Bear Family Records Atomic Platters 5CD 1DVD Deluxe Box Set

Explore a unique piece of history with the Atomic Platters Deluxe Box Set from Bear Family Records. This massive collection captures the sound of the Cold War era, featuring over 100 songs that address the atomic bomb and the Red Scare. From rock and roll legends like Bill Haley and His Comets to country stars like Marty Robbins and Wanda Jackson, this set provides a deep look into how pop culture reacted to the anxieties of the time. Beyond the music, this set is a treasure trove of historical oddities. It includes more than two dozen Public Service Announcements voiced by famous figures such as Groucho Marx and Bob Hope. You will also find two full-length spoken word civil defense LPs, 'If The Bomb Falls' and 'The Complacent Americans,' which offer a fascinating look at mid-century scare tactics. A DVD included in the set features nine bizarre civil defense and anti-communism films from the 1950s and 60s. Complemented by a massive 292-page hardcover book, this collection serves as an essential document for collectors of music history and social studies.
