Teen Beat, Volume 2: Another 30 Great Rockin' Instrumentals

Another 30 great rockin' instrumentals. Ranging from 1962's Soul Twist by R&B saxophonist King Curtis through to 1958's Rebel Rouser by the king of twang Duane Eddy, Teen Beat Volume 2 also takes in the light, swinging jazz of Vince Guaraldi's Cast Your Fate To The Wind and the drum beat of Sandy Nelson's Big Jump (from '62 and '59, respectively). Making a wider sweep through the record vaults than its predecessor, Volume 2 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.
