Our Take

Step aside, Top 40 singles - we're diving into the lesser-known, underappreciated gems of the 1955 British Hit Parade with "The B Sides Part 1". This compilation is a treasure trove of quirky tunes and hidden gems that will transport you back to the golden era of rock 'n' roll.

From the jiving rhythms of Lonnie Donegan's "Lost John" to the sultry crooning of Ruby Murray on "Softly, Softly", this album is a delightful mix of rockabilly, doo-wop, and everything in between. The artists may not have been chart-toppers, but their B-sides are a testament to their talent and creativity.

One standout track is Alma Cogan's "Love and Devotion", a charming love ballad that showcases her crystal-clear vocals and undeniable charm. It's a shame this song was relegated to the B-side, as it deserves to be front and center in any music lover's collection.

Overall, "The B Sides Part 1" is a delightful journey through the overlooked side of the 1955 British Hit Parade. Whether you're a die-hard fan of the era or just looking to expand your musical horizons, this album is a must-listen. So grab your dancing shoes, pour yourself a cuppa, and let the nostalgia wash over you as you immerse yourself in this retro gem. Cheers to the B-sides!
