This Love Was Real - LA Vocal Groups 1959-1964 CD

Classic vocal group harmony from the later years of doo wop, featuring previously unheard songs and extensive sleeve notes from LA vocal group expert Steve Propes.
This release explores the later years of Los Angeles’ doo wop scene from sources that have never previously been digitalised from the master tapes.
Made possible by the discovery of some the master tapes of some very rare doo wop recordings in the vaults of Doré, Era, Gary Paxton, Kent Harris and George Motola in particular - most of these great tracks have only previously been heard on badly reproduced bootleg releases.
Three of these tracks have never been heard before in any format.
