England's Westside label has released four two-disc sets that spotlight labels owned by George Goldner in the '50s and '60s: Rama, Gee, Gone, and End. The End Story collects 63 rock and R&B cuts recorded from 1957-1965 for the End label, from big hits by the Flamingos and Little Anthony & the Imperials to total obscurities by forgotten artists. Most of the recordings are doo wop and R&B with only a handful of rockers – far fewer rock cuts, overall, than appear on The Gone Story. For a number of artists, End was a stopover on the way to or from greener commercial pastures: the Bobbettes, Little Richard, the Shells, and the Teenagers after Frankie Lymon left to pursue a solo career.

Another quality Time-Life music collection with 500 originals from the period 1955-1964, the so called "Rock'n'Roll Era". In addition of this wonderful classics' parade, you will acquire a R'n'R encyclopedia, since each CD comes with an extensive description and historical data, in a 6 page booklet, scanned at 600 dpi. Enjoy excellent music and artwork.

Beat music, British beat, or Merseybeat (after bands from Liverpool and nearby areas beside the River Mersey) is a pop and rock music genre that developed in the United Kingdom in the early 1960s. Beat music is a fusion of rock and roll (mainly Chuck Berry guitar style and the midtempo beat of artists like Buddy Holly), doo-wop, skiffle and R&B. The genre provided many of the bands responsible for the British Invasion of the American pop charts starting in 1964, and provided the model for many important developments in pop and rock music, including the format of the rock group around lead, rhythm and bass guitars with drums. The Beat Of The Pops - excellent selection of beat tracks.
