SIX-FIVE SPECIAL! & JACK GOOD’S ‘OH BOY!’ on CD
EARLY BRITISH TELEVISED ROCK’N’ROLL
39 TRACKS ON 1 CD
Towards the end of the 1950s when television and rock and roll were in their infancy the BBC launched its first attempt at a rock and roll programme. Noisy, brash and chaotic, the highbrow press hated it but young people took it to their hearts. Six-Five Special was born and almost a year later Oh Boy! was launched on ITV by the same producer, Jack Good. It was an all-out blast of streamlined rock’n’roll – akin to a rocket launch! This fantastic CD has a whopping 39 tracks featuring big names like Don Lang, Jim Dale & Cliff Richard.
