Our Take

For those of us who remember the good old days of hanging out at Woolworths, scouring the aisles for the latest music gems, "The Wonder of Woolworths! The Embassy Records Story 1955-1962" is a nostalgic trip down memory lane. This compilation album, curated by various artists, captures the essence of a bygone era when music was pure, simple, and oh so catchy. Embassy Records may not have been as well-known as some of the bigger labels of the time, but they certainly knew how to pick a tune. From rockabilly to doo-wop to early rock 'n' roll, this album has it all. Each track is a little time capsule, transporting listeners back to a time when music was meant to be fun and carefree. Standout tracks include The Eagles' infectious "Tryin' to Get to You" and Dickie Bishop and His Sidekicks' rollicking "The White Rose of Athens." These songs may not have topped the charts, but they certainly deserve a spot in the spotlight now. The production on this album is top-notch, with each track sounding crisp and clear. The liner notes are informative and entertaining, giving listeners a glimpse into the world of Embassy Records and the artists who called it home. Overall, "The Wonder of Woolworths" is a delightful collection of forgotten gems that will have you tapping your feet and humming along in no time. So grab a copy, turn up the volume, and let the good times roll. Woolworths may be gone, but the music lives on!
