  • Description

    'Alley-Oop: 30 One Hit Wonders - US Pop!' is a fun compilation of records which provided the only chart entry for its respective performer.

    This Volume concentrates on the US Top 100, between the years 1955-62 and features an eclectic mix of artists and musical genres, from doo wop to R&B, from R&R to novelty songs, from death discs to embryonic soul.



    Includes million-selling, #1 records like The Elegants' "Little Star", and The Hollywood Argyles' ultra-cool title track, to barely-remembered, semi-novelty items like Billy Graves' "The Shag (Is Totally Cool)", Lonnie Russ's "My Wife Can't Cook" and Rex Allen's preposterous "Don't Go Near The Indians".



    Also features much-loved Doo Wop classics like The Penguins' irresistible "Earth Angel" (often described as America's favourite radio Oldie), Johnnie & Joe's lilting "Over The Mountain, Across The Sea" and The Edsels' irrepressible "Rama Lama Ding Dong", amid a myriad of others.
