The ten CDs are, so to speak, the antidote to our eroticly charged box '' Sex, Drugs And Alcohol '': Absolutely youthful, this new edition is full of romance, longing, love cries and the accompanying drama. The Rockn Roll era, which was otherwise so wild, has given us a lot of memorable love songs, which the young Elvis was so lucky enough to make on his first LP.
In the 1970s, disco was the biggest selling musical genre in the world. Disco fever spread globally and millions of records were sold. Nearly 50 years on, disco's resurgence and reinvention continues with disco inspired hits in the music charts today. Disco Inferno celebrates this phenomenal era by gathering 100 of the most iconic disco classics of all time.
A whopping three CDs, and 56 songs, from Hooker's early sessions that were unreleased at the time, although they were available for a while in the early 1970s on some United Artists LPs. Like his more widely known material of the period, it mostly features Hooker unaccompanied, though he's aided by piano and second guitarists on a few tracks. Some of these are alternates of songs that were released in different versions, or embryonic renditions of compositions that evolved into somewhat different shapes. Especially interesting are early versions of his big hit "I'm in the Mood for Love." It's too much at once, though, and too unvarying in approach, for anyone but Hooker specialists. General fans are advised to stick with The Legendary Modern Recordings, which has 24 more renowned, and somewhat more accomplished, tracks from the same era. It's certainly a well-done package, though, containing a 38-page insert with detailed liner notes and session information.

The Rockn Roll era, which was otherwise so wild, has given us a lot of memorable love songs, which the young Elvis was so lucky enough to make on his first LP. He is in this box as well as many of his Rock'n'Roll-colleagues, but there are hardly any well-known singers, who have not dealt with heartache and love-passion during their career:
10 CD box set of 200 original recordings from the golden age of rock 'n' roll. Featuring Chuck Berry, Little Richard, Elvis Presley, Bo Dilley, Cliff Richard, Roy Orbison, Jerry Lee Lewis, Eddie Cochran, Conway Twitty and many others. his CD Set is very much a Rock 'N' Roll Set. Ten Discs of fantastic music, mostly from the late 1950's. This Set doesn't have the usual mix of "Bluer Suede Shoes", "Jailhouse Rock" or "Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On", but has a good mix of classic hits and unusual stuff. If you, like me, like the old music of the 50's and 60's, this is the CD Set for you. Have fun, and keep on Rockin'.
