Historical background

Shakin' Stevens became one of Europe's most successful solo artists in the early 1980s. His music, heavily influenced by 1950s rock 'n' roll, captured the spirit of the times and captivated a wide audience. The release of this compilation on AMIGA was a special event – ​​Western pop music was rarely officially available in East Germany. This pressing thus symbolizes the cultural curiosity and open-mindedness of many music lovers in East Germany.
