Customer Reviews of This Album/CD |

 Great collection, one little mistake...
Submitted on: 2009-10-02 |
|
| Baby Let Me Hold Your Hand by HOAGY LANDS is not the original version of this song - Professor Longhair cut this tune in 1957 for the Ebb label and I am certain its origins as a folksong are much older. |

 Great Disc

| Most of the time the original is the best. This holds true here.I fought the law is great as is Ruby don't take your love to town. Wild thing Louie and Louie rock and the rest are well worth the price of the disc. |

Another ace from ACE. Excellent CD. It's hard to fathom why some of these weren't hits first time around. In many cases, some of the originals on this CD are better than the latter hit versions e.g. 'This Diamond Ring', 'California Sun', 'Go Now' & 'I just don't know what to do with myself'. The jewel in the crown here is 'Rock Arouind the Clock', while not exactly 'a great record', it is a 'must have' for any genuine record collector of the 'pop era'.
No doubt, there would be plenty more gems to follow-up this one, say for maybe, a vol 2 or vol 3. How about it ACE??
Thanks again for an excellent product. |

Link to mp3 is incorrect

| Is Amazon aware that the link to the mp3 version of this album goes to some other album entirely? I'd consider buying if I could find the product. |

Ace Records scores another 5 star package. This time with the original versions of some famous 50's and 60's rock "n" roll hits. Outstanding cuts, in this package, of
non-misses, include Mark James own version of the song he wrote that Elvis took to #1, "Suspicious Minds". "A Rockin' Good Way" from Priscella Bowman & The Spaniels is equal to Brook and Dinah's hit. From way out in left field is Barbie Gaye's 1956 recording of "My Boy Lollipop" and the Carson & Gayle version of "Something Stupid". There are no real, honest to goodness, clunkers on this 26 cut CD, but there are 22 more tracks that will make you say "man, that's pretty cool. |
