VA - Great British Rock 'n' Roll Vol.3 (2009)

Volume 3 in the highly acclaimed “Just about as good as it gets!” series. Includes early Cliff Richards and Shadows (The Drifters) recordings. British rock ‘n’ roll still has some harsh critics, despite the huge improvement in sound mastering and the discovery of so many genuine gems included on this compilation. Yet, on the other side, interest continues to grow in this hybrid of the original. Rock ‘n’ roll and Jive clubs now often pulsate to the sounds of the Southlanders, Ray Ellington, Tony Crombie and Wee Willie Harris and many others, bringing home to so many that quite a large chunk of those 50’s British rockers were really good. So enjoy some of the best one more time.
