A sensational collection of rare American pop hits from the 50's and 60's !.......2007-03-25

If you are a serious collector of American popular music then this is one disc that should really float your boat. "The Golden Age of American Popular Music" features a generous total of 28 great pop tunes culled from the Billboard Hot 100 between the years 1956 and 1965. You probably already own a few of them, have several of them on you own "want" list and may have never even heard of some of the others. As other reviewers have already indicated, Ace records has really outdone itself with this collection.
"The Golden Age of American Popular Music" contains a few hits by artists most of us over 50 are familiar with. You'll hear the great 1957 Johnny Mathis hit "It's Not For Me To Say" as well as the late Bobby Darin talkin' 'bout "Things". But mostly, you will get to hear songs by long forgotten artists who had relatively short careers or by those who only managed to crack the Top 100 once or twice. Remember the great Gene McDaniels? "Tower of Strength" was a huge hit for him in 1961. I had not heard it in years. Adam Wade was another very popular artist for a few years in the early 1960's. Enjoy once again his great hit "As If I Didn't Know". Yes, he does sound a lot like Johnny Mathis! If you love group harmony like I do then you are sure to enjoy the original version of "See You In September" by the Tempos, "Hey Little Girl" by the Techniques and "City of Angels" by the Highlights. Along those same lines I finally got to hear the Rover Boys hit recording of "Graduation Day" from back in 1956. Great version! There are also some real oddities on this disc not the least of which is a hit record by Tony "Norman Bates" Perkins. "Moonlight Swim" climbed all the way to #24 in 1957. And you also get to sample a solo hit by one Tony Orlando nearly a decade before the advent of his 1970's group Dawn. Check it out! Finally, I was introduced to 7 or 8 songs that I had never seen nor sampled before. Of these, I most particularly enjoyed the Quaker City Boys "Teasin" and Dicky Doo and the Don'ts "Leave Me Alone (Let Me Cry)". I have to tell you that this was one CD I just had lots of fun listening to.
"The Golden Age of American Popular Music" features a remarkable 16 page booklet that includes information on all of these artists. Everything about this disc is absolutely first rate. I don't believe I have ever been disappointed by anything I have ever purchased from Ace records over the past 20 years. Very highly recommended!

Probably the best ACE compilation ever!.......2007-03-23

I luckily own the complete ACE series on Golden Age of American Rock
& Roll, that means 10 CD's + the special editions on Country and Novelty
which make it 12 + the 4 CD's called "Teenage Crush" Vol, 1,2,3 and 4.
This special Golden American Popular Hits is the best of them all.
First, because the song selection is out of sight since quite a few
songs (hits) never made it to Europe (I call them "new oldies"),second
reason because of its quality, that always have been unbeatable on all
ACE records, but this time at least 13 songs are in wonderful full
stereo including recordings from 1959. Third and lastly, many of these
songs were never available on any other Rock and Roll compilation not
even in the USA. Thanks to this UK label (ACE)a lot of dreams have
come true especially for people like me who were kids during those
wonderful years (decade from 1955 till 1965).

Little bridges for the generation gap.......2007-01-05

Ace's Golden Age of Rock 'n' Roll series has been a treasure trove of musical gems left behind by those compilers who seem to endlessly recycle the same fifty or so records forl nostalgia collections. This latest entry focuses on the popular songs that were appreciated by both the kids and the parents of the '56 - '65 era. The sound is er, Ace, as usual with the excellent, informative liner notes for which this re-issue house is known. Add this to your collection and you're bound to be thrilled as long ignored songs like "Hey-Da-Da-Dow" and "Moonlight Serenade" tickle the memories.

Ace Does It Again.......2006-12-18

28 hits from the American Hot 100 chart (not 100 hits as some people seem to think). I hope this is a new series rather than just a one off. There are still more rare songs from the US chart I need.

Good stuff.

Umm..........2006-09-29

...where are the other 72? As this is not labeled as a multi-set, or part of a series, I'm wondering how Amazon would want to sell this; it's misleading!
