WELCOME TO LPCDREISSUES
• Our Shirelles 2-On-1 series continues with the girls' 5th and 6th album, both originally released in 1963 on Scepter Records. • 6 US Hot 100 hits feature across these two original albums - including two songs that the girls sang in Stanley Kubrick's comedy masterpiece, "It's A Mad Mad Mad Mad World" (their only appearance on the cinema screen). • The prolific nature of Scepter's release schedule does not impact upon the quality of the recordings that the Shirelles made in their golden years. These packages feature compositions by some of the best writers of the era, among them Ellie Greenwich, Ed Townsend, Van McCoy, Bob Crewe and Bob Gaudio, and Sam Cooke. • As has been the case with our other volumes in this series, Ace has used the original Scepter album masters to create this CD, using 'real stereo' where available and straight ahead mono where stereo masters no longer exist. • The inevitable plethora of label shots and associated ephemera are once again on hand to enhance the quality of presentation of this prestige series - which puts these albums out in the UK, as they were originally issued in the USA almost half a century ago, for the first time.
