The Age of Atlantic is the second in a series of rock music samplers released by the Atlantic label in the UK. The compilation is credited to Janet Martin. Issued at a budget price of UK £0.99, ($US 2.00 approx in 2007), the album was for many an inexpensive introduction to new rock acts, and was one of the earliest samplers of "progressive" or "underground" music.
