· 50,000,000 Rock On customers can’t be wrong!
The three Rock On retail outlets in London each had a distinctive clientele and sold a wider selection of records than any other record stores
between them.
· Hundreds of thousands of people came through the doors of the stalls and the shop and left with fond memories and great records.
· This CD covers most all of the styles of music sold at the Rock Ons and provides a trip down memory lane for the many regular customers.
· The only way to get the single version of Link Wray’s great ‘I’m So Glad, I’m So Proud’.
· In these days of downloads this compilation delivers a wide variety of musical styles, but unlike the download it also is informative.
· Through the doors of the various Rock Ons came Bob Dylan, Robert Plant, Elvis Costello, Joe Strummer, Paul Weller and a host of people who had barely even heard of themselves.
