The Golden Age Of American Rock 'n' Roll, Volume 1: Hard-To-Get Hot 100 Hits From 1954-1963

I am a enthousiastic collector, and have almost all the Time Life rock n roll stuff, as well as Eric Records cds of this era. Although they are essential to any 50s 60s collection, nothing can top ACE series.I could comment like this on all the 50s remasters of this fabulous record label, not only their other editions, but especially the Golden Age of American Rock n roll. I can not add anything to the positive reviews than simply summing up my personal view:30 tracks per cd, and sometimes! (Time life is also excellent, but you get 15 per cd!)excellent booklets with background info (not surpassed by any label).not the same old songs over again, but many rare and still excellent tracks!last but not least amazing sound quality.So although you might have some songs there on other collections, it is for above mentioned points alone worth it to always have an ACE copy as well.

Loved the music selection on this CD … Unfortunately, though it claimed to be in very good shape, it was badly worn and damaged on the front on the CD, causing bad disruption and garbling on the audio. Should have been inspected and caught before shipping.Item returned.

The perfect gift for a friend who loves American Rock and Roll. We sent it to a friend in France (an older gentleman who doesn't have internet) and he loves it!!

The Golden Age of Rock and Roll has original artists and recordings.

CD had many good songs - though it seems you cannot get all your favorites. The sound was excellent.

So so songs on it ,not to happy with it

The CD is advertised as 100 hits, it only has 30 songs on it. I wrote to Amazon but haven't heard back. I want the other 70 songs.

If the other volumes following this in this series are like this volume 1, we've got a real winner here, I have quite a few oldies cd's but I must admit this one is probably the best, it is flawless and really awesome to hear these oldies done in such perfection as this volume.I plan to buy more of these from this series, you can't go wrong with these and you will be very satisfied.

No, You Can't Go Wrong With Issues From U.K. ACE Records ( CDs )Just One Small Problem....If Your Music Library Grows By Purcchasing Some Of These CDs, There Is A Big Chance There Will Be Some Duplication Of Tracks In Theeir Series Of Issues.This Is Not A Big Deal For Me. For Many Of These Tracks I have On Vinyl Anyway, But There Is Less Wear And Tear By Playing The CDs While Preserving My Vinyl.In The Event That There Are " B " Sides That I Sometimes Liked Better Than The " Hit " Side(s) That's No Longer A Worry Either, Simply Because Now ACE Records ( U.K. ) Has Now Come Up With The " Flip Sides "A Series Which Contains Some Off The Best Of The Flip Sides*( * One Of These CDs Contains " Give Me Love " The B-Side Of The Million-Selling " Angel Baby " As By The Late Rosie ( Hamlin ) And The Originals Out Of San Diego. Thing Is, Although Still Credited To Rosie And Group, The Vocalist On " Give Me Love " Was A Cat By The Name Of Blueford Wade )Still, This Is A Great Set. Covering Many Years Of Some Of The Greatest Music Ever Recorded.

A fantastic compilation.How the majority of these records never charted in the U.K is beyond me

Good item.

EXCELLENT CD SHOWING THE VARIED STYLES OF SONGS FROM THE EARLY DAYS OF THE ROCK N' ROLL REVOLUTION IN AMERICA

Very good
