About this album
Rock Around The Clock is a landmark rock ’n’ roll compilation that captures Bill Haley And His Comets at the moment when the genre broke into the mainstream. Built around the era’s defining singles, including (We’re Gonna) Rock Around The Clock and Shake, Rattle And Roll, it shows how Haley helped translate rhythm and blues energy into a hard-driving new pop language for the mid-1950s. First issued in 1955, the album became part of rock’s founding story, linking jukebox excitement, teenage rebellion and mass-market success. Its historical importance rests less on polish than on momentum: this is one of the recordings that made rock ’n’ roll impossible to ignore.
