CD LONDON AMERICAN LABEL '58

Popis - LONDON AMERICAN LABEL '58:
Our London American TARDIS now winds the clock back to 1958 - a vintage year for all forms of popular music, and one in which many Hall Of Fame classics made their worldwide debut. If you lived in the UK, the vast majority of those classics would have found their way into your collection via the London label, the first port of call for all rocknroll fans with seven shillings and six pence in their pockets and an urge to exchange it for vinyl. As with our previous best-selling volumes, a mix of the labels biggest hits and best 45s are assembled here to give an overview of the wealth of musical riches that London offered for sale that year. Given how many singles that were released on London are already available on Ace CDs, you might think it would be a tough task to find another couple of examples of the labels catalogue to represent this golden year. But nothing is beyond our compilers and, of the 28 tracks featured, only one is currently available elsewhere in this form, on an Ace CD (its also worth noting that more than a dozen of the tracks have never been legitimately reissued on CD). We've also taken the opportunity to correct a couple of audio errors that have crept into earlier Ace CDs, and have been able to use the original London 45 tapes on more than 20 of the 28 tracks. As always, the audio delight is accompanied by a jam-packed booklet featuring a label shot of every featured 45or 78 and annotation and assorted ephemera.
