While most early '60s pop music sought to tone down the rough edges that had made rock & roll such a fear-inspiring beast to '50s Middle America, Gary "U.S." Bonds's party-down music helped keep the flame alive until the British Invasion bands started a new bonfire. While crudely produced (by Legrand Records owner Frank Guida), Bonds's records had a sound all their own, and the pounding, overmiced drums and heavily echoed vocals influenced everyone from Phil Spector to Bruce Springsteen. Highlights here include Bonds' raucous debut, 1960's "New Orleans," the irrepressible "School is Out" ("at last/And I'm so glad I passed"), and, of course, the eternal "Quarter to Three." --Billy Altman
