Customer Rating: 
Summary: Good music, shame about the mixing
Comment: Excellent music all through - just a shame that the 'wolfman' (radio announcer from the movie) is talking over the start and finish of a few of the songs, so you dont get the full 'real' track. The announcer should have been in seperate tracks, so that it didn't affect the actual song tracks.
Luckily there's only 2 or 3 songs like this.

Summary: BRINGS BACK ALOT OF MEMORIES
Comment: I HAVE THIS DOUBLE CD IN MY CAR AND I NEVER GROW TIRED OF HEARING IT OVER AND OVER!
NICE SELECTIONS OF THE OLDIES
Customer Rating:
Summary: Excellent!
Comment: I bought this CD as a gift for my mom and she loves it. The sound quality is great. I could live without Wolfman Jack, who talks occasionally between songs. After you've heard him the first time, he gets a little tiresome. It's a bit expensive, but it is a 2 CD set and worth the money for such a great collection.

Summary: Classic Oldies Collection
Comment: This is a wonderful CD to chill, party, dance or just take you back. This is the best collection of oldies I own and there are 2 CD's! I highly recommmend this to any baby boomer or anyone who just loves the good old oldies.

Summary: why so expensive?
Comment: A great cd, but why the price? I paid over $41 for this from Amazon(that includes freight and exchange rate) and I saw it for $29.95 in a music shop here in Melbourne!

Editorial Reviews:

For 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 Emerson
