UK collection. Themes of crime and punishment have always featured strongly in music. This set is an hour long, not so much celebration but as documentation of heroes, villains, cops and robbers and their role in Rock 'n' Roll. Inebriation, incarceration, stick-ups, showdowns, 'failure to support' and all manner of other non-law abiding activities are on Ace's rockin' docket, although we plead not guilty to charges of crimes against music that this compilation may or may not elicit. Ace.
