SPECIAL DOO WOP EDITION 1956-1963 • Special Editions of "The Golden Age of American Rock'n'Roll" have to be special to justify thei r existence and sequels, such as this, are subjected to even greater analytical scrutiny in the preparation process than preceding volumes, thus avoiding the sense of dejà vu that blights many a follow-up work. When one considers that doo wop was a largely American phenomenon and very much of its time, our Doo Wop Special Edition proved exceptionally popular. • Volume 2 mines the same rich seam of vocal group splendour - only it digs deeper, to bring us many of the more obscure or lesser doo wop hits - but hits nonetheless - by groups lost to posterity, counterbalanced by some better-known names. Point is, they're all great records and, as the majority of the titles are being made available on a legitimate CD for the first time (with the benefit of high quality mastering), both collectors and the casual listener will find much to savour in this 30-track package. • Compiled by Rob Finnis and Trevor Churchill • Attractive mega-booklet containing many rare illustrations and detailed notes by American doo wop authority Peter Grendysa.
