Ace (UK), Late 60s/Early 70s. New Copy ... $12.99 18.99
A great document of a really cool moment in British pop – a time when the music eschwed guitars in favor of strings and larger arrangements – not in the sweet style that American singers were using at the start of the 60s, but a much darker mode that paved the way for even more complex ... read more CD
Ace (UK), Late 70s/Early 80s. New Copy ... $12.99 18.99

Bear Family (Germany), Late 50s. New Copy ... $18.99 20.99

That's Ruth Brown and LaVern Baker kissing a young Clyde McPhatter – and the image should be a tip that there's as much soul on this set as there is early rock and roll!
