If variety is the spice of life, then listening to American radio during the early part of the 1960s was certainly a spicy experience! Legend has it that the period covered by these 3CDs was a low point in pop, roughly bordered by Elvis enlisting in the Army in 1958, and the American breakthrough of The Beatles in 1964. But even the briefest look at these titles - or the quickest of listens, will disprove that legend. Here is a delicious menu of dance sensations, virtuoso instrumentals, novelty hits, heart-breaking ballads together with some of the perkiest pop you could wish for.

Not every record that s released can be a hit, but - hit or not - every record released is still a memory for someone. In The Forgotten 45s 1957-1959 we are remembering the records that deserved to be a UK hit but, for whatever reason, were not. Packed with singles by hit-makers of the calibre of Gene Vincent, Alma Cogan, Frankie Lymon, Lonnie Donegan, Brenda Lee and Dion, as well as US acts hoping to extend their success beyond the domestic market, this 3CD set devotes one disc to each year from 1957 to 1959, and will be followed by a companion set covering the years 1960-1962. Reflecting the musical preferences of the era, the featured styles run the gamut of R&B, doo wop, rock & roll, country, skiffle and mainstream pop. Considered alongside hits-of-the-year compilations, like Fantastic Voyage s exhaustive British Hit Parade series, The Forgotten 45s offers a fascinating parallel narrative. Artists, labels and other pundits could reasonably have expected these recording to be UK hit singles, but they were denied that success. The reason may be apparent with hindsight: the timely release of a rival version, or the listening public starting to fall out of love with the artist, or their style of music. But other misses are harder to fathom, and of course it is this unpredictability that goes a long way to explain our fascination with hit records. If you were one of the few that bought one or more of these tracks back in the day, then you already know the enjoyment you derived from them, and you can sit back and let the memories come flooding back. If you are only now discovering the music of a bygone age, then The Forgotten 45s offers an intriguing, different dimension to your journey.

Crystal, Chief, Chance, Tempus, and Oriole as well as the more famous Vee-Jay and Chess.

Rock 'N' Roll Love Songs is a decent three-disc set highlighting 60 pop singles released in the '50s and '60s. Along with tried-and-true radio classics by Buddy Holly, Roy Orbison, and the Platters are less-than-obvious inclusions by Miller Sisters ("Got You on My Mind"), Four Aces ("Love Is a Many-Splendored Thing"), and Charlie Feathers ("I Forgot to Remember to Forget"). These are the original recordings and, with the exception of the campy soda shop packaging, is recommended.

Could be any night between 1954 and 1962.

No need to talk, the radio fills in for conversation, with one after another of these classics. Perhaps though,you aren't actually going anywhere. Maybe you are just… Cruising. Over the years, everyone from the Beach Boys to Tom Waits, has sung the praises of rock & roll allied to the automobile. They knew too that nothing beats the sheer, undiluted joy of cruising in your Cadillac with the radio on, playing these cruisin' classics…
