Rockin' the Joint (Bill Haley &amp; His Comets album)Rockin' the Joint (Bill Haley &amp; His Comets album) Rockin' the Joint (Bill Haley & His Comets album) Rockin' the Joint is a compilation album of rock and roll music by Bill Haley & His Comets. Released on Decca Records in August 1958, it was the group's seventh album. The album consisted of recordings that, for the most part, had only been released previously as singles or on EPs; all of the recordings were produced by Milt Gabler. The title comes from the album's lead track, a 1957 re-recording of Haley's 1952 hit, "Rock the Joint", which was labelled "New Rock the Joint" on this release. Also  included for the first time on album were the hits "See You Later Alligator", "Rip it Up", and "The Saints Rock and Roll". One track, "The Beak Speaks", was an instrumental featuring guitarist Franny Beecher, while "Rock Lomond" (based on the Scottish air "Loch Lomond") was a leftover from the recording sessions for the band's previous album, "Rockin' the Oldies" and is the only track on the album that had not previously been released. The only track copied from a previous Haley album is "Burn That Candle", which was also included on the "Rock Around the Clock" compilation. Rockin
