 Rating:  - The music came from America yet they havn't got these Ace setsSo far 9 Volumes and specials for Novelty,Country,Bubbling Under and even an extra called the Golden Age of Popular Music. All highlights the hits and misses and include in the booklet chart positions in both America and the UK of the songs.More failed in this country that's if they were even released.But that was all about to change once the Beatles era began. This review applies equally to everything-there's little point in providing info when its all been done in the booklets. But I did notice one glaring ommission on a later volume which included Gabriel & the Angels "That's life"-which has no info against it.This was a Swan recording from 1963 and its unlikely to be the real Angels who were on the charts over the period ...

Many of the artists I have never heard of but you can tell they all belong to the same era when all pop songs were about being a teenager and falling in and out of love.

This is the first of a series of nine collections by the admirable ACE team. Each one packed with 30 American hits from 1954 to 1963. Highlights on this album include 'Denise' by Randy and the Rainbows (later to become 'Denis' by Blondie), the definitive doo-wop of the Penguins ('Earth Angel'), the first example of phasing ('The Big Hurt'), early Spector productions ('Pretty Little Angel Eyes' and 'I Love How You Love Me') and gems like 'Sixteen Candles','Sally Go Round The Roses', 'Tossin' and Turnin''and 'Since I Don't Have You'. I could go on, but if you like American originals of songs ... Read More: |
