VA - Be Nice To Him Mama: More Early Brit Girls (2023)

Like its predecessor, 'Tell Him, Popcorn Brit Girls 1960-62' (JASCD861), this 68-track, 2-CD set takes a look at the UK's favourite female singers in the pre-Beatles era.
It once again features 'usual suspects' like Helen Shapiro, Susan Maughan, Julie Grant, Carol Deene, The Vernons Girls (who sing the title track), Maureen Evans, Kathy Kirby, Anita Harris, Jackie Trent, Lynn Cornell, Glenda Collins, etc., not forgetting Dusty, when she was a Springfield. Juxtaposed against newcomers like Grazina, Candy Sparling, Simone Jackson, Christine Quaite, Susan Singer, Patsy Ann Noble, Patti Lynn, Suzy Cope, Jackie Frisco, Cherry Roland, Jan & Kelly, etc. Also, members of the established 'old guard', Alma Cogan, The Beverley Sisters, Petula Clark, Marion Ryan, Lita Roza, Cleo Laine, Jackie Lee, Ruby Murray, Pat Reader, Lorne Lesley, Ottilie Patterson, etc. This is another superb collection of hits and collectors' rarities, many of the latter appearing here for the first time on CD.
