When you buy a 32 track CD compilation and see that some of the performing artists include Rick Nelson, Del Shannon, Johnny Burnette, Dion, Conway Twitty, Skeeter Davis, Jackie Wilson and Teresa Brewer, you have every reason to expect to hear top quality music which may very well be familiar to you. When you then establish that the CD contains songs written by the likes of Goffin and King, Mann and Weil ( in both cases, three songs each), Leiber and Stoller, Howie Greenfield, David Gates, Jack Keller, Bert Burns and Willy Nelson, your high expectations are sure to be enhanced.
Yet, even for the well-informed music lover, there will be hardly a track here that will be familiar to you. The reason is that this collection contains recordings which for some reason or another, never cracked The Billboard Top 100, but were consigned for ever to the "Bubbling Under" category - that shadowy musical world where a lot of good music was to be found hovering in positions 101 to 140. In truth, there are hardly any really memorable tracks here, which may go some way to explain why none of these became hits. Conversely there are virtually no clinkers here either, so there is nothing which you will instinctively want to skip over after the first hearing.
Some of the stand-out tracks come from unlikely sources - Bernadette Castro (who?), Four Seasons sound-alikes The Four-Evers, Johnny Nash and a tear drenched ballad from Timi Yuro. And there is even "Drums" - an interesting 1961 track by Kenny Chandler, which two years later was recorded in the UK with a much better interpretation by Michael Holliday, in his very last recording session, just a week before he committed suicide.
If you are looking for a collection of well-known familiar hits of the time, this CD is definitely not for you. But for the student of pop music of the time, who likes peeling away several layers of the historical onion to see what's beneath, this is a fascinating collection of generally high-quality material, enhanced - crucially - by a track-by-track biographical perspective. Therefore, this CD is highly recommended and as it's entitled "Bubbling Under, Volume 1", there is the tantalizing prospect of more to come. Can't wait !!!

What a great cd this is. Great value for money, great songs, great sound quality and a great booklet to match. There are some hidden gems on here waiting to be discovered. Songs by Curtis Lee, the murmaids, Skeeter Davis, the Elektras, and my two favourites would be 'The five Satins' version of 'The masquerade is over' and the brilliant opening track by Ricky Nelson 'There's not a minute'. A fantastic cd overall.

Not for the first time-Ace was there first-a CD of mainly musical failure or in the case of the earlier hitmakers a failure to attract enough buyers.Yet any of these songs could have charted higher given the airplay
A standout here is the song by the born privileged and wonderfully named Bernadette Castro today working in local Government as the one in charge of New York's Parks & Gardens.
As a Pixie Girl she was as good as Leslie Gore but only cut 3 singles
