Jo Stafford

We got to know music composer Vic Van De Reijt on his previous compilations (with his hundred favorite French, German and 'Suri-Vlame' hits) as a man with an omnivorous taste in music, who managed to forge well-known and obscure hits together into a beautiful whole. The fifties are central to this compilation album. An exciting job, because there are quite a few fifties collectors in circulation. In the accompanying booklet, Van de Reijt defends his choices, especially to opt for the original versions and why he did not choose a Dutch repertoire ('they simply couldn't compete with other countries'). The five CDs are divided into one with instrumental songs, one with male and one with female soloists, one rock and roll CD and, the best, a CD with novelty hits.

Radiant Beams On This Christmas Eve is another spectacular collection of some of the greatest seasonal songs of all time! Generous helpings of Christmas melodies by some of the world's greatest artists including Roger Williams, Billy Vaughn, Gisele MacKenzie, The Mills Brothers, Nat King Cole, Charly Tabor and Teresa Brewer.

A cross section of Hawaiian music, from lap-steel great Sol Hoopii to Ella Fitzgerald, with a large helping of slack-key guitar, lush instrumentals, gorgeous singing and melodic masterpieces, some once buried in the vinyl landfill and resurrected here for the first time.

No girl singer achieved the world wide star status of an Elvis Presley or Frank Sinatra and no girl group had anything like as sustained a run of hits as a Drifters or Four Tops. But in that heady decade between 1953 and 1962, the girl singers were no less important in the world of entertainment. Country music was full of girl singers, girls could handle a ballad just as well as the boys and many were recipients of songs by some of pop music’s legendary songsmiths of the day. On More Lipstick, Powder & Paint (sequel to Lipstick, Powder & Paint FVTD194), you’ll find classic songs, readily recognisable names, as well as lost gems from country, pop and R&B and a few that we hope will be a revelation for you. Prepare to step back in time…and be royally entertained.
