New York Graffiti: 1619-1750 Broadway / Various New York Graffiti: 1619-1750 Broadway / Various CD

Four CD set. Some Americans reference the music of their parents from the late 1950s to mid-1960s as the American Graffiti generation. The term coined by George Lucas in his movie homage to that period and the youth coming of age during that time. And so, RPM uses that reference as it's setting to focus on the records produced by a group of music companies operating in the 'tin pan alley' of New York from the Brill Building at 1619 Broadway and up around the block. A fascinating story emerges surrounding the growth of a group of independent US Publishing Companies, some 28 in number, the oldest of which Broadway Music was founded in 1914, and how by the end of 1968 all had come under the ownership of one, the Edward Kassner Music Company. New York Graffiti is set in the time when the song publishers launched their own in-house record labels. Over half the set is on CD for the first time with three tracks previously unreleased, two more freshly mixed down from multi track tapes. Many very collectable, such as the garage sound of The Barbarians, the early Neil Diamond as Neil & Jack, Northern and early Soul classics including those from Pat Hervey, Roger Pace, Linda Cumbo, Pat Jarvis, Sonny Stiles, The Kampells, Millie Foster, Curtis Knight. This gorgeous box set comprises over 100 tracks and 250 minutes of music. New York Graffiti - a romp through a decade of American Pop history, 1958-1968, following a specific set of Publishers and their record labels who mirrored all the key Pop music movements of that period: doo wop, rock 'n' roll, R&B, early soul, girl group, folk, beat, garage.
