Lots more goodies, 20 of 'em. All 60s sans one 50s track. My favs? The first track - Janice Peters' "This Little Girl's Gone Rockin'," Pat Harris & The Blackjacks' "Hippy, Hippy Shake" is another, and my favorite rendition. Also, Marie Applebee's "Down by the Sea (End of Summer)" is another goodie. They're all good. Enjoy!
When I first heard "Zoom" by The Starlighters years ago, I thought it was one of the most hard-rockin' doo-wop tunes ever released. Could there be more out there? Let's see...
20 tracks in all. From 1954 to '64. Favs include The Five Crowns' "Popcorn Willie" and The Champions' "The Same Old Story." Other goodies with The Searchers' "Ooo-Wee," The Jesters' "Sally Green," and The Peacheroos' "Be Bop Baby." They're all good. Enjoy!
Note: I really wanted to add Zoom, but cannot find a good file online with a clean rip. The one I have is 167kbps (an old, ripped from some long-gone program), but the source is rough. You can still hear the track on youtube here -> "Zoom" by The Starlighters (btw, I still think Zoom is the heaviest doo-wop track).
And here we are, ten volumes later... 20 rare ditties from '56 to '65. My favs are Jane Baker's "Boom-De-De-Boom," Little Jerry Williams' "Let's Do the Wobble," and Lillian Vines' "I Dreamed About My Baby Last Night." imo, all these tracks (not the artists) are rare. I know I've heard "Dangerous Lips" before, but not by The Drivers (their version on this set). Enjoy!
Part two! 18 awesome & rockin' oldies from 1954 to '67. Several favs including Willie Egan's brilliant "I Don't Know Where She Went," the Deep River Boys' "Rock-a-Beatin' Boogie," and Leon Peels' "Cottonhead Joe." Plenty of jump-blues (including Wynonie Harris, my favorite artist of the genre), rock & roll, and rhythm & blues. Enjoy!
Back to the smoky, sexy, groovin' library of lounge. Otto Sieben's "Soft Popsound" is probably my favorite in the mix. Rovi's (aka Piero Umiliani) "Atmosphere" is another goodie. And another in Alan Moorhouse's "Heavy Bopper." As usual, they're all good. 16 tracks from '68 to '87. Enjoy!
Another volume of popcorn for all you fanatics. Favorites? I'll go with Jo Ann Campbell's "A Kookie Little Paradise," The Drew-Vels' "It's My Time" (probably my #1 on this mix), and Dolly Lyon's "Palm of Your Hand." They're all good. Enjoy!
