VA - Slap That Bass! The Story Of Finnish Rockabilly & 50s Style Rock n Roll (4CD) (2010)

Slap That Bass! is a 4cd box set that is full of the finest finnish rockabilly and 50′s style rock’n'roll. It was compiled by Mikko Aaltonen and released by Johanna Kustannus on 17th of february. I know this might not totally fall into that “finnish pop” category, but it’s an important release nevertheless. Actually it’s worthy of those onechord’s imaginary culture awards and even though I’m not a huge rockabilly fan, Slap That Bass!
