20 ORIGINAL WINNERS OF 1964 R-25293 (-65) US MONO

 If you follow this blog you know by now I love all kinds of compilations and especially those who carry rare cuts, close to the fact. There may not be any outmost rarities on this, but most of them scarce if you want them on early LP and above all it's a stunning collection of goodies. You might think that cramming in ten cuts on each side would impair the audio, but this offers enjoyable listening all the way. So many classic oldies on here - Millie Small "My Boy Lollipop", Mary Wells "My Guy", Betty Everett "Shoop Shoop Song", Honeycombs "Have I The Right", Miracles "You Really Got A Hold On Me", Rivieras "California Sun" and Drifters "Under The Boardwalk", to mention some. I also get a few new to me, like Patty & The Emblems "Mixed Up, Shook Up Girl", The Exciters "I Want You To Be My Boy" and The Raindrops "What A Guy". Happy hearing all through, fitting for close listening, background to chores or party music. To my knowledge only released in US and Canada and on vinyl only. Can't seem figure out if this the US original or the somewhat later re-press, but it really doesn't matter to me. The music is there and it's good. Anyway it came with label as shown here in a fully laminated cover.  (YZÄ*)  (ÖXCÅ*)  (SÄM*)  (FÄV*)
