MEMORIES ARE MADE OF HITS - VOLUME 2 HA 8130 (-64) UK MONO

British collection containing twelve hits by US artists recorded 1957-63, many of them all time classics. Feels good to get Little Richard "Lucille", Bobby Freeman "Do You Wanna Dance" and Del Shannon "Runaway", coupled with the Boots Randolph "Yakety Sax" and Ramrods "Riders In The Sky" instrumentals - in one place. All conveyed by original mono mixes with strong and clear audio. This is one of the reasons I adore older hit compilations made close to the fact. Getting one classic after another, as they were. I have changed a lot since and not always to the better, but this is still smashing. I'm listening now and there's so many feelings as I'm taking head trips back to early school dances, puppy loves and long idle sessions in front of the radio. But collections like this can also be valuable for less old music lovers since it's a way to get it historically correct - avoiding later tampering with the songs like fake stereo or other kind of re-mix and just hear it as it was. Even if you prefer it digital or re-made...it's important to know. To my knowledge this was the only issue. First had label as shown here, thick vinyl and laminated cover. (SÄM*)
