The Fifties revival of the 1970s. I remember it well — American Graffiti, Happy Days, Laverne and Shirley, Wolfman Jack on The Midnight Special, the Sha Na Na TV show. I'm still looking for the triple-LP set At the Hop!, pictured above, which was sold on TV in the early '70s which helped fuel my interest in '50s music.
