Various: Shopping For Clothes - The Soundtrack Of The Best Dressed Generation (CD)

1-CD (Digipak) with 36-page booklet, 37 tracks. Total playing time approx. 79 min.

The 1950s were more than just a decade of prosperity and chrome-covered automobiles. They marked the birth of a new youth culture defined by music, fashion and attitude. Blue jeans, leather jackets, poodle skirts, bobby socks and suede shoes became symbols of freedom, individuality and rebellion.

It is no surprise that fashion became a favorite topic in countless rock ’n’ roll, rockabilly and rhythm & blues songs. Clothes were no longer just something to wear – they became a statement. Artists sang about black slacks, blue jeans, leather jackets and flashy shoes, capturing the dreams and energy of an entire generation.

“Shopping For Clothes” gathers the finest songs inspired by the fashion world of the 1950s and paints a colorful portrait of everyday American youth culture.

• Unique concept album celebrating 1950s fashion and youth culture.

• Features classics by Carl Perkins, Gene Vincent, Eddie Cochran and The Coasters.

• Includes rare and entertaining songs about clothes, shoes and style.

• Documents the close connection between music and fashion.

• Essential listening for fans of rock ’n’ roll, rockabilly and vintage Americana.
