Playboy's Lingerie 2004

And you thought the Shangri-Las were a piece of work? Well, gals with even greater attitude abound all over Ace's latest CD salute to the fairer sex! Unlike any other girl group CD on Ace, this one - as its title implies - mostly features girl bands who not only sing up a storm but play one up, too! Packed with extreme rarities and previously unissued masters by such genre favourites as the Goodees, She, the Girls, an incognito Jackie De Shannon and Goldie and the Gingerbreads - thus guaranteeing core interest immediately!

Legendary rocker, one of the purest incarnations of this wild music which was preparing to invade the musical landscape, Vince Taylor caused a real shock on his arrival in France. An inveterate showman, he will turn his concerts into moments of pure madness that will regularly turn into riot. He will record a breathtaking succession of "EP's" as incandescent as they are impeccably produced, with the complicity of talented musicians who are perfectly trained. Vince Taylor's career will be a chain of scandals and triumphs. Brought together in this luxurious triple digipak, Vince's recordings for Barclay in their entirety are for the first time accompanied by the first 8 tracks recorded in England at the start of his career, including the immortal Brand New Cadillac. The 16-page booklet, richly illustrated with rare documents, is accompanied by testimonies and comments from Dick Rivers, Marc Zermati, Philippe Maneuver and Jacky Chalard who all lived up close to the legend of "the black angel of rock"
