Als die Musikbranche vor sechs Jahrzehnten vom Erfolg der neuen Musik namens Rock'n`Roll überrollt wurde, wollte jede Plattenfirma möglichst ihren eigenen Elvis Presley haben. Sogar Country-Interpreten wie Marty Robbins versuchten ihr Glück mit rockigen Rhythmen, die in den 1950er Jahren aus sämtlichen Musikkboxen dröhnten. Neben den weit verbreiteten Vinyl-Singleplatten mit je einem Song auf einer Seite gab es auch Langspielplatten, die meist zwölf Titel enthielten. Diese Box vereint die heute unbezahlbaren Debut-Alben vieler jungen Musiker, die später zu Stars der Rock'n`Roll-Szene wurden wie Buddy Holly, Eddie Cochran, Gene Vincent oder Jerry Lee Lewis. Die mehr als 240 Titel zeigen, wie vielseitig die Teenager- Musik damals war: von Chuck Berrys eleganten Eigenkompositionen über Jerry Lee Lewis wilden Piano-Boogie bis zu Elvis Schmachtfetzen und Instrumentals von Gitarrist Duane Eddy oder der Combo Johnny and the Hurricanes. Interessant zu hören ist nicht nur, wie Bill Haley die musikalische Brücke vom Country zum Rock'n'Roll baut, sondern auch, wie unterschiedlich verschiedene Künstler einen Song interpretieren: Auf diesen CDs hören wir Carl Perkins "Blue suede shoes" und Little Richards "Tutti Frutti" auch in der Version des jungen Elvis, der im Gegensatz zu Fats Domino und anderen Stars nie eigene Titel geschrieben hat. Als Chubby Checker kurz vor der Beatles-Ära zum Twisten aufrief, hatte der Rock'n'Roll seine Hochzeit schon hinter sich und die noch unbekannten Beatles und Rolling Stones bedienten sich kräftig aus dem Fundus der Rockin` Fifties. Diese Box bietet das Beste von weltberühmten Interpreten wie Ricky Nelson, Wanda Jackson oder Cliff Richard, der als Elvis-Nachahmer in England eine Karriere startete, die bis zum heutigen Tag andauert.
