VARIOUS ARTISTS - MEET ME AT THE CANDY STORE Price: €12.99 Format: Compact Disc Availability: Immediate Dispatch

Sweets For My Sweet is probably the best-known song in this compilation, here in the original version by the Drifters (most listeners will be familiar with the Searchers version). In addition to a host of little-known artists who nevertheless sound like hit-makers, we have top names of music history like The Ames Brothers with a swing boogie, an early recording by Buddy Greco, a mambo by Frank Virtue, a rare LP track by the Crew Cuts and last but not least the rare stereo version of the McGuire Sisters Sugartime Twist! Appearing here for the first time on CD are the title track Meet Me At The Candy Store by The Chesterfields and rare numbers by The Val-Chords, Johnny Redd, Judy Valentine, Ricky & The Vacels, Ronnie Diamond and many more! Along with plenty of rock n roll smashes, we deliver country sounds from Dick Curless as The Trail Riders, Canadian singer Kidd Baker, Charlie Walker and Eddie Miller. Plus some Latin/Mambo from Chuck Cabot and Tito Rodriguez and vintage pop from Nat Russell from Denmark, Alan Copeland, Larry Dean with the Lennon Sisters, Lola Ameche etc. The compilation closes with the absolute classic that everyone knows from Sesame Street, here in the original version! The CD comes with a 16-page booklet in color with background information on each song, compiled and written by Marc Mittelacher, as well as many partly rare photos and illustrations!
