Product Description
CD Description
* The second volume in Ace's most talked about new series in some time carries you further into the 1960s with another fantastic selection of US and UK hits, flops and flips that all saw their first UK release on the famous silver and black logo of London-American.
* 1961's 28 tracks include 20 US Hot 100 hits, 14 of which also made the UK Top 50. Importantly - and for Ace's regular customers especially - only one of the 28 has ever been released on Ace CD previously.
* All of London's big hitmakers of the time are represented and all tracks are again presented in glorious mono - exactly as they were heard on the original 45s.
* Wherever possible, the original London tapes were transferred and digitised, to preserve maximum authenticity. More than 80% of the tracks you hear here are taken from those tapes.
* 2010 will also see the release of 1962 and 1959's contributions to this series.

This compilation is a great mix of some of 'Londons' hits from 1961.London were BIG and we always thought that they were exciting records coming from that Label. I bought some of these records as 45's and the cost was 50% of my Paper Round money. I still think they are good entertainment and very listenable.

The 1961 London American compilation from Ace Records is a great listen. A well assembled choice of tracks from the well known to the obscure, with some of those tracks you know so well, but haven't heard since they were first released. Generous sleeve notes and excellent reproduction make this a must, especially if you were into the music scene in the early 1960's.

I was a teenager in the late 50s/early 60s and we grew up with the London American label. When I saw this series of CDs they became a "must have" product, just the cover design has brought back so many memories. To all those boomers out there, start collecting this series. I guarantee you won't be disappointed.
