Teen Beat, Volume 2: Another 30 Great Rockin' Instrumentals
Another 30 great rockin' instrumentals. Ranging from 1962's <i>Soul Twist</i> by R&B saxophonist King Curtis through to 1958's <i>Rebel Rouser</i> by the king of twang Duane Eddy, <b>Teen Beat Volume 2</b> also takes in the light, swinging jazz of Vince Guaraldi's <i>Cast Your Fate To The Wind</i> and the drum beat of Sandy Nelson's <i>Big Jump</i> (from '62 and '59, respectively). Making a wider sweep through the record vaults than its predecessor, <b>Volume 2</b> contains not only instrumental hits but also the kind of ''quirky'' goodies that only really thrived under the ''one-off'' immediacy of the 45 rpm single regime. Compiled by John Broven and Trevor Churchill, with a ''scene-setting'' note from Roger Cope.
