Our Take

If Pitchfork reviewed the album "VARIOUS ARTISTS London American Label Year By Year - 1956," it would go something like this:

Ah, the London American Label - known for bringing American rock 'n' roll to the UK in the 1950s. It's like a musical time machine, whisking us back to a time of greased hair and bobby socks.

This collection of tracks from 1956 is a delight for any rockabilly enthusiast. From Elvis Presley's hip-shaking "Hound Dog" to Chuck Berry's classic "Roll Over Beethoven," this album is a treasure trove of hits.

But it's not just the big names that shine on this compilation. Lesser-known artists like Screamin' Jay Hawkins and Wanda Jackson also make their mark, proving that the London American Label had an eye for talent.

The remastering job on these tracks is top-notch, bringing out the raw energy and excitement of the era. If you close your eyes, you can almost picture yourself at a 1950s sock hop, dancing the night away.

Overall, "London American Label Year By Year - 1956" is a must-have for any music lover. It's a nostalgic journey through one of the most exciting periods in music history. So grab your dancing shoes, crank up the volume, and let the good times roll.
