Luke,

Sorry, an entry error on my part! I will edit.

Bob

 

Jack Scott's Burning Bridges should be in stereo (maybe on the Capitol comp of his Top Rank stuff???), and the Hank Ballard is probably stereo on the new Collectables comp (Little Walter mastered it so the mixes should be pretty authentic)...

 

Mike,

Thanks for the info!

Bob

 

I'm putting in my advanced order for the CD!

 

Grant,

So noted, cataloged and saved!

Bob

 

Image of a Girl - - Safaris

On Ace's Golden Age ... Vol. 1 ... which I bet you have.

No acknowledgment necessary (NAN)

 

Bob, you have most (if not all) of the number one songs from 1960 with the exception of Stuck On You by Elvis Presley. Is this omission on purpose or simply an oversight?

 

GD,

An oversight..I will use the version mastered by Steve in Stereo.

Thanks for asking!

Bob

All great suggestions! Thanks!

Rockin' Little Angel--Ray Smith
Tight Skirts--Floyd Dixon
Pretty Blue Eyes--Steve Lawrence (has always eluded me for some reason)
Happy Go Lucky Me--Paul Evans

Lucille--Everly Bros. I did not forget it but, I could not find a date anywhere in my books or CD's. I guessed it was 60' or 61' but, had no clue.

Thanks for looking at 1960!

Bob

 

Here are the rest of my suggestions for 1960 - Part 2

Big Boy Pete - - The Olympics

Just A Little Bit - - Rosco Gordon (Golden Age ... Vol. 5)(Another gem )

Tonight's The Night - - The Shirelles

Whip It On Me - - Jessie Hill (If you like "Ooh Poo Pah Doo", you will like this one )

Over You - - Aaron Neville (Did not chart, but a goody )

Mister Lonely - - The Videls

 

Peaked at #21 on 10/10/60.

 

Chip,

I have all but Whip it On Me and Over You. Chip, your collection is definitely one to be admired!

Thanks!

Bob

 

Bob,

Re:
Pretty Blue Eyes--Steve Lawrence (has always eluded me for some reason)

It is found (in Stereo) on Teenage Crush-ACE CDCHD 640

This CD is recommended! 28 early rock/Pop greats (1955-1965)

 

Pat,

Which Volume? 1 or 2? I have volume 3.

Thanks!

Bob

 

Bob,

My guess is that it is Volume 1...

Mine just says Teenage Crush.
Just refer to the number to make sure you get the RIGHT one!
By number...I'm referring to the ACE CD # listed above.

 

Pat,

Sounds like Vol.1.

Thanks!

Bob
