Review Text
This 64-track, 2CD set focuses on the dawn of the newly emergent 60s Popcorn Brit Girl Sound, between 1960-62. It features all the "usual suspects" like Helen Shapiro, Susan Maughan, Julie Grant, Billie Davis (who sings the title track), Carol Deene, The Breakaways, The Vernons Girls, Maureen Evans, Kathy Kirby, Anita Harris, Jackie Trent, Louise Cordet, Lynn Cornell, Glenda Collins, etc. , not forgetting Dusty, when she was still a Springfield. Juxtaposed against newcomers like Grazina, Candy Sparling, Simone Jackson, Christine Quaite, Susan Singer, Patsy Ann Noble, Patti Lynn, Penny Calvert, Suzy Cope, Hayley Mills, Valerie Mountain, Sally Green, etc. Also, members of the established "old guard", embracing the new Brit Girl sound, Alma Cogan, Petula Clark, Marion Ryan, Lita Roza, Cleo Laine, Jackie Lee, Ruby Murray, Pat Reader, Lorne Lesley, etc. This is a unique collection of hits and obscure collectors' rarities, many of the latter appearing here for the first time on CD.
