1	La Bamba [Original Soundtrack] (1987) more music like this by Original Soundtrack After two critically acclaimed but only moderately selling albums, los Lobos were hired to record songs for the film biography of Hispanic '50s rocker Ritchie Valens, resulting in this soundtrack album, which, in addition to eight los Lobos recordings, features tracks by Marshall Crenshaw, Brian Setzer, and others. Los Lobos' remake of the title ... see all copies from $2.99! new only from $11.11!
2	Just Another Band from East L.A.: A Collection (1993) more music like this by Los Lobos By the time Los Lobos made their debut on record, they already had a half-decade of live gigs under their belt. That initial independent release, Del Este de Los Angeles, went largely unrecognized, however, and it wasn't until a half-decade later that the music business took notice. With the arrival of ...And a Time to Dance, they began to realize ... see all copies from $4.12! new only from $19.39!
3	Wolf Tracks: The Best of Los Lobos (2006) more music like this by Los Lobos Ten years after their breakthrough 1983 EP And a Time to Dance, Los Lobos released their first retrospective, the double-disc Just Another Band from East L.A. Seven years after that, the career-spanning four-disc box El Cancionero: Mas y Mas appeared, so there hasn't been a shortage of comprehensive Los Lobos collections. What has been missing is ... see all copies from $10.77! new only from $10.77!
4	Rockabilly Riot [Sanctuary] (2003) more music like this by Various Artists Rockabilly Riot is a 22-track collection of some very hot sides recorded (with one glaring exception) in the exciting mid-'50s heyday of rockabilly. Most of the disc is made up of Sun artists (biggies like Elvis, Carl Perkins, Roy Orbison, Jerry Lee Lewis, and small fries like Warren Smith and Billy Riley), but the disc also gathers up a wide ... see all copies from $10.64! new only from $10.64!
5	Hang on Sloopy: The Best of the McCoys (1995) more music like this by The McCoys Hang on Sloopy: The Best of the McCoys is a 22-track compilation of the group's best mid-'60s material, including all the hits and tracks from their two Bang LPs, non-album singles, and a couple of previously unissued cuts. Much of this is rather forgettable if inoffensive, other than "Hang on Sloopy," "Fever," "Sorrow," and "Don't Worry Mother." ... see all copies from $5.33! new only from $5.33!
6	Come On, Let's Go (1998) more music like this by Ritchie Valens Considering Valens died about seven months after his first recording session, it's amazing that enough material exists to piece together a three-CD, 62-song box set. It's also amazing that, despite a fair amount of inevitable filler, it's truly a worthwhile collection, recommended to anyone with a deep interest in '50s rock. Besides everything ... see all copies from $30.00!
7	Ritchie Valens (1959) more music like this by Ritchie Valens Ritchie Valens was only 17 when he died in 1959 in the same plane crash that claimed the lives of Buddy Holly and the Big Bopper, and he had only been working in a recording studio for about seven months when the tragedy occurred; thus, his musical legacy rests on about an album and a half of completed studio material, a poorly recorded high ... see all copies from $9.29! new only from $9.29!
8	The Ritchie Valens Story (1993) more music like this by Ritchie Valens Although The Ritchie Valens Story contains four of Valens' hits ("La Bamba," "Donna," "Come On, Let's Go," "That's My Little Suzie") some famous tracks, like "Ooh! My Head," are not here. The bulk of the disc consists of seven demos that were previously unavailable in America and a 21-minute narration by Valens' producer Bob Keane, who also ... see all copies from $8.49! new only from $11.11!
9	Chart Toppers: Rock Hits of the 50s (1998) more music like this by Various Artists Priority's Chart Toppers series is an excellent budget-line collection, offering a strong selection of 15 original hits, grouped by a specific theme and decade, on each disc. Chart Toppers: Rock Hits of the 50's combines rock & roll, doo wop, rockabilly and R&B hits -- an eclectic bunch, to say the least, but the variety helps capture the feeling ... see all copies from $11.12! new only from $11.13!
10	La Bamba '87 (1987) more music like this by Ritchie Valens see all copies from $8.00! new only from $15.00!
11	In Concert at Pacoima Jr. High (1960) more music like this by Ritchie Valens With only two brief albums and some demos and rehearsal tapes to draw from, the legacy of the late Ritchie Valens rests on an extremely small canon. Bob Keene managed to release two fairly decent Valens LPs on Keene's Del-Fi label, but this third LP, In Concert at Pacoima Jr. High, was literally the bottom of a very shallow barrel material-wise, ... see all copies from $11.02!
12	The Best of Ritchie Valens [Rhino] (1986) more music like this by Ritchie Valens The virtually complete recording legacy of an all-too-brief career. Bruce Eder, All Music Guide see all copies from $19.99!
13	Rock This Town: Rockabilly Hits, Vol. 1 (1991) more music like this by Various Artists Rock This Town: Rockabilly Hits, Vol. 1 is a stellar, 18-track collection that contains such classic rockabilly singles as Johnny Burnette's "The Train Kept a-Rollin," Bill Haley's "Rock the Joint," Roy Orbison's "Ooby Dooby," Carl Perkins' "Blue Suede Shoes," Billy Riley's "Red Hot," Dale Hawkins' "Susie-Q," Buddy Knox's "Party Doll," Gene ... see all copies from $16.88!
14 view cover	Hard Rock Cafe: Great Balls of Fire (1999) more music like this by Various Artists Rhino's Hard Rock Cafe series essentially just offers basic primers of classic rock genres, from surf rock to New Wave. That means they're not of particular interest to collectors, but they are ideal for casual fans, since they contain a good sampling of a particular genre -- in the case of Hard Rock Cafe: Great Balls of Fire, it's early rock & ... see all copies from $15.65! new only from $15.65!
15 view cover	Lost Gems of the 50's, Vol. 1 (1999) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!

18 view cover	Golden Oldies, Vol. 14 [Original Sound] (1989) more music like this by Various Artists Original Sounds' Golden Oldies series presents great hits from the '50s and '60s as performed by the original artists. Though the discs are extremely brief at only ten songs and are randomly sequenced, they are exciting reminders of just how good music could be during that "golden" era. Highlights of Vol. 14 include the Box Tops' "The Letter," the ... see all copies from $2.37! new only from $5.32!
19 view cover	More Original Jukebox Hits (1998) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $15.74! new only from $15.74!
20 view cover	El Cancionero: Mas y Mas (2000) more music like this by Los Lobos A multi-disc, authoritative box set usually arrives toward the end of an artist's career, which is what made the appearance of Los Lobos' four-disc retrospective El Cancionero: Mas y Mas in 2000 a little surprising. They weren't selling as many records, nor were they quite as hip as they were ten years earlier, yet they retained a devoted cult and ... see all copies from $51.67! new only from $51.67!
21 view cover	Rock with the Caveman (2005) more music like this by Tommy Steele see all copies from $19.99! new only from $19.99!
22 view cover	La Bamba and Other Hits (2004) more music like this by Ritchie Valens Ritchie Valens was only 17 when he died in 1959. His musical legacy rests on about an album and a half of completed studio material, a poorly recorded high-school concert, and a handful of demos and rehearsal tapes, all of which actually makes this extremely brief ten-song set a decent purchase, since the longer compilations are forced to include ... see all copies from $5.22! new only from $5.22!
23 view cover	The Return of the Del-Fi & Donna Story (1994) more music like this by Various Artists The second installment in telling the story of Bob Keane's two California-based rock & roll labels of the '50s and early '60s delves much further into the vaults and comes up with many unreleased masters, as well bringing to compact disc several previously neglected gems deserving of reissue. The 32 tracks on this single-disc compilation kicks off ... see all copies from $14.00! new only from $14.00!
24 view cover	Baby That Is Rock 'n' Roll (1999) more music like this by Various Artists This sampler for some of the artists Ace Records has reissued as part of its back catalog is full of roaring, raging, and nearly out-of-control early rock & roll classics from the late '50s, including Bobby Day's "Rockin' Robin," Larry Williams' "Dizzy Miss Lizzy," Big Al Downing's mad and loony "Down on the Farm," Don & Dewey's combustible ... see all copies from $11.71! new only from $11.71!
25 view cover	Oldies But Goodies, Vol. 4 & 5 (2000) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $16.45! new only from $16.45!
