A Rockin' Good Read...Or Not? - Part 3


Hell Yeah! This finally is a rockin' good read. 'Rock Revival'(5 issues) is for the fan of Revival Rock aka Teddyboy Rock'n'Roll aka British Rockabilly what 'Now Dig This', 'Rockin' 50s' and who knows what other magazines are for the fan and collector of 50s Rock'n'Roll. Okay, the quality is not the best(it is photocopied), the layout isn't fancy, it is hard to get(each issue had a rather limited edition and was published years ago) and most of it is in German but still. This is a must have for every serious fan and collector of Teddyboy bands. Publisher Ernie, who also runs Hot Wax Records (Chevrolet, Bonneville, Black Cat, Town Rebels etc.) must have an incredible collection of old promo-photos, newspaper articles and records. Let alone the promo and live pictures of the legendary Ted-bands are worth tracking down this ace zine, but the best thing are imo the extensive discographies. Of course it can be frustrating to see how many records one is till missing and sometimes didn't even know existed, but it's also good to know that they are out there. I seriously recommend 'Rock Revival' to every Rocker, Ted and Greaser! And everyone else of course with a serious interest in this great music.
