AVID Pop presents the latest release in our Five Classic Album series with a remastered 2CD release Classic Girl Groups, complete with original artwork, liner notes and personnel details.
“The Shirelles: Tonight’s The Night”; “The Angels: And The Angels Sing”; “The Marvelettes: Playboy”; “The Crystals: Twist Uptown” and “The Orlons: The Wah- Watusi!”
Finding a wonderful niche between r&b, rock n roll, doo wop and pure pop the girl group sensation was riding high in the late 1950s and early 1960s and of course gave rise to amongst others, The Supremes, The Shangri-La’s, and onwards and upwards to Fanny, Bananarama, The Spice Girls, Eternal, The Bangles, Haim, Warpaint, Thunderpussy, The Dixie Chicks and beyond. Here we feature five of the key girl bands of the era, get your dancing shoes on and have a blast! As with all AVID releases, we hope you enjoy them and check out our extensive catalogue for more great music across pop and many other musical genres.
