VA Apollo Saturday Night (remastered) (2009)

In the early to mid-1960s in Australia, the landscape was rapidly changing - the Holden now had serious competition from newcomers the Ford Falcon and Chrysler Valiant. Householders were saving and buying television sets - and Top 40 radio along with local record shops were doing big business. Another Saturday Night - 60s Giants of The Jukebox, put together by compilation producer Brent James takes us back to that booming period just prior to - and at the start of the 'British Invasion'. A 2CD set superbly mastered with State by State Australian Chart details along with extensive liner notes, the set features local chart hits from Tommy Roe, Johnny O'Keefe, Rick Nelson, Bobby Fuller, The Delltones, Jumpin' Gene Simmons, Mike Sarne, Elvis Presley, Del Shannon and many others who set the stage the for the hits that were to come.
