Now Available: ATLANTIC ROCK & ROLL SERIES
It was six decades ago this past spring that Atlantic Records kicked off a little something called the Rock & Roll series, wherein the label would compile collections of hit singles from the greatest new artists of the day. To celebrate the fact that these compilations have hit the big 6-0, Rhino is paying tribute by reissuing the six classic albums in a box set, one featuring reproductions of the original artwork as well as a new booklet featuring liner notes.
Who are the six artists spotlighted in this package?
• DISC 1: Clyde McPhatter & The Drifters
• DISC 2: Ruth Brown
• DISC 3: Joe Turner
• DISC 4: Ray Charles
• DISC 5: LaVern Baker
• DISC 6: Ivory Joe Hunter
