Various Artists – 80 rock & roll classics : American Graffiti 

The Fifties were a golden era in music with respect to the genres of rock ‘n’ roll, doo wop, R&B, and pop. George Lucas’ film American Graffiti was more than just a nostalgic movie about the 1950s. It provided an excellent representation of the aforementioned musical styles, and helped introduce them to younger audiences. This essential 3-CD collector’s edition contains a selection of 80 emblematic rock ‘n’ roll tracks, which formed an intrinsic part of the soundtrack of that era. Here you can find the most influential artists from rock ‘n’ roll’s inception in the 1950s and early 1960s. All of these remastered tunes, the majority of which were hits at the time, represent a formidable slice of American popular culture.
