Serenaders - Golden Oldies - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Deep, heady grooves anchor the second album by New York's Endless Boogie. Once a hobby, now becoming the powerhouse they were meant to be. Is the world ready? Led by Top Dollar, the egoless front man and master of his instrument, the Boogie cut seven glorious tracks at Rare Book Room studios in Brooklyn, tacked on a goddamn epic rehearsal jam and called it Full House Head. We're not one to speak hyperboles, but it could be the first masterpiece of the new decade.

The Velours were one of the more talented street-corner groups of the fifties along with Dave InchBabyInch Cortez and his Pearls group.

These vintage Onyx tag recordings include the original classic hits InchCan I Come Over Tonight,Inch InchCan I Walk You Home,Inch InchThis Could Be the NightInch and more. All selections newly re-mastered.

Formed in 1958 in New York City, The Del Satins recorded their debut single, InchI'll Pray for YouInch in 1961 and shortly after joined forces with Dion DiMucci who wanted to replace his backing band, The Belmonts, with a rockier sound. The resulting single, “Runaround Sue” rose to the number one slot on the Billboard charts. Although they received no credit, they also sang on many of Dion’s later hits such as “The Wanderer” and “Ruby Baby.” After releasing a number of singles under their own name, they finally scored big with InchTeardrops Follow MeInch in 1962, cementing their stature in the doo-wop and early rock n’ roll community. Presented here is a comprehensive collection of early Del-Satins singles released between 1961 through the mid 1960’s. All selections have been newly remastered.
