Details: Amazon.caFor those of us who grew up in the ’70s, this drive-in compilation of ’50s and ’60s rock and doo-wop, complete with Wolfman Jack introductions, was our introduction to this music. There are 41 jukebox hits here, and every one of them is a classic of its time (although two tracks–« At the Hop » and « She’s so Fine » are covers by the revival band Flash Cadillac & the Continental Kids). In his 1973 movie, director George Lucas used the music (and the presence of mysterious deejay Wolfman) as the AM-radio soundtrack to one night in suburban California, 1962. The idea was to capture and sustain an end-of-summer, end-of-innocence mood that’s in the air throughout the picture– not as a shortcut to establishing a period (as in Robert Zemeckis’Forrest Gump). There’s an awful lot of spontaneous energy in these tunes–from Chuck Berry and Buddy Holly, to the Platters and the Clovers and the Del-Vikings, to the Crests and the Beach Boys–and also just a hint of melancholy that goes down very nicely with a burger, shake, and fries. –Jim EmersonProduct description2CD set. Official 1973 original soundtrack with 41 killer tracks from the 50s & early 60s featuring Buddy Holly, Chuck Berry, Del Shannon, Platters, Flamingos, Bill Haley, Diamonds, Beach Boys & more!
