Well, if this is the type of music that 'floats your boat' you could do a lot worse than tune in to Angel Radio were it's played all the time. It's a radio station that specialises in anything recorded pre-1959 with some 60s music (in the "Angel style) also getting air time. If they're not playing what you want to hear then you can always ask for it - there's at least one and sometimes up to three request shows every weekday and on Sunday, too; it's a freephone number (for UK listeners) to make the requests or you can send an email and, unlike many stations, your request will be on air usually within 10 minutes of your call/email.

It's available on VHF (101.1) in the Portsmouth/Havant/Emsworth area, on DAB in West Sussex, Hampshire and the IoW and Dorset and worldwide on the internet via http://www.angelradio.co.uk or http://tunein.com/radio/Angel-Radio-1011-s45400/. Why not give it a try.

The downside? Well, if you tune in at the wrong time you could end up listening to me but nothing in this world is perfect is it? :lol:

What a wonderful find Peter.I looked in vain under the 1962 collection for 'Johnny Angel' by Shelley Faberes because in the way that music can bring back memories , for no particular reason it just brings to mind being taught to drive by my late Dad( yes he's the one to blame!) .Nonetheless , a great collection of memorabilia.Many thanks Peter :thumbsup: Eric
ps The Crewcuts-Sh Boom plus Ruby And The Romantics-Our Day Will Come---magic
pps and what about The Velvelettes-Needle In A Haystack? Ace
I've previously seen some of these on You Tube but it's great to see them all in a collection.
Now at the age where I know I like girls but can't remember why!

I certainly had a major crush on Shelley at age 14!

Obviously I'm younger than you lot, the Shangri-La's are more my cup of Teenage Angst.
