Bop Street - Gene Vincent

Advantages: Loads of Hits from the Golden Era of Rock N Roll
Disadvantages: None

..., trying to get enough money to buy his girl a wedding ring… …”Tell Laura not to cry…my love for her will never die.” Whoa…enough doom and gloom. Let’s get back to Rockin’. Bobby Vee features with “Rubberball”…”Just like a …rubber ball…. I’ll come bouncin’ back to you…”and Connie Francis catches her erring Romeo out with “Lipstick On Your Collar.”…”Mine is baby pink…” The Platters feature with “Smoke Gets In Your Eyes” which those of you old enough to recall will link with an advert for paraffin. Gene Vincent, the rockabilly rebel, who also died tragically young (seems to be a bit of a problem with Rock and Roll singers) features with the instantly recognisable “Be Bop... Read review
