CD LONDON AMERICAN LABEL YEAR BY YEAR 1957

Popis - LONDON AMERICAN LABEL YEAR BY YEAR 1957:
Our 1957 overview of the London-American label maintains the very high standards set by its predecessors. With more than 75% of the tracks being remastered from the original London tapes and all but one of them making their Ace CD debut, this CD is sure to satisfy even the most avid London completists. The focus is on RocknRoll and doo wop this time around. Many of the featured songs were first heard in the numerous RocknRoll films that made their silver screen debut that year. A dozen of our selections made the US Hot 100 while eight breached the UK Top 30 - two notable tallies, considering the ferocity of the competition that year. The featured artists read like a mini history of RocknRoll, from Berry to Cochran to Haley to Little Richard to Jerry Lee and beyond. Incredible to think that, in the UK, you could find all these artists on one label at the same time. With the usual comprehensive track-by-track annotation and labels shots of every single track plus period ads and ephemera this is guaranteed to be one of the strongest sellers in the series to date.
