The best box-set of the real Rock'n'Roll Kings. They was first and they are greatest of all of them! Their rhythm and drive is inimitable! Real KINGS!! January 30, 2008

rating: 5 QuoteThe Boss of Rock & RollQuote
I grew up listening to Bill Haley; he was the first real Rockabilly/Rock & Roll artist I ever heard. True, Elvis was earlier (and better), but you didn't hear Elvis's Sun Records in San Diego! Nor did you hear the R&B sounds of Big Joe Turner, Bull Moose Jackson and Wynone Harris...and so many others. (For those who love Bill Haley, I heartily recommend those artists; hell, check out all the '40s/'50s Jump Blues singers/bands.)

I remember watching Blackboard Jungle at the theater and jumping up and down to Rock Around the Clock! It was primal and started a passion for rock 'n' roll that's lasted over 50 years.

I was on a big Rock & Roll roots, Rockabilly and Jump Blues binge in the early 90s when the CD explosion really got the record companies to start mining the backroom vaults. I was buying almost all great Bear Family releases and this was my second or third box set, after Jerry Lee Lewis' Sun Sessions and the Carl Perkin's boxes. This set includes everything Bill did for Decca, including some real crap near the end when he lost his way. Most of the good stuff can be found on any of the 1 or 2 CD best-of releases; I recommend the Rock Around the Clock reissue for anyone who's not a Bill Haley/Rockabilly fanatic, like myself.

I like to have them all, and love the look and graphics of this great box set as well as the great book on Haley. It's pricey, but -- if you can afford it -- you can't go wrong with this set!
