About Teen Beat, Volume 1: 30 Great Rockin' Instrumentals
Review 30 instrumentals from the late '50s and early '60s, the era when instrumental rock was at its peak. Most of these were hits, though a few of them didn't make the Top 20, and some didn't even make the Top 100. Hence the selections are often more obscure than what you'll find on Rhino's Rock Instrumentals series. The lesser-known ones, though a boon to collectors, simply aren't as good or imaginative. It's a serviceable supplement, though, if you're looking for more of the style, and the best cuts are certainly dynamite. --Richie Unterberger, All Music Guide Product Description Includes "Walk-Don't Run" Ventures; "Raunchy" Ernie Freeman; "The Green Mosquito" Tune Rockers; "The Happy Organ" Dave "Baby" Cortez; "Nut Rocker" B.
