Various Artists - Early Girls Volume 5

Facts 2008 release, the fifth and final installment in this popular series. Gone are the Debbie Reynolds, Rosemary Clooney's and Doris Days of the last volume and in come the glittering teen goddesses of the Brill Building/Phil Spector era. The girl group genre remains one of the most collectable in the reissue market and this compilation must rank as one of the strongest in the series and on the market as a whole since it mops up a lot of scarce lesser hits as well as some better known ones. Compilers Rob Finnis and Trevor Churchill have gone to great lengths to bring you those missing links and 13 of the titles on Volume 5 are new to CD with two (by the Channels and Patty Lace) being released in stereo for the first time. Ace.
