Description
This 62 track collection features in chronological order all the 45s that Billy Fury released from 1959 to his last Decca release in 1966.
Originally from Liverpool, a young Ronald Wycherley grabbed his chance on a Larry Parnes show (who soon rechristened him).
Fury was unique amongst British rockers of the time in that, unlike Cliff Richard, he wrote a lot of his own material.
Always a fantastic and popular live performer, Fury's chart career took off when he covered Tony Orlando's 'Halfway To Paradise'; he then went on a run of several UK Top 5 hits.
It was only the emergence of fellow Liverpudlians The Beatles that gradually brought his big hits to an end.
Always plagued with poor health, Fury died in 1983 aged just 43.
Digitally remastered, slipcased and with new notes.
