Geoff plays Rock 'n' Roll classics that were never hits, they were "fabulous flops"!

This week Geoff has another fascinating theme hour, playing a stack of Rock 鈥榥鈥� Roll classics but amazingly, they were never hits 鈥� all were 鈥渇abulous flops鈥�! Including tracks from Buddy Holly, Jerry Lee Lewis, Rick Nelson, Gene Vincent and one of the most famous and recorded rock 鈥榥鈥� roll songs of all time but never a UK hit from Chuck Berry.
