About Bill Haley - Ultimate Collection

An unmistakable figure in rock and roll's early days, Bill Haley gave the world one of its most memorable tunes of all time, 'Rock Around The Clock'. He may not have been the first white artist to appropriate R&B and suffuse it with country to come up with a new musical form and he would not win any competitions for being the best, yet his timing caught the collective pop imagination and has ensured his ongoing rock immortality. This 42 track, 2 CD set assembles all of Haley's classic sides in one rip-roaring package. From the great hits to the exuberance of 'R.O.C.K' , 'Skinny Minnie' and 'Rock-A- Beatin' Boogie', it is clear to see why Haley deserves his title as the Father of Rock and Roll. Universal. 2006.

This cd has all the charted top 40ty hits unfortunatly it suffers from sloppy mastering the beguing of "Sway With Me" is missing as is the ending of "Rip It Up" but this version is the one heard in the movie "Don't Knock The Rock" has the ending mising too it might have been released that way in England the sound is excelent and I would recomend this collection I would recomend getting this along with the movies "Rock Around The Clock" and "Don't Knock The Rock " also the earlier hits collection 51-54 and a live album "still Rocking Around The Clock" an BMG it is a reisue of a concert from 1971? that was originaly released on the Kamma Sutra label although they have the tracks out of order Bill was one of the true pioneers of rock and roll and helped get it to a wider audience and in the process helped the black artist get heard and recognized February 9, 2008
