As adjuncts to our popular "America's Greatest Hits" series of collections for each calendar year in the 50s and early '60s, we have already produced collections based on landmark moments in the Billboard charts - "The First Top 100 Nov. 1955" (ACQCD7062), "The First Hot 100 Aug. 1958" (ACQCD7083), "The First Hot 100 of the '60s" (ACQCD7097), "The 'Heartbreak Hotel' Top 100" (ACQCD7122)and "The Day The Music Died - Feb 3rd 1959 Hot 100" (ACQCD7134), "The 'Telstar' Hot 100 December 22nd 1962" (ACQCD7144), "The Twist" Hot 100 Jan. 25th 1962", "The 1000th Billboard Chart 7th September 1959"(ACQCD7164), "The American Bandstand Us Top 100 5th Aug. 1957", "The JFK Inauguration Hot 100 20th January 1961" (ACQCD781) and "The 20th Anniversary Billboard Chart July 1960". Rather than try to find another landmark anniversary this year, we have chosen to home in on the Christmas charts, which were often important in people's lives, and start with 1956, a hugely important "turning point" year in pop, as rock 'n' roll got fully established. This collection features just about every record from the Hot 100 of 18th July 1960, apart from a two titles which are unfortunately unavailable for copyright reasons. It provides a fascinating and evocative snapshot of the music scene at what was a dynamic and exciting time as new names and new music made their impact. We reckon the Top 5 was about as brilliant a line-up as any you could wish to see. As always with these chart collections, it includes a number of unfamiliar names and recordings towards the bottom of the chart, of which even seasoned pop enthusiasts may not be too aware, and which will be welcome additions to their collections. It contains a 12,000+ word booklet featuring background notes on every record as well as full discographical and chart information.
