Enjoy some of the most memorable and sought-after pop hits of 1958 with Hard To Find Jukebox Classics 1958: Pop Gold, a jam-packed collection of hard-to-find favorites, many of which have never before appeared on CD! Superb, audiophile quality remastering, a generous lineup of choice hits, and an informative booklet make this an extraordinary entertainment value for casual oldies fans, as well as a bonanza for collectors.
Looking for cuts that have never been on CD? Betty Johnson’s “Dream” and Johnny Nash’s “The Voice Of Love” and “As Time Goes By” not only make their first-time appearances on CD here, but also appear in ultra-rare stereo. The Johnny Nash cuts haven’t been heard in stereo, if at all, since their original appearance on a practically unknown stereo single in 1958!
Also new to CD is Nick Noble’s “A Fallen Star” – the highest-charting version of that popular song – and June Valli’s much-requested hit, “The Wedding.” You’ll find the original single versions of The Playmates’ “Beep Beep” in stereo as well as Doris Day’s “Everybody Loves A Lover” in stereo exclusively on this collection. Betty Madigan’s “Dance Everyone Dance” and Betty Johnson’s unforgettable novelty “The Little Blue Man” may not be entirely new to CD, but they are definitely hard to find.
Hit Parade pairs up artists’ hits so you don’t have to buy multiple collections to get the songs you want: Eileen Rodgers’ “Miracle Of Love” and “Treasure Of Your Love,” and Kathy Linden’s “Billy” and “Goodbye Jimmy, Goodbye,” are just two examples on this volume.
Terrific Value! An incomparable selection of 26 songs lasting over a full hour, and a fact- and photo-filled 12-page booklet featuring a 3,500 word essay by music writer Greg Adams, Hard To Find Jukebox Classics 1958: Pop Gold is truly worth its weight in gold. (Also see Hard To Find Jukebox Classics 1958: Rhythm & Rock and 1958: More Pop Gold.)
