Get it, you will like it
If you grew up in the late 50's and 60's and really followed Rock and Roll, you will really like this album, it has many of the most popular songs from that era. I remember seeing the movie and really thinking they did a great job picking the songs to include in the soundtrack. I had a casette with about 25 of the songs on it but this CD is even better because it has almost all, if not all of the songs from the movie. The price is right too.American Graffiti
It is everything I'd hoped it would be. I have played at work and in 3 different vehicles. As Bob Seger said, I love that "Old Time Rock and Roll. That kind of music just thrills my soul.excellent sound quality
Top notch sound quality - an enjoyable selection of songs - some better than others.back to my 20's
Fun listening to the old songs an doing the jitterbug once again, just not as long but we keep on trying.

I got this for 50 cents at a thrift store. It was definitely worth it. And that's coming from a young teenagerAmazon.com
For those of us who grew up in the '70s, this drive-in compilation of '50s and '60s rock and doo-wop, complete with Wolfman Jack introductions, was our introduction to this music. There are 41 jukebox hits here, and every one of them is a classic of its time (although two tracks--"At the Hop" and "She's so Fine" are covers by the revival band Flash Cadillac & the Continental Kids). In his 1973 movie, director George Lucas used the music (and the presence of mysterious deejay Wolfman) as the AM-radio soundtrack to one night in suburban California, 1962. The idea was to capture and sustain an end-of-summer, end-of-innocence mood that's in the air throughout the picture-- not as a shortcut to establishing a period (as in Robert Zemeckis'Forrest Gump). There's an awful lot of spontaneous energy in these tunes--from Chuck Berry and Buddy Holly, to the Platters and the Clovers and the Del-Vikings, to the Crests and the Beach Boys--and also just a hint of melancholy that goes down very nicely with a burger, shake, and fries. --Jim Emerson
