  • Description

    Bear Family Records honours that most important timespan in all our lives by collecting two volumes of songs about high school, starting with 'School House Rock, Vol 1 - School Is In!'. And what a fine collection it is - surpassing the obvious shooba-dooba of mentally-sentimentally deranged harmony groups, snarly-lipped teenage wonderboys, and other '50s cliches. Don Willis's deranged echo dripping garage rockabilly romp Boppin' High School Baby rocks side by side with the big city R & B jump of Frankie Lymon's Waiting in School (Look out Ricky!); John D. Loudermilk's reflection on the most important school document - the Yearbook - eases through a spheric sci-fi chorus and makes John Waters rush off to write a new movie script about teenagers from outer space, while The Winstons are living proof that music class is a valid alternative to football - learn to play saxophone in no time!

    Classics like Frankie Avalon's Teacher's Pet stand alongside obscure rockabilly swingers like High School Lover, blending Jerry Lee and Big Bopper mannerisms and icing them with a mean guitar solo!

    Don't miss out on all the fun - buy the CD and feel young. Reminisce and do it all over again. Life is but a school, and there ain't no golden rule.
