About The Record:

At the Hop, by Various Artists, is a triple vinyl LP compilation that gathers a wide array of classic rock and roll, doo-wop, and teen pop tracks from the late 1950s and early 1960s, featuring performances by iconic acts such as Danny & The Juniors, Lesley Gore, The Angels, The Monotones, The Chiffons, The Silhouettes, The Tokens, The Drifters, Little Eva, The Beach Boys, Buddy Holly and The Crickets, and The Surfaris. A unique aspect is that certain selections include re-recorded versions in place of the original hit takes, notably for songs like Love Potion No. 9 by The Clovers and Charlie Brown by The Coasters, while the collection as a whole captures the energetic spirit of early rock era party anthems and dance hits. Historically it represents one of the budget-oriented multi-disc oldies packages common in the mid-1970s, often tied to MCA Special Markets distribution and aimed at nostalgia-driven listeners rediscovering pre-British Invasion sounds amid the ongoing 1950s revival. Fan-favorites and standout cuts include the title track At the Hop by Danny & The Juniors, It's My Party by Lesley Gore, My Boyfriend's Back by The Angels, Book of Love by The Monotones, He's So Fine by The Chiffons, Get a Job by The Silhouettes, The Lion Sleeps Tonight by The Tokens, The Loco-Motion by Little Eva, and Wipe Out by The Surfaris. No hit singles or album chart positions are associated with this release.
