Hello Group,

Yesterday, I stumbled across a Time Life Rock N Roll
Era title that I've never seen before called "The
Great Rock N Roll Instrumentals" at a store in
Manhattan so I picked it up. The CD is not listed in
the database nor could I find a copy for sale on Ebay
or listed in Discogs.

I shared my findings with Ron who too said he also had
never seen it before. He noticed that all the tracks
are included on Rhino's Rock Instrumental Classics
series Vols. 1-5 (all 1994). The Disc is mastered by
Dennis Drake. It is also the 51st title in the
Rock N Roll Era Collection (4RNR-51) which I never
received with my subscription.

Anyhow, I think this disc should be added to the
database.

Ron actually found it listed one place online for
those interested in the track listing.

Wow. Interesting find. Most if not all of the tracks
are duplicated on earlier volumes of the Rock N Roll Era
series. I never understood why Time-Life handled their
catalog this way--the worst offender being the Sounds of
the Seventies series.
