Description
A vivid snapshot of early 1960s pop culture, this CD collects ten genuine jukebox staples spanning surf rock, girl-group soul, and novelty pop. The Beach Boys’ barnstorming ‘Fun, Fun, Fun’ and Jan & Dean’s chart-topping ‘Surf City’ anchor the surf side of the comp, while The Exciters’ urgent ‘Tell Him’ and Ernie K-Doe’s New Orleans classic ‘Mother-In-Law’ showcase the era’s R&B energy. Lonnie Mack’s scorching instrumental take on ‘Memphis’ and The Hollywood Argyles’ irresistible ‘Alley Oop’ round out a set that captures the freewheeling spirit of an era when the American jukebox was the centre of youth culture…
