Along with Lindy Hop, Jive, Bunny Hop, Twist and other trendy dances, Bop ranks among dance favorites of fans of Rock & Roll and Rockabilly.

Mostly associated with the music of Gene Vincent & His Blue Caps in the 1950s, bop has been praised countless times and has become very popular.

Bear Family Records® delivers with this thoroughbred Rockabilly and Rock & Roll album in our 'Dancefloor' series the fitting 36-track soundtrack to a wild evening of bopping, stamped by the most popular bopper, Gene Vincent with Dance To The Bop, Bop Street or Bluejean Bop.

In addition to well-known titles such as Boppin' The Blues by Carl Perkins or Honey Bop by Wanda Jackson, we are pleased to present lesser-known tunes by Doug Amerson, King Victor and Leroy & His Continentals, among others.

Liner notes by Chicago's Boppin' Bill Dahl are part of the extensive illustrated companion book.

Bopping has been a beloved Bear Family Records® tradition for as long as the company has been in existence. So 'On The Dancefloor with a Bop!' is a natural for us: 36 hauling rockers perfect for doing The Bop or any other dance you're in the mood for! This one's strongly weighted towards rockabilly classics, with mainstays that include Gene Vincent, Carl Perkins, Wanda Jackson, Brenda Lee, Jack Earls, Eddie Bond, and Al Ferrier cutting loose with one savage rocker after another. Yet some of the set's incendiary highlights are supplied by total unknowns: Chicago rocker Billy Prager & His Caravans' one-off stunner Do It Bop, Doug Amerson's Bop, Man, Bop, Larry and His Rocking Montclair's' Crazy Bop, and Leroy & The Continentals'

Continental Bop fully belong in the same exalted company as their legendary discmates. Add blistering classics by Don Willis, Alvis Wayne, Mike Fern, Ronnie Pearson, Ray Scott, Vern Pullens, The Jodimars, Lew Williams, Alvadean Coker, and Ferlin Husky's zany alter ego Simon Crum, and you have a veritable non-stop bopping explosion!
