Vintage Photos Capture Teenage Record Parties in the 1950s and 1960s

Before the 1950s, teenagers listened to the music of their parents, but when rock and roll came on the scene teens swarmed to it.

A collection of 14 vintage photos below show teenage record parties from between the 1950s and 1960s.
