The Golden Age Of American Popular Music, Volume 2: Hard-To-Get Hot 100 Hits From 1956-1965

Tracks of particular note among the wide-ranging selection include Go Away Little Girl by Steve Lawrence, a track that defines 60s pop. This #1 hit has only been available via mail order, but appears here for its first major CD appearance. Pop music mainstay Bobby Vinton scored many hits during the 60s, but I Love You The Way You Are on Diamond Records has never been issued on legit CD and appears here transferred from the original UK tape. Bob Crewe, most noted for his work for the 4 Seasons, charted as an artist in 1960 with The Whiffenpoof Song. Here is its first outing on CD in a new stereo mix from the original Warwick multi-track analogue tape.

Other appetizing musical morsels include Apple Green by June Valli, Beach Time by Roger Smith, Shake Me, I Rattle by Marion Worth and Wishin On A Rainbow by Phill Wilson, all first time CD exclusives on this compilation. Aces eclectic selection includes many other cherished hits including 18 Yellow Roses by Bobby Darin, Ginny Come Lately by Brian Hyland, My Summer Love by Ruby & The Romantics, Come Back Silly Girl by The Lettermen and Paradise by Sammy Turner.

As always, we have tried to find the best sounding sources on all of these all mastered impeccably to offer second-to-none sound quality.
