Product Description
CD Description
Attractively packaged 2-CD set comprising 50 original recordings. Boasts many sought-after tracks and hard-to-find cuts. Includes over 4o chart hits. Featured artists include: Duane Eddy, Bill Doggett, Johnny & The Hurricanes, Sandy Nelson, Bill Justis, Lee Allen and many more. Just as Doo Wop and the Girl Group sound made an important contribution to the story of Rock n Roll, so too did the Pop Instrumental, bringing with it a new dimension and diversity to the charts. From the mid-1950s until the British Invasion, arguably Instrumentals were to spawn more one-hit wonders than any other genre, largely because so many were recorded by faceless session players, not bone fide Pop artistes. Often used by radio programmers as a convenient means by which to segue seamlessly into the news, some anonymous instro might become part of a station s playlist if enough listeners enquired after it and many did... in droves. Dyed-in-the-wool Jazzers, seasoned Bluesmen, Country gentlemen and proto-Punks peppered the US Pop and R&B charts with numbers both perky and menacing, their sax-honkin , piano-plinkin , bongo-stompin , Fender-twangin , finger-clickin sounds leaving an indelible print on Pop music.

A highly enjoyable mix of excellent Guitar Drums and Organ from a lost era after 50's swing and 70's pop music, these instro jems are a good way to escape back to the late fifties early sixties, a fine collection of familiar Tunes, that we may have heard but could never remember either the artists names or the track titles!
