Rock'n'Roll begins here. This set includes everything that Bill Haley recorded for Decca between 1954 and 1960, and again in 1964. All the hits, all the misses, all the album tracks, even two previously unissued demos from 1958. There's also a complete CD of out-takes.
A total of 132 tracks including all the original Decca singles, all the LP tracks, and, of course, 'Rock Around The Clock'.
