To describe this album as a soundtrack is something of a misnomer, since it was not for sale at the time the film was originally released, in 1959. Copies were produced for the benefit of radio and promotion people, but no commercial copies were ever made available to the general public, even when the film was enjoying its initial round of popularity. Nevertheless, here you have it on a super-friendly priced CD! Featured artists include Chuck Berry, Jimmy Clanton, Ritchie Valens, Eddie Cochran, The Cadillacs, The Flamingos, a.m.o.
