WELCOME TO LPCDREISSUES
· Ace’s popular ‘Chartbusters USA’ series is back, after a short break, with the first of several ‘themed’ volumes highlighting specific aspects of mid-late 60s American Popular music. "
"
· As its name implies, “Sunshine Pop” focuses on the up-tempo, upbeat style of Hot 100 hit as exemplified by the likes of the Mamas and the Papas, the Turtles and the 5th Dimension. It’ll be the perfect soundtrack to the ‘sizzling summer’ that weather forecasters are predicting for 2009. "
"
· Despite the fact that many of these records were hits in both the US and the UK, many of them have never been issued on UK CD before - and, in some cases, the single versions used here have never been on CD anywhere in the world before."
"
· Many of the contributors to “Sunshine Pop” are among the best-known names of their era and, whether they were minor successes or massive smashes, all of the tracks are staples of US Oldies radio. "
"
· As is the case throughout this series, copious sleeve notes and a wealth of label shots and related ephemera enhance a splendid listening experience. "
"
· Get out the sun lounger, pour yourself a Pimms, plug in your IPod and enjoy some instant sunshine courtesy of Ace.""
