This month we jump in the tune tardis and travel back in time a further 30 years for the latest instalment in our successful ‘50s rock ‘n’ roll range.
Chart Toppin’ Doo Woppin’ Volume 1: Rock Me All Night Long is a collection of vocal group harmony classics including no less than 12 number ones and a further ten top three singles! Beat that for a hit rate if you dare! ‘Doo Wop’ is a term not favoured by fans of the genre… try and think of it more as a blend of rhythm and blues, gospel and jive with those ever-present harmonies as the icing on the cake. Smashes from household names (and Rev-Ola stars) The Drifters and Billy Ward & The Dominoes join mega-hits by The Clovers, The Orioles, The Five Royales and The Four Bl1_azes to form the first volume of what will soon become a doo wop series. Collect the set!
