Various Artists - Banana Split For My Baby: 33 Rockin' Tracks From the Good Old (CD)

Summer time is party timeThat was our focus when compiling this CD. Whether the party takes place at the pool, on the beach, in your own garden or at the lake. An exuberant summer party in the warmth of the sun or on a warm summer night is now musically supported. Music for dancing and dreaming and simply for having a good time. Cool music for the hot season!Summer - The nostalgic sound of a seasonA great listening pleasure is guaranteed. Very rare titles alternate with nostalgic summer hits. Real summer hits are Ritchie Valens with La Bamba and Dean Martin and the Italian flair on Volare. In addition, Bobby Darin with Splish Splash, actually a bathtub party, which can easily be transferred to a pool party. There is also a lot for collectors to discover! Rare titles with The Picknicks from Belgium, The Crescendos with Susan Lim from Singapore, a rather unknown version of Sh' Boom (Life Could Be A Dream) by the Dories, a rarity on MGM by Ronnie Isle - and some more. Of course the title song Banana Split For My Baby by Louis Prima should not be missing! Make a barbecue and play this CD! Of course there are also remarks to every single song, as well as many illustrations in the booklet!
