The "WHITE BOPPIN' TOWER" is a unique and collectable compilation that was released on the day of the first and now-legendary festival "White Boppin' Tower – 1st Rock'n'Roll Weekender" which held in Thessaloniki, Greece in mid November 2004!
Including bands such as THE BLACK RAVEN from Germany, one of the finest and most acclaimed bands of the rock'n'roll scene internationally, featuring "Red Light", a tune amongst the favourite of the rockabilly DJs around Europe and written exclusively for this compilation after the tour in Japan. THE SPOOTNIKS and THE BARBULATORS from Russia,with a sound and appearance straight out of the 50's, the Greek rockabillies THE BULLETS' "Getting On" a hot tune with Mary on vocals (hats off to the Greek Wanda Jackson!) and THE ROCKETS an awesome combo from Athens offer "Rockin' Dream", one of the essential tracks of the compilation and best loved of the Greek audience as well as the surfing OVERTONES with a mysterious spy/surf sound and more...
A mighty album, housed in a real cool artwork cover of the venue which took place the festival, that'll surely keep your memories alive until..."White Boppin' Tower II"
