Johnny Kidd

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'.

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.
