Our Take

Upon spinning the second part of the British Hit Parade 1955 compilation, one word springs to mind: nostalgia. This collection of tracks will transport you straight back to the glory days of the 50s when Brylcreem ruled and rock 'n' roll was king. From the infectious pop stylings of Alma Cogan to the smooth crooning of Ronnie Hilton, this album is a time capsule of the UK's musical landscape in the mid-50s.

The album kicks off with the unmistakable strains of Slim Whitman's "Rose Marie", a classic tune that still manages to tug at the heartstrings. As the album progresses, we are treated to a mix of toe-tapping rockabilly numbers and swoon-worthy ballads that showcase the diversity of the British music scene at the time.

One standout track is The Beverley Sisters' "I Dreamed", a hauntingly beautiful song that showcases the trio's impeccable vocal harmonies. The infectious energy of Tommy Steele's "Singing the Blues" is sure to have you bopping along in your seat, while Ted Heath and His Music's jazzy rendition of "The Moonglow" will transport you to a smoky, dimly lit jazz club.

Overall, the British Hit Parade 1955 Part 2 is a delightful journey through the musical landscape of the mid-50s. Whether you're a die-hard fan of 50s music or just looking to expand your musical horizons, this album is a must-listen. So grab your poodle skirt and saddle shoes, sit back, and let the music transport you back to a simpler time. This compilation gets a solid 8/10 from this music aficionado.
