Top Hits of 1956 contains 20 tracks from traditional pop artists who were big prior to the coming rock & roll outbreak. This collection includes only one certified rock & roll song ("Blue Suede Shoes" by Carl Perkins); the remainder includes Tennessee Ernie Ford, Eddie Fisher, Johnnie Ray, and the Kay Starr hit "Rock and Roll Waltz," which was anything but. It's not a definitive overview of pop hits of the era, but it's still a nice sampler of original hits, not re-recordings, from 1956. ~ Al Campbell

Not in stereo! The tunes are fine; they bring back memories. But, as is the case with so many of your CD's, they are mono recordings; not stereo as advertised. Submitted by Wayne (Houston, Texas) Was This Review Helpful? YesNo
