Let's
face it folks, this was a great time to have been buying music! We
can all remember the first record we bought or rushing down to the
local record shop to spend our pocket money on that great new 45 you
just heard on Radio 1 or Radio Luxembourg. It was THE period in popular
music history - It all started here with the real pioneers of pop
- The Shadows, The Beatles, The Stones, The Searchers, Cliff Richard,
Dusty Springfield… need we say more. Our kids might call us 'crumblies',
but we know the oldies are still the best - a fact that the younger
generation often have to concede to when their current day pop idols
cover (or murder in some cases) the classics from the past.
We
will be offering as many of these classics as we can in this department,
mixing the familiar with the not so familiar, but if the old brain
cells don't lock in on some of them straight away, don't worry about
it - this trip down memory lane will reveal quite a few gems you had
forgotten about until now. Our department offers a varied selection
of 60's/70's solo artists and beat groups, many of which achieved
a high degree of popularity in their time, as well as others that
might have been equally deserving yet didn't (a situation that still
exists today!) As with all the CDS departments, we welcome any enquiries
you have on any artists and groups we list or feature. However, it
is equally important that you contact us with details of any you expected
to find, but didn't - please don't hesitate to ASK! Our Customers
Services department will be glad to help.
