VA - Atlantic Rock & Roll (6CD, 2017)

It was six decades ago this past spring that Atlantic Records kicked off a little something called the Rock & Roll series, wherein the label would compile collections of hit singles from the greatest new artists of the day. To celebrate the fact that these compilations have hit the big 6-0, Rhino is paying tribute by reissuing the six classic albums in a box set, one featuring reproductions of the original artwork as well as a new booklet featuring liner notes.
