Description
Back in the late 50s/early 60s, many rock 'n' roll/pop records were notoriously short on playing time, often clocking in at two minutes or less. The shortest UK No.1 was 'What Do You Want, by Adam Faith (in 1959), at one minute thirty-eight seconds.
These compilations, inspired by a suggestion from deejay Bernie "Rock'n'roll Heaven" Keith, each feature three-and-a-half dozen "Sub-Two Minute Wonders"; i.e. forty-two killer tracks which get the business done in two minutes or less.
You've got a bit of everything here; hits, misses, some that got away, B-sides, odd EP and/or LP tracks - but I'll bet none of you realised some of these were "quickies", until now!
Featured artists include Billy Fury, Cliff Richard, The Shadows, Marty Wilde, Joe Brown, Adam Faith, Johnny Kidd & The Pirates, Lord Rockingham's XI, Jimmy Justice, The Krew Kats, Helen Shapiro, John Leyton, Emile Ford & The Checkmates, and many more.
