Radio DJ and record collector Mark Lamarr has assembled an essential guide to this period of musical development, being careful to select tracks largely unavailable elsewhere. Naturally we are talking singles you would only be able to pick up from US sources, and then after serious searching. Mark has also supplied the extensive liner notes and astonishing memorabilia from a collection probably unique in Britain. The Americana label on the front cover is no accident or invention on our part. Early on Capitol Records ran a series of these singles releases labelled as Capitol Americana. Proving there is nothing new under the sun today’s coinage of the term is some 50 years after it was first used.
