Our Take

Ah, the year 1961, a time of beehive hairdos, poodle skirts, and some seriously groovy B-sides. The Various Artists 1961 British Hit Parade - The B-Sides album takes us on a journey through the forgotten gems of yesteryear, showcasing some truly underrated tracks from the golden age of music.

From the jangly guitars of The Shadows to the smooth crooning of Adam Faith, this compilation is a veritable treasure trove of British musical talent. Each track offers a glimpse into the musical landscape of 1961, painting a vivid picture of a time when music was king and B-sides were where the real magic happened.

Standout tracks include the infectious "Walkin' Back to Happiness" by Helen Shapiro, the haunting "Johnny Remember Me" by John Leyton, and the toe-tapping "Runaway" by Del Shannon. These songs may have been relegated to the flip side of the record, but they pack just as much punch as their A-side counterparts.

Overall, the Various Artists 1961 British Hit Parade - The B-Sides album is a delightful trip down memory lane, full of hidden treasures just waiting to be discovered. So pop on your dancing shoes, crank up the volume, and let the music of 1961 transport you to a time when B-sides ruled the airwaves. You won't be disappointed.
