Various Artists - Rare Rock 'N' Roll Rampage

Boyd Bennett, Freddie Bell and Eddie Fontaine are just some of the artists featured on this boxed set, who took the hint from R&B pioneers like Louis Jordan and Paul Williams and made rock 'n' roll their business. This 100 track set sums up the damage they caused from 1953 through to 1957. Acknowledged expert Adam Komorowski has trawled through the archives to come up with this bunch of lesser known tracks which gives an alternative to the endless compilations featuring Elvis, Chuck, Jerry Lee and Little Richard. All of the Properbox components are present: slimline box, great cover design and booklet packed with info and rare pictures.
