PARNES LARRY - CD EXTRAVAGANZA

Popis - EXTRAVAGANZA:
As the austere years of the 1950s gave way to the Swinging 60s, Larry Parnes was transforming the pop music scene. His package tours of carefully groomed young men criss-crossed the nation in rickety coaches, entertaining sell-out crowds at theatres and hastily converted cinemas. Peaksofts new release recaptures the spirit of the times, with a blend of hit favourites and rocking rarities by the singers who trod the board every night for a pittance. Several tracks appear on CD for the first time - some were unearthed by the performers themselves from attics and cupboards - and the album signs off with So Little Time, Goon Peter Sellers hilarious sketch parodying Parnes.
Veteran rock n roller Vince Eager contributes a foreword to the 8-page illustrated booklet that paints a vivid picture of the Parnes package tour phenomenon and answers the questions:
Whose instruments were confiscated when they failed to provide a hit? Whose father stopped him signing for Parnes after the impresario took a very personal interest in the singer?
Who quit Parnes stable in disgust because of the exploitation of Eddie Cochrans death?
