1957 was such a great year for music that we felt it deserved TWO CD albums to bring back more of its classic, but now hard-to-find songs. Here's the second CD for that year in this audiophile-quality reissue series and it's stuffed with 24 hard-to-find Rhythm & Blues and early R & R hits (almost an hour's worth). Again, almost all made the Top 20 but you won't find these in ordinary oldies collections. Many of these memorable songs have appeared briefly on CD only to be quickly deleted. As with all Hit Parade releases, the material here has been carefully selected and superbly mastered for highest quality sound. Includes detailed bios of all the artists. Hit Parade Records is a new Canadian audiophile-quality reissue label dedicated to finding, restoring, and preserving lost treasures like these. Exclusively distributed in the U.S. by Eric Records, Hit Parade employs many of the same creative folks who lovingly compile those great Eric CD's - including Greg Adams, whose detailed liner notes with biographies of all the artists will fascinate you for almost as long as thealmost full hour it will take you to listen to Hard To Find Jukebox Classics 1957: Rhythm & Rock!
