A Jam-packed Crazy project offering krrraaaazy value, A compilation, compiling 30 bands from 23 EEC nations.
Established bands like Spo-Dee-O-Dee, Lil' Esther & the Tin Stars, the Firebirds, Marco Di Maggio, the Sabrejets and Ronnie Nightingale & The Haydocks share real estate with many upcoming acts on a hot compilation of almost totally exclusive tracks, including bands from the likes of Slovenia, Latvia, Croatia, the Czech Republic, Estonia, Poland, Greece, Luxembourg and Malta!
''Rock-Around The EEC'' is finely packaged and includes a photo and brief background information on all 30 bands. Packed to the gills, indeed an album and a half's material of well-known names and hitherto obscure national representations. We could have stopped with 20, 24, even 28 tracks but were determined to locate and include bands from every possible EEC nation. Although it took a while, to our knowledge we have done that for every EEC country where rock'n'roll exists (for just 2, it seems there are none).
This album includes the only rockin' act from Slovenia and also the first ever ''50s style rock'n'roll'' recording released of someone from the tiny island of Malta (population circa 350,000). Offering not just an album's worth of familiar 'leading' names but also a helluva LOT more on top, you'll be surprised by the consistently classy calibre of these here contents. 30 bands, 23 nations, 30 tracks housing the best European compilation possible of Today's & Tomorrow's Talent... Rock'n'Roll is here to Stay!!
