Radio Days: Top 50's & 60's Pop Hits Collection - Best Vintage Music for Parties, Road Trips & Retro Themed Events

There are four things you should know straight off about this "bargain bin" series of Radio Days releases from Front Row Entertainment: 1) all are original renditions of hit singles; 2) the sound quality is very good; 3) there are neither liner notes nor discography; 4) the original price was well below that indicated for used items.The releases in the series (as far as I know), including this volume are: Radio Days Doo Wop Memories; Radio Days Soul Party; Radio Days One Hit Wonders Of The 60's; and Radio Days 60s Weekend Party.This volume contains these 12 cuts that were among the better hits of their day:1. Raindrops - Dee Clark - # 2 Hot 100/# 3 R&B June-July 1961 - Vee-Jay 383;2. Bird Dog - The Everly Brothers - # 1 Top 100/# 1 Country for 6 weeks/# 2 R&B Aug-Oct 1958 - Cadence 1350;3. Duke Of Earl - Gene Chandler - # 1 R&B for 5 weeks/# 1 Hot 100 for 3 weeks Feb-April 1962 - Vee-Jay 416;4. Runaway - Del Shannon - # 1 Hot 100 for 4 weeks/# 3 R&B April-May 1961 - Big Top 3067;5. Tequila - The Champs - # 1 Top 100 for 5 weeks/# 1 R&B for 4 weeks March-April 1958 - Challenge 1016;6. Poetry In Motion - Johnny Tillotson - # 2 Hot 100/# 27 R &B Dec 1960-Jan 1961 - Cadence 1384;7.

Mr. Custer - Larry Verne - # 1 Hot 100/# 9 R&B Oct 1960 - Era 3024;10. I'm Leaving It Up To You - Dale & Grace - # 1 Hot 100 for 2 weeks/# 6 R&B Nov-Dec 1963 - Montel 921;11. Happy Together - The Turtles - # 1 Hot 100 for 3 weeks Feb-April 1967 - White Whale 244;12. Tell It Like It Is - Aaron Neville - # 1 R &B for 5 weeks/# 2 Hot 100 Dec 1966-Jan 1967 - Par-Lo 101.Note that Billboard had suspended the R&B charts from late 1963 and throughout 1964 and only later arbitrarily assigned the same Hot 100 position to the R&B charts for "historical" purposes). All of the affected songs above would have been huge R&B entries had those charts been in effect.Alley Oop would have been a much better choice for the One Hit Wonders Of The 60s volume since that was their only hit under the name Hollywood Argyles.If you can find a used copy at a decent price this and the other volumes in the series will make nice additions to your musical library.
