"..... With the release of On Screen from Hydra Records of Germany, I finally have the original 'Rudy's Rock' - along with many other fascinating and previously unissued tracks. On Screen is a grab bag of songs collected from film and TV appearances Haley made between 1954 and 1958. And if there's a single reason for recommending this CD, it is for the presence of three live tracks recorded for an obscure 1954 short titled Round Up of Rhythm. The tracks: versions of 'Crazy Man Crazy', 'Straight Jacket!' and 'Shake, Rattle and Roll' feature Bill Haley and the Comets at their prime, nearly a year before 'Rock Around the Clock' opened the rock'n'roll floodgates. The first thing one notices is the lack of a regular lead guitar player. At this time, Franny Beecher was not yet a full-time Comet, and Danny Cedrone - who rarely if ever performed with Haley anyway - had died soon after the Decca recording session that produced 'Shake, Rattle and Roll'....."
