Rock’n’roll was born in the United States – and 1958 was the year it was exported to the rest of the world. Buddy Holly, who kicks off our first disc with ‘Rave On’, hit British shores in March with the force of a musical hurricane. Following closely behind him were the likes of The Chordettes, Bobby Day, The Everly Brothers and Connie Francis, all included here on this 2 disc compilation.
