AllMusic Review by

Columbia River's Malt Shop Classics collects ten songs from '50s stars like Chuck Berry, Duane Eddy and Jerry Lee Lewis. However, all of these tracks appear as inferior re-recordings or live versions (Gene Vincent's "Be Bop A Lula" sounds particularly neutered). Little Richard's "Long Tall Sally" and Eddy's "Peter Gunn Theme" don't sound too bad, but this collection is so small and has such a poor ratio of original songs to re-recorded versions that it can't be recommended.
