Product Description
CD Description
· The Lana Sisters made all girl commercial harmony pop singles for Fontana during the late 1950's.
· Formed by Ris Chantelle, they were joined in 1958 by Mary Isabel Catherine Bernadette O'Brien. Later the artist known as Dusty Springfield.
· They came closest to a hit with their version of Seven Little Girls, appeared on TV's `Drumbeat', and produced 7 singles in all. The NME in 1960 reviewed their Someone Loves You Joe as "a lively rocker that moves along at a fair old pace with guitars twanging all around. There's lots of echo and the girls put over the number with plenty of punch".
· This is a first time reissue for all of the singles and an early part of the Dusty Springfield story. The release falls into place in front of RPM's previous successful reissue of The Springfields (Retro D 820).
· As a bonus we have five singles by The Chantelles, the follow up Brit girl trio Ris Chantelle lead after Miss O'Briens departure. Their media launch was in the film `Dateline Diamonds' alongside Kiki Dee. As with the film they had a strong connection with Radio London and London My Home Town was a regularly played and fondly remembered theme song which came out of a Radio London jingle.
Product Description

With the purchase of Chantelly Lace, I've completed my Dusty Springfield collection.
I can't honestly say Dusty's voice is immediately apparent,but such is the nature of the group.
The sound on the Lana Sisters is surprisingly good.
I had expected the CD medium to highlight the "mellowness" of the 50's recordings, but there is a bit of sparkle to the overall sound.
To be honest, the Chantelles recordings do not spin my wheels, being just mid/late 60's forgettable stuff.
I got more, and less than I expected.

A disc of the Lana Sisters was long overdue and this fills the bill beautifully. As other reviewers have pointed out, the songs are not really memorable - but a good slice of that period's Britpop. Obviously, it's notable for being the group that Dusty Springfield first started with. Dedicated fans of Dusty will probably want this, although, to anyone else, I would have to say that it's only rarely on the disc that you can make out her distinctive voice.
Cherry Red have done a great job: the sound quality is outstanding for its period and the booklet is a model of how this sort of compilation should be presented. It has lots of information and photos, with facsimiles of record labels, etc.
I wasn't keen on the Chantelles tracks, but they are relevant - and it's better than having a short disc! Recommended to the curious!

Better than I expected especially Chantelles.I thought Lana tracks would be corny being 50s style but was much less so than anticipated.Excellent CD always playing it.

Terrible photo and oddball title
Cherry Red do a good job with their RPM imprint but this one falls far short.The booklet shows some proper dress photos so why show this spandexed horror?. Read more

Lana Sisters
The reason for buying this was the fact that Dusty Springfield was part of the Lana Sisters for a while. Nice vocals but some of the material is a let down.
