Meet Me At The Candy Store: 31 Sweets For / Var- Meet Me At The Candy Store: 31 Sweets For / Var
-Sweets are the everyday little pleasures - this loving compilation is the nostalgic soundtrack to go with them. Let's meet at the Candy Store! -We don't just have plain chocolate in our program, we carry all kinds of chocolate variations. -With 31 tracks from 1950 - 1964 we have assembled the sweets of a musically highly lively time! -Primarily you can hear Rock 'n' Roll with plenty of Doo-Wop, including recordings that are quite rare nowadays and appear here on CD for the first time! -The package is rounded off with the occasional country, pop, mambo and swing! -Musical candy for everyday ears, not only for collectors! -The 16-page color booklet contains notes by producer Marc Mittelacher on each track and many photos and illustrations. Who still remembers the famous scene in a Pippi Longstocking movie, when the children pressed their noses flat against the window of the candy store and Pippi subsequently bought the store empty and distributed candy canes, sweets and chocolate. We also remember it from our own childhood and youth, a candy store has always been a meeting place, whether in Europe or the United States. Like all large and small topics of everyday life, this subject is also well documented musically, and we have picked out the musical raisins and summarized them in this collection! Sweets For My Sweet is probably the best-known song in this compilation, here in the original version by the Drifters (most listeners will be familiar with the Searchers' version). In addition to a host of little-known artists who nevertheless sound like hit-makers, we have top names of music history like The Ames Brothers with a swing boogie, an early recording by Buddy Greco, a mambo by Frank Virtue, a rare LP track by the Crew Cuts and last but not least the rare stereo version of the McGuire Sisters' Sugartime Twist! Appearing here for the first time on CD are the title track Meet Me At The Candy Store by The Chesterfields and other rare numbers.
