Hits A' Poppin'

Calcutta
Ghost Riders In The Sky
Hits A' Poppin'
216

A record so budget that nowhere on the jacket or record label is the name of the label printed.

One clue might be the name of the studio group (found on the record label): The Promenade Orchestra And Chorus. However, that doesn't mean that this is a "Promenade" label product or the songs were covered by any one session group. The tunes, however, are covers. I pick up albums like this because the cover art can be fun and you never know what treasures are to be found on them.

  3. This is a bit of a surpise, these types of records in the UK are not worth shouting about, seems the US had some good session muscians, it would make a great book actually, the history of the session players.

  4. I've had this album since the early 60s and consider most of the sound-a-likes very good. It is a Synthetic Products album from New Jersey on the Hits A Poppin' label.
