Johnny Kay's Rockets: The Rite Mix
At the age of 14, I took up the guitar and by age 16 formed a band call "The Sensational Youngsters". We played in the tri-state area of Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Delaware where we would sneak in some of that new Rock & Roll sounds to the delight of teens and dismay of parents. In 1959, the band's manager changed the name to "Johnny Kay's Rockets" and opportunity came knocking. I got a call from a man claiming to be Bob Hayes, manager for Bill Haley. Hayes said Haley wanted to catch my group. I didn't think it would happen but it did on a Saturday evening. When Haley left after only two numbers I thought that was the end. However, it was only the beginning. In May of 1960 I auditioned and by the age of 20, I was playing guitar with Bill Haley & the Comets and traveling the world. Bill's recording of 'Rock Around The Clock" set in motion the ROCK & ROLL phenomenon that is still with us today.
For over a decade I traveled the planet having a ball playing the songs that started the 'Big Beat'. It's an experience that I will never forget. 'The Rite Mix' = Rock & Roll's original ingredients that was brewing when I started performing. This is the 'STUFF' That made up ROCK & ROLL... The Confection of sounds, that when mixed together, gives one the feeling of those good old rockin times, when Rock & Roll was new and just plain fun! I wrote all of the songs and each has it's own story to tell - from the time I was with Bill Haley's comets in the 1960s and 1970s to JK Rockets today. I Hope these songs will be as much fun to hear as they were to record. Then 'Rite Mix has a wide variety of styles, SO PLEASE ROCK...ROLL...DANCE...AND ENJOY! ... Johnny Kay.

WHAT YOU GET:
This item is for the original media, and includes only the media (ie. CD, floppy ...) UNLESS specifically stated above and/or in the title. If more than just the media is included, it will state which items are (ie. box, manual, etc ). Items that come in a sleeve refer to a generic CD sleeve (typically white) and will be sent with shipping protection to avoid damage during transit. If available, we will also send the front and/or back CD inserts if in stock. If these are important to you, please message us to verify we have them available to send. Please do not assume items are included other than what's stated. Again, ask questions PRIOR to purchasing if you have any concerns.
IMAGES:
All images/pictures are stock photos and are for reference only, mainly to show the type of game you will be getting. Please read "WHAT YOU GET" for what is included with the media. Screenshots may vary based on your own computer system, video card, monitor, etc.
COMPATIBILITY:
Computers are like people, each one is different. Unlike console games, a computer game may install and work flawlessly on one system but may need adjustments on another. This is due to a variety of factors, mainly the OS platform running, video card you have, drivers, protection software installed, etc. Many times manufacturers release updates to games to fix bugs and add enhancements. We would be happy to help get the game going on your computer, but ultimately compatibility issues are the responsibility of the buyer. We suggest going to Google and searching for the name of the game along with the words "system requirements" to determine if your system is suitable. Ultimately, we are not responsible for software compatibility problems or publisher's errors.
PLATFORM:
Stated within the auction is what platform the game will work on (ie. Windows, Mac, Linux...) This is a generic statement and specific platform versions (ie. XP, Vista...) will have to be researched by the buyer. Games that came out PRIOR to XP or higher will not specifically state they will work on that release, but only because they came out before those versions were made. Many, if not most, will work on XP or higher with a few quick adjustments. We provide instructions with all items purchased on how to do this adjustment using the Program Compatibility Wizard. If we find out that an item will definately not work on a specific version, we will state it. For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program if the Program Compatibility Wizard does not work.
64-Bit Windows OS Systems:
For 64-bit Operating Systems, older games most likely will NOT work due to 64-bit systems not being able to run 16-bit programming code (most games prior to 2000). For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program.
Macintosh Systems:
For Macintosh programs, most older games will need to be run in Classic Environment if you have a MAC OS X 10.0 - 10.4 version. Please research Google on how to do this, or send us a message for information prior to purchasing. If your MAC OS system doesn't support Classic Environment (ie. MAC OS X 10.5 or Higher OR Intel Macs), you will have to try running it using the free program called SheepShaver, but compatibility is not ensured. Please research prior to purchasing or ask questions.
MEDIA FORMAT:
Please verify you have the required hardware in order to use the specified media (ie. CD, DVD, floppy drives, etc.) If the item comes as a floppy disc, make sure you have either the needed 3.5" floppy drive or the bigger and older 5.25" floppy drive.
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR A SMOOTH PURCHASE:
Ask questions PRIOR to purchasing an order to avoid any confusion.
Be patient if there are problems during installation or gameplay. Typically someone else has
already ran into that problem and has listed a solution online. Contact us and we will do our best to help.
Be sure to update your video card drivers and search for updates to the game from the manufacturer.
