Another high-class mixture of all sorts of rock & roll from the music's first decade, blending not just styles but varying levels of familiarity. You got some pretty well-known classics here, like Little Willie John's "Fever," Dion & the Belmonts' "I Wonder Why," Shep and the Limelites' "Daddy's Home," Jimmy Soul's "If You Wanna Be Happy," and Charlie Rich's "Lonely Weekends." What makes this more enticing for listeners with any aspirations whatsover to put music about as good, but not as well known, into their collection is the presence of numerous fine lower-charting hits. Wanda Jackson's "Let's Have a Party" could be the finest female rockabilly performance of all time, and Buster Brown's "Fannie Mae" is one of the bluesiest items ever to make the Top Forty. There's also Jessie Hill's inane New Orleans R&B chant "Ooh Poo Pah Doo"; the Chanters' infectious doo wop hit "No, No, No"; the Cellos' profoundly silly doo wop standard "Rang Tang Ding Dong (I Am the Japanese Sandman)"; Ronnie Self's fantastic slice of rockabilly lunacy "Bop-A-Lena"; and Dr. Feelgood's original version of "Doctor Feel-Good," which became a much covered R&B staple, despite making only number 66 in 1962. Right there you've got more nuggets than most oldies collections offer, and although some of the forgotten semi-hits here are indeed unmemorable, it's an anthology that's both quite good and quite diverse. Here's some trivia you probably won't read in any other review of this CD: The Majors' late doo wop hit "A Wonderful Dream," which nearly made the Top Twenty in 1962, was covered by the great French star Francoise Hardy soon afterward as "Je Pense a Lui."

==============================================

Situated on the cusp of Hanger Lane, a busy West London gyratory system every bit as ugly as its name, the Belvedere Restaurant is a lunchtime magnet for assorted business suits, passing reps, the odd courting couple and, on occasion, various Ace persons, all savouring the excellent Italian-style cuisine and attentive service. This is the trattoria in whose comforting confines Trevor Churchill, John Broven and Rob Finnis have sketched out the blueprint for virtually every volume of 'The Golden Age Of American Rock'n'Roll', universally acclaimed as the most comprehensive overview of pre-Beatles rock 'n' pop ever compiled on CD. If this all sounds like great fun, it is also the prelude to a lot of hard work.
Many months later and it's all beginning to come together. Favours have been called in, licensors dealt with, and the photo/historical research completed. No matter how intricate the machinations, licensing co-ordinator Liz Buckley can always be relied on to keep a cool head. There are usually last minute questions over licensing rights or the quality of a particular mastering source. You can usually tell when these hitches have occurred by the impatient look on Trevor Churchill's face. And spare a thought for our in-house designer Chris Popham who has to put it all together, ensuring it has that unmistakably polished "Golden Age" look.
To date, collective sales of "The Golden Age" series have exceeded 100,000 copies and we thank everyone for sharing the faith. Each successive release brings special responsibilities in terms of product refinement and we believe that Volume 9 maintains the high standard we have set for ourselves.
The compilation of US Hot 100 entries from the years 1955 - 1963, contains the usual varied mix of major and minor hits including quite a few which were not originally released in the UK at the time. There is a strong 'feelgood' factor to it - check out the track listing on the previous page - while the vividly illustrated 28 page booklet containing the stories behind the hits, surpasses even our own expectations. Most of you will have a particular favourite among the existing eight volumes and it is likely that this latest chapter in the story will soon be vying for the top spot in your affections.
