1960 British Hit Parade: B Sides Part Three / Various

• Tracklist

These three great value 4-CD sets are the companion volumes to our existing 1960 British Hit Parade collections, which between them feature every record which entered the UK Top 50 during the year. These sets comprise the B sides of those hits, excluding those which appeared on the original collections as A sides. Collectors of our British Hit Parade anthologies enjoy the opportunity to have both sides of the records, and many of the tracks are highly collectable, since they have never been on CD before. It is a fascinating trawl through an interesting and only sketchily documented aspect of pop music, offering an insight into the thinking of artists and A&R men and the way that records came together in the studio. It also offers some true gems, where great songs and performances are hidden away on the rarely-heard other sides of the records which charted. Each set includes a comprehensive 10,000-word booklet with complete discographical information, label credits and background detail and entertaining commentary on every track.
