Valentine's Day and the Wedding Spirit

Our Valentine's Day compilations can be heard throughout the year. We think the longing and thoughts to the beloved should not be limited to one day a year. With this issue, we combine Valentine's Day with the theme of getting married. Unmarried people will start dreaming about it, while already married people will reminisce while listening to this CD. Although there are many up-tempo songs to listen to, it is still quite romantic.

Hits and Rarities

This compilation delivers some rare recordings, e.g. by Nat Nyll and Orchestra or a very rare recording for Imperial Records by Terri & The Kittens. Who remembers The Tarriers on the Glory label? Or a Sun recording from Memphis by a certain O.C. Holt, unreleased at the time? Well-known titles are balanced with rarities.

Gene Vincent's obligatory Wedding Bells, Brenda Lee's Let's Jump The Broomstick and Donnie Brooks' Mission Bell are among the better known titles. And of course, the classic Love And Marriage in the version of the McGuire Sisters can't be missed! British artists include Eve Boswell, Frank Weir, Rikki Henderson, Tommy Steele, Victor Silvester, Jack Hylton, The Brook Brothers and the great Lorrae Desmond! Our CD compilation offers a potpourri of diverse styles: Teen Rock, Country & Western, Big Band Swing, Rhythm & Blues, Pop Crooner, Rockabilly, Doo Wop, Ballads - what more could you ask for?

The CD includes a 20-page color booklet with many rare photos and nostalgic illustrations, as well as an accompanying text by the producer for each song!
