VARIOUS ARTISTS
IT CAME FROM THE SUBURBS - RARE TEEN ROCK FROM THE KENNEDY ERA |  |
Description:
Ace Records continue to exploit the fascinatingly quirky Downey Records catalog. "It Came From The Suburbs" started with the working title of "Downey Teens," and although not as evocative, that working title said it all. This collection brings us doo wop including some unreleased rarities, quasi rockabilly, teen ballads, honking R&B strollers, novelty pop and more, creating a patchwork of teen music from the Kennedy era, the strange years leading up to the Beatles and the British Invasion. The Downey vaults excavation continues to bring straight from the master tape quality, and we keep discovering that the released sides and the two or three hits on the label were only a small part of the Downey story. |
