Rock music arrived in Australia in 1955 with Bill Haley and the Comets immortal tune 'Rock Around the Clock' and the impact was enormous. Our teenagers loved it almost as much as their parents hated it. Somehow, most parents believed that this raucus sound would bring about the destruction of their children's moral fibres. This titles gives us the inside story on the great overseas acts that visited Australia in the heyday of rock 'n' roll - from Bill Haley and the Comets to the Beatles, as well as providing great insights on our home-grown talent.
