 Rating:  - fine and affordable retrospective of early '60s rockBillboard Top Rock & Roll Hits: 1962 is a budget priced CD that has a fine ten tracks of great rock and roll hits from 1962. I give high marks to the reviewer who notes that there may still be a second, older edition of this CD floating around out there. Be sure to check the track listings with your seller before buying this album--you want the version you want, not the other way around! Booker T. & The MG's begin the track set with their very, very famous tune called "Green Onions." ... Read More Rating: - 1962 one of the great years in rock Billboard has many great rock n roll hit compilations, but this is one of my favorites. Green Onions is a great instrumental hit, Duke of Earl is a timeless classic from doo wop, and Peppermint Twist Part 1 and the Locomotion were two of the most popular dances that year. All in their original versions! Rating:  - A good CD despite having only 10 songs - but BUYER BEWARE!In 1988/9 Rhino introduced its superb "Top Rock'n'Roll Hits" (1955-1974) series featuring 20 years of music on 20 CDs at 10 songs per year / per disc. (Hey, neat-o!) Then in 1993 Rhino reissued the discs in the subset spanning 1960-1969 thus creating two different versions of each in the process. Because these discs are available via Amazon Marketplace, who knows which ones you'll get if you buy them used! If this is important to you, be sure to ask the seller(s) before placing your ... Read More Rating: - Stingy, stringy, stingyOnce again, we have 10 measly songs, all good ones. They were hits in 1962; I remember them well; I was there. They touched me. If you care about the chronology of hit songs, the times they represent, buy this CD. I just don't know why they don't charge $2-$3 more and double the number of songs on the CD. I can name 10 more just like them from 1962 but I won't bore you further. Four stars this time for too few songs.
