"Second time round - the rock 'n' roll sound! And what a comeback it's making! ROCK REVIVAL brings back that electrifying beat - the sounds that grabbed the pop-world of the 50s & 60s. 84 'top of the rocks' - an exceptional offer which really gets you off the ground"

Tracks for this collection were entirely sourced from the Philips catalogue. Co-incidently, the collection has a message "with thanks to Terry Waghorne, Brian Chambers and Fred Dellar for their research". Terry was a friend of mine who I knew from my days at HMV when he supplied imports to the chain, but had no idea he had worked on this project for RD.

MUSIC WEEK NOVEMBER 2. 1974

Readers Digest issues
Rock Revival package
CASHING IN on the current vogue for pop music from the Fifties and Sixties, Reader's Digest has issued a boxed, six-album package entitled Rock Revival. At present only available by direct mail from the company, it contains 84 tracks of predominantly American material originating from the Phonogram, Mercury and Chess labels. Artists featured include Chuck Berry, Jerry Lee Lewis, Fats Domino, The Platters, Bo Diddley, Marty Wilde and Ray Stevens.
Promotional efforts for the collection, which sells at £9.95 are being concentrated in national press advertising, but Reader's Digest will probably include it in its Christmas catalogue as well.
Rock Revival was conceived early this year when Reader's Digest, which has regular contacts with major record companies such as Phonogram, heard that the old rock material was available. Most of the tracks in the package have been issued in Britain on individual, various artists albums such as Do You Wanna Dance? and The Rock 'N' Soul Story.
Reader's Digest has high hopes for the success of Rock Revival, which is being pressed by Phonogram. The giant publishing/merchandising outfit usually carries out exhaustive market research before issuing any multi-album sets, but felt that a collection of old rock material was so assured of heavy sales that it dispensed with this on this preliminary set.
The collection also takes the company further away from the kind of light classical repertoire that has characterised many of its previous forays in the record business. The single artist concept, exemplified recently by its Herb Alpert compilation, remains popular, however, and similar offerings by Andy Williams and the New Seekers are planned for next year.
Another Reader's Digest project for 1975 is an eight-album collection (14 tracks per record) of pop hits from the Fifties right through to 1973 (Popular Music’s Golden Hit Parade). All the major UK record labels except EMI will be contributing material.
