About The Record:

Great Rock Revival, released in 1972 by Tampa Records (catalog no. C-2 10848), is a double vinyl LP compilation celebrating classic rock and roll hits primarily from the 1950s and early 1960s. This album, distributed by Columbia Special Products, features 30 tracks by various artists, including iconic names like The Everly Brothers, Chuck Berry, and Lloyd Price, capturing the nostalgic spirit of the rock revival movement during the early 1970s. Historically significant for its role in reintroducing vintage rock to a new generation, it reflects the era's growing interest in retro music amidst the rise of progressive and hard rock. Notable hit singles include Lloyd Price’s Personality and Stagger Lee, The Everly Brothers’ Bye, Bye Love and Wake Up, Little Susie, Chuck Berry’s Maybelline and Sweet Little Sixteen, and Del Shannon’s Runaway, all of which were major chart successes in their original releases. The compilation, with some tracks electronically remixed for stereo, remains a valuable snapshot of rock’s foundational era.
