Recently arrived reissues from thee original Rock n Roll era!
Clockwise from top left:
The Chantels: We are the Chantels
* features the original title and oddly controversial album cover.
In 1957, the Chantels recorded their massive hit "Maybe" which immediately infiltrated the white dominated pop charts as a superior slab of the popular teenage heartbreak craze. The group would unwittingly cause uproar once parents began seeing five young black women on the cover of their first LP released just a year later in 1958. Consequently, subsequent pressings were simply titled "The Chantels," and featured a white teenage couple on the cover. Thanks to Rumble records, we have a proper reissue of one of the all time great girl-group albums, up there with the Ronettes and the Shangri-la's. Get it!
