Editorial Reviews
This is the first RockBeat Pulp and Pop Culture box set, compiled after sorting through the vastness of the vinyl landfill for this collection of rare and unique tracks. In the day, some felt the performances were too raw, there wasn't enough payola and the subject matters was too far out to get broad exposure but these tracks represent the heart and soul of what made rock and roll fun in the 50s and 60s.

The songs are compiled thematically and the subject of each song is based on what was happening in pulp and pop culture at the time. Rock and Roll Invasion deals with the space race and aliens, Voodoo Dolls the fascination with horror and occult films, Teenage Rebels is a response to the new concept of juvenile delinquents and Wild Guitar Instrumentals is a response to the uninhibited growth of rock n roll.

In the Eisenhower era, we had b/w television with just 3 stations so we were glued to our radios. The RockBeat Pulp and Pop Culture box set is a digital reboot of those times, bringing a plethora of passionate, off-kilter recordings to be enjoyed all over again. And to further connect yourself to the past, we ve packaged these in mini LP jackets and a hard bound bound box,

Who are these people, Rockbeat Records? They seem to be some very cool people.

I know very few of these artists but this looks like an interesting set. I'm in!

Reminds me of some of the WFMU marathon DJ promos...
