The Chancellor Records Story Volume 2

Description

The Chancellor Records Story Volume 2 is a compelling CD compilation drawing from the catalog of Chancellor Records, the Philadelphia-based independent label that punched well above its weight during the late 1950s and early 1960s. Chancellor was home to major teen pop figures who helped define the era’s radio-friendly sound — melodic, polished, and brimming with youth energy. This second volume digs further into the label’s history, surfacing recordings that capture the spirit of a formative moment in American pop and rock and roll. An indispensable listen for collectors and historians of the era…
