After the dark years of World War Two, there still existed a notion of Africa as a land of mystery, a lost twilight world that was wild and untamed - Rock ‘n’ Roll became fascinated with the Dark Continent -Tarzan movies becoming particularly prevalent during the 1950's and dangerous, pounding rhythms, Ape Calls and a menagerie of wild beasts proved to be an ideal theme for a Rock n Roll song!Just some of the 1950s gems included on the 24 track compilation are ‘Birth Of The Boogie’ – Bill Haley, ‘Ubangi Stomp’ - JerryLee Lewis, ‘Monkey Song (You Made A Money Out Of Me)’ - The Big Bopper & ‘Jungle’ Bo Diddley
