Great British Instrumentals of the '50s & '60s

PRODUKTBESCHREIBUNGEN
Bevor die Beatles die Beat-Revolution lostraten, war die englische Musikszene durchsetzt von Bands, die hausgemachte Instrumentalmusik machten. Das goldene Zeitalter von Instrumentalhits verschwand aber genauso schnell, wie es gekommen war Grund genug eine 3CD aufzulegen, die diesem Hype Tribut zollt. Songs wie Telstar, F.B.I. und Sleepwalk, oder auch At The Sign Of The Swingin Cymbal von Brian Fahey & his Orchestra zeugen von Qualität und Geschmack. *** Before the Beatles ushered in the beat revolution, the British pop scene reverberated to a tidal wave of home-grown instrumental music. However the golden age of the instrumental was destined to wither as quickly as it had bloomed, yet British rock owed much to its wordless past. This excellent 3 disc compilation includes tracks such as Telstar, F.B.I. and Sleepwalk and aptly plays out with "At The Sign Of The Swingin' Cymbal by Brian Fahey & his Orchestra, the original 1960 version of the 'chart rundown' tune for BBC Radio's Pick Of The Pops. If you've got that far, we guarantee you've enjoyed 60 of the greatest instrumentals British popular music has to offer!
