produce any great rock 'n' roll in the 1950s? Or was this just a play on words, alluding to the efforts of homage to the USA by young upstarts in a North Atlantic monarchy that still then called itself Great Britain? After three successive volumes and now into 5 the judges rumble on amongst themselves while we continue to prove that along with the big three - Cliff Richard, Marty Wilde and Billy Fury - there was a lot more cooking in Britain at the time than is generally remembered. Some of it is ham, much of it is beef, mostly prime cuts. Exotic vegetables and wavy gravy served on the side.
