BRITISH INSTRUMENTALS

VA - Great British Rock 'n' Roll Instrumentals, Vol. 01+ Vol. 02 [2010-2011] (4 x CDs)

Smith & co. whose "Just About As Good As It Gets" series has already issued much of the cream of the era in various genres, bring two volumes of Great British Rock 'n' Roll Instrumentals. The latter end of the fifties saw the emergence of what some 'purest' aficionados consider, the first seriously good Brit Rock 'n' Roll in the form of instrumental hits. Certainly, America was the leader in this genre, but the British caught on during the 1950's producing a large number of highly creditable recordings, many of which are completely forgotten today. This Collection may help to set the record straight with Instrumental and Rock 'n' Roll fans alike finding many welcome surprises wandering through these. There's a great deal of extraordinarily good stuff here, including some piano boogie woogie, and some good covers of American hits as well. All lovingly mastered recordings feature on each of these double CD collections. Vol. 01 focuses on Original Rock 'n' Roll recordings 1949-1959 and Vol. 02 focuses on Original Rock 'n' Roll recordings 1952-1961. (Amazon)
