It is generally accepted that Rock 'n' Roll only really came into being with the arrival on the scene of Elvis Presley in about 1954. However, many of the tracks in this collection give the lie to that assumption and prove that not only had the music been around for several years, but some of the greatest recordings in the genre were made some time before 'The King.'
