Description

When Rock 'n' Roll hit the stores of Britain with Bill Haley, El, Gene, Fats & Little Richard, the back lash from the British Music Press was by way of incredible condescension towards the music. The strange thing about the attitude of those journalists is that Rock 'n' Roll had existed in Britain before 1956 and the coming of Presley, albeit in a slightly more relaxed form. This second fascinating collection sets out again to show something of what was going on in Britain between 1954 and 1957. By 1957 British Rock 'n' Roll was a little more mature, although still much maligned. It was the vocal side of things that was showing an understanding of the genre better. Singers like Marty Wilde and Terry Dene were obviously listening to American records and learning the vocal inflections, something that would make such a difference in the future. With Cliff Richard, Johnny Kidd, Vince Taylor and Dickie Pride waiting in the wings, British Rock 'n' Roll was on the move.
