Incredibly, it’s been 18 years since the last volume in the much-loved instrumental series Teen Beat was issued. Volume 6 adheres to the proven winning mix of top-class classics, hits and rarities, with the odd surprise thrown in. Rock 'n' Roll instrumental classics don't come any greater than Duane Eddy’s Peter Gunn or Johnny & The Hurricanes’ Reveille Rock which get the album off to a flying start. Less well known are the Rondels’ riotous assault on Caldonia which rocks like there’s no tomorrow, The Busters’ thrilling All American Surfer and The Ramrods’ glorious Night Ride, a totally authentic wedge of surf - even though the band came from Alabama. When it comes to rarities, Teen Beat #6 holds two definite aces - Sandy Nelson’s Drum Shack and The Astronauts’ Big Hunk O’ Love. Other obscurities include The Invaders’ Disc Jockey, The Mus-Twangs rock-up of Frankie & Johnny, Don Cole’s exhilarating Free Flight and The Titans’ Noplace Special.
