Hard to Find Jukebox Classics
Stereo Explosion Vol. 8:
Fifties Crooners, Doo Wop & More
Hit Parade CD #12338 (Import) $15.98
Imagine what Elvis Presley would think if he could hear how 21st-century A.I. technology has produced the most advanced stereo versions of three of his great early hits. You’ll be as amazed as the King when you hear these original ’50s classics, along with Frank Sinatra’s “Witchcraft,” “Love and Marriage,” and “All the Way”; Dean Martin’s “Memories Are Made of This,” and a dozen great doo-wop faves like the Moonglows’ “Sincerely,” the Crows’ “Gee,” the Clovers’ “Devil Or Angel,” the Heartbeats’ “A Thousand Miles Away,” the Robins’ “Smokey Joe’s Cafe,” and Johnnie & Joe’s “Over The Mountain,” all now in brilliant modern stereo. Includes a 12-page booklet with photos and liner notes by Bill Dahl.
For serious ’50s crooner & instrumental collectors, there are finally the stereo debuts of the ORIGINAL hit single versions (not the later re-recordings) of Percy Faith’s “Song From Moulin Rouge” (complete with the Felicia Sanders vocal) and his “Delicado,” along with Nat “King” Cole’s “Mona Lisa” and three from Ol’ Blue Eyes himself. And don’t miss two often overlooked Perry Como greats, the super lush “Wanted” (#1) and his rockin’ “Juke Box Baby.”
Check out the sound samples below (on your best system). You won’t find these EXCLUSIVE stereo gems online!
