Description:

Time Life Music`s three-disc, 45-track Ultimate Oldies But Goodies Collection covers a wide breadth of music from the 1950s and early `60s. Peppered throughout with obvious gems like "The Great Pretender" (the Platters), "Summertime Blues" (Eddie Cochran), and "(We`re Gonna) Rock Around the Clock" (Bill Haley & His Comets), the collection does a great job weaving in less ubiquitous cuts like Dale Hawkins` "Susie-Q" and Marv Johnson`s "You Got What It Takes," resulting in one of the more solid oldies overviews on the market. ~ James Christopher Monger
