Popcorn Girls/ Various - Popcorn Girls / Various

UK collection featuring girl group sounds, R&B, '50s and '60s teen pop and more, this is the latest in Croydon Municipal's forays into the Popcorn scene. With floor fillers, tear jerkers and rarities, some appearing on CD for the first time, this volume throws the spotlight on girl singers. It's a hugely enjoyable mix of '60s Soul stars (Dee Dee Sharp, Baby Washington), classy '50s vocalists (Peggy King, Margaret Whiting) and even the sole, very rare 45 by pin-up actress Tuesday Weld. The perfect soundtrack for a sticky summer picnic.
