I was largely unaware of this Australian record label and so found the sleeve notes quite informative. However if you are expecting this to be a collection of Rolf Harris style tunes you'll be disappointed as only 'The Jockeys are Striking' by the Webb Brothers fits this mould. As the title track (a 1956 recording by Buddy Holly) indicates this selection is almost all rock and roll. Actually 25 of the tracks (like Buddy's) are American Decca recordings. Five more are other American recordings sourced via Top Rank. The remaining 20 Australian tracks mostly ape the American style and one track is actually by visiting Americans (Harriot and Evans covering a minor hit by Bobby Hendrick) and one other is by a New Zealand group (Herma Keil & Keil Isles). There are a couple of stereo tracks here but most are presented in the original mono. Also the track claiming to feature Jackie Wilson actually features Milton Merle doing his best Jackie impression (according to 45cat).Read full review
