<B>BILL HALEY & THE COMETS - THE VERY BEST OF</B><BR>로큰롤의 폭발은 ELVIS PRESLEY가 `HEARTBREAK HOTEL`을 열창하며 흔들었던 엉덩이로부터 터져 나온 것이었다는 분명한 사실이지만, 그 직전에 BILL HALEY가 `ROCK AROUND THE CLOCK`을 히트시키지 않았다면 그 음악은 로큰롤로 불리우지 않았을지도 모른다. `ONE,TWO,THREE,FOUR,FIVE O`CLOCK`으로 시작되는 우리에게도 친숙한 이 노래는 하루 24시간 로큰롤 파티를 즐기겠다는, 검약하고 절제하는 청교도 정신이 생활 규범이었던 당시 표준적인 미국 어른들에게는 청천벽력 같은 메시지의 노래이며 오늘날까지 록이 젊은이들의 음악일 수 밖에 없는 근본적인 이유가 된 기념비적 작품이다. SPECTRUM 레이블을 통해 발매된 이 베스트 앨범은 저렴한 가격에도 불구, 무려 28곡에 달하는 BILL HALEY 와 그의 백밴드 COMETS 의 초창기 로큰롤 앤썸들을 수록, 최상의 가격대 성능비를 만족시키는 강력추천작. .... ....
