[2020-05-29] Various Artists "Don't Blow Your Cool! More 60s Girls From UK Decca" (Ace UK)

Description
With our vinyl compilation “Girl Zone” in 1986, Ace Records became the first reissue company to plunder Decca Records’ 1960s female catalogue. No-one really knew whether there was a demand, so it was something of a gamble. Happily, reaction was positive and the album sold well. Fast forward 30 years, and our similarly themed “Love Hit Me!” collection became one of our top-selling releases of 2016. Having established that there’s still a demand, we now present “Don’t Blow Your Cool!”, our latest sumptuously packaged all-female Decca anthology.

Along with a hand-picked selection of proven fan favourites, with the more avid of collectors in mind, the compilation includes ultra-rare French language versions of ‘Summer Nights’ by Marianne Faithfull and ‘You Just Gotta Know My Mind’ by Dana Gillespie, plus other new-to-CD tracks by visiting American Joy Marshall, folk-rocker Beverley, Marvettes lead singer Margo, much-loved girl group the Orchids and, with her ‘Goldfinger’-style theme from cult favourite TV series Adam Adamant Lives, lip-gloss queen Kathy Kirby.

Compilation and notes by girl-pop buffs Mick Patrick and Ian Chapman (just like back in 1986).
