Liner Note Author: Bruce Bernstein. Illustrator: Melinda Beck. Since the television series Happy Days was based, more or less, on the movie American Graffiti, which spawned an immensely successful soundtrack album made up of post-Elvis, pre-Beatles golden oldies, it only seems appropriate that Happy Days should have a similar collection. In fact, since it was a series, there should be a series of them. And now, thanks the Nickelodeon cable network, there are. This one contains 13 uptempo pop and rock songs of the late 1950s and early '60s; the lead-off track is even the same one that began the American Graffiti album, Bill Haley and His Comets' "Rock Around the Clock." Many of the greats of the '50s follow, including Buddy Holly, Jerry Lee Lewis, and Fats Domino. The album hangs together at least as well as the average evening set on your local oldies station, without the commercials or (unlike the American Graffiti soundtrack, come to think of it) the screaming deejay. ~ William Ruhlmann
