VA - HARD TO FIND 45's ON CD

VA - Hard To Find 45s On CD Vol. 01 - 19 [1996 - 2017] (19 CD's)

The whole series is great. Hard To Find 45's is a collector's dream from the Eric Label. Those of us who are completists, working on musical projects or just fans find out very quickly that most CD collections have the same songs, more or less, the big hits of whatever decade. How many times did I buy a collection that had one song I wanted and fourteen I already had. Another trick was to buy a one hit wonder's Greatest Hits CD, and though some are interesting, others had little to offer besides that one hit. And even in these days of buying MP3 versions of individual songs, there are still many songs unavailable that way, especially when you go back to the Fifties and Early Sixties, which is the general territory of Eric. A British label, Ace, is similar but they rarely venture post British Invasion whereas Eric has even done some 70's and 80's material.  You can be confident with this label. It's the kind of label where the people involved love the music, know their stuff and are dedicated to getting it right. You'll find only original masters here, engineered by people who know how it should sound, and highly informative booklets that discuss every track. The licensing of the songs only lasts so long so get them now. Once before most fell out of print and were selling for around $100.00 (Amazon)

This series, Hard To Find 45's On CD, continues to grow into 19 great volumes. Eric Records’ states its #1 goal is to preserve for future generations specially selected pop music gems in the highest possible quality before the original hit sources are lost to time and decay. No other label puts as much care and effort into providing the correct versions of the original hit singles you remember, remastered for remarkable clarity. These are Time Capsules from Years gone By. Enjoy!
