Another classic instalment of "The Girl Group Sound", this 30-track set is Jasmine's long awaited follow up to 'Love Charms - West Coast hits and rarities from California Girls & Groups 1957-1962' (JASCD963), however, this time around the tracks are from the US East Coast, taking in New York, Philadelphia, Detroit and Chicago.
Featured artists range from famous names like The Ronettes, Patty LaBelle & The Blue Belles, The Chantels, Erma Franklin and Shirley Ellis to Brill Building Soul sisters like The Shirelles, The Exciters, The Cookies and Little Eva.
And from Cameo-Parkway thrushes The Orlons and Dee Dee Sharp to Tamla-Motown songstresses The Marvelettes, The Vells, The Supremes, Martha & The Vandellas and Mary Wells.
While elsewhere, we have perhaps lesser-readily known names like The Carousels, Mary Ann Fisher, Ann Cole, The Corvells, Tammy Montgomery, Tawny Williams, Geraldine Hunt and The Heartbreakers.
