The final volume in this long-running compilation series of girl group treasures from the USA. Highlights include ‘Hot Spot’ by Philly girl group the Bronzettes, a dancefloor-friendly gem produced by Chubby Checker; ‘Nothing Can Go Wrong’ by Los Angeles’ the Beas, a jangly nugget that sounds like the Bangles many years ahead of their time; ‘Big House’, a Spector-style opus by the Carolines of New York, and the previously unissued ‘Top Twenty’ by the Delicates. The collection comes with a picture-packed 24-page booklet featuring in-depth notes by Ace’s in-house girl group buff Mick Patrick.
