Our Take

If Pitchfork Magazine did indeed transport across the pond, I'd like to think their take on this album would go something like this:

There’s nothing quite like flipping over a record and discovering the hidden gems on the B-side. And with "Various Artists: British Hit Parade 1961 The B Sides Part 2," it's like stumbling upon a treasure trove of musical delights from days gone by.

From the infectious melodies of Cliff Richard to the smooth crooning of Alma Cogan, this compilation offers a fascinating glimpse into the lesser-known tracks of 1961. And while these tunes may not have topped the charts, they certainly pack a punch in terms of charm and nostalgia.

Tracks like Adam Faith’s "Watch Your Step" and Shirley Bassey’s "Kiss Me, Honey Honey, Kiss Me" showcase the diverse range of styles that were popular at the time, while lesser-known artists like Craig Douglas and Eden Kane prove that the British music scene was teeming with talent.

So put on your dancing shoes and prepare to be transported back to a simpler time with "Various Artists: British Hit Parade 1961 The B Sides Part 2." Whether you’re a die-hard fan of the era or just looking to expand your musical horizons, this album is sure to delight and surprise in equal measure. Cheers to the B-sides!
