Various - The Laurie Records Story Volume Three: Girls and Girl Groups

who remembers ace's impact logo. it was back in the pre-cd era that they launched impact with the album 'stop, look & listen', an all-female 16-tracker drawn from the catalogue of laurie records and its off-shoot rust. 24 years having gone by since then, they figured a cd version of that much-discussed lp was long overdue. the revamped result is a must-have for girl group fans and laurie collectors alike. taking great care not to duplicate titles that are available elsewhere on ace, the title song is one of a handful of inclusions by top girl group the chiffons, queens of the doo-lang. cult favourites the del-rons are represented with their debut single, while their lead singer reparata offers up her solo contribution to the death disc genre. in-demand session singer bernadette carroll should have been a star. hear her two tracks to understand why.
