| Description: | â?˘ Hochwertiges 4-CD-Set mit fast allen Billboard Top 100 Charts der Woche vom 22. Dezember 1962.
� Eine Ergänzung zu Acrobates beliebter America's Greatest Hits-Serie und ein Begleiter zu unseren bisherigen Top 100 und Hot 100 Kollektionen!
â?˘ Feiert das bahnbrechende internationale Ereignis im Jahr 1962 mit dem Start des ersten Telekommunikationssatelliten Telstar und dem weltweiten Nummer-1-Hit der Tornados, den er inspirierte.
â?˘ Ein faszinierender musikalischer Schnappschuss aus dieser Zeit, der die vielen Sammler unserer Top 100 und Amerikas Greatest Hits-Serie ansprechen wird. - .. DECEMBER 22ND 1962As adjuncts to our highly popular "America's Greatest Hits" series of collections for each calendar year in the 50s and early '60s, we have already produced collections based on landmark moments in the Billboard charts - "The First Top 100 Nov. 1955" (ACQCD7062), "The First Hot 100 Aug. 1958" (ACQCD7083), "The First Hot 100 of the '60s" (ACQCD7097), "The 'Heartbreak Hotel' Top 100" (ACQCD7122)and "The Day The Music Died - Feb 3rd 1959 Hot 100" (ACQCD7134) each comprising all the records in the Top 100 for the date in question. This collection celebrates a landmark event of 1962, the launching of the first telecommunications satellite Telstar on July 10th, a multinational project involving the USA, UK and France, which revolutionised transatlantic TV broadcasting as well as telephone and other communications, and helped bring the world closer together. Within weeks the event had inspired the British band The Tornados to record Joe Meek's iconic instrumental composition and production " "Telstar" which made No. 1 in the UK in September and stayed there for five weeks. It entered the US Hot 100 while it was at No. 1 in the UK, and rose to make No. 1 in Christmas week. This collection comprises just about all the records in the Billboard Hot 100 of that week (a couple of records are unavailable for copyright reasons) and it provides a fascinating and evocative snapshot of the music scene at the end of an important and optimistic year. It's a window onto a dynamic and exciting musical environment, and includes a number of unfamiliar names and recordings of which even pop enthusiasts may not be too aware, and which will be welcome additions to their collections. It contains a 12,000+ word booklet featuring background notes on every record.Track Timing are not on CDs or Artwork. Timing retrieved from iTunes Database."The 'Telstar' Hot 100 December 22nd 1962" on CD is a carefully curated time capsule capturing the sound of the US charts at the very end of 1962, centered around the era-defining instrumental hit "Telstar". This compilation by Various Artists brings together a wide cross-section of early-60s popular music: atmospheric instrumentals, orchestral pop, doo-wop, early soul, teen idols, girl groups, and the last wave of pre-Beatles rock 'n' roll. The focus is on authenticity and chart relevance: the track selection mirrors what listeners would have heard on American radio in December 1962, providing both nostalgia for those who lived through the era and a rich historical snapshot for new listeners. Stylistically, the CD offers great variety: sweeping string arrangements sit alongside twangy guitars, vocal harmonies, and rhythm & blues influences that hint at the coming changes in pop and rock. The sound quality is typically restored from the best available sources for an enjoyable, coherent listening experience that plays well both as background music and as a focused journey through a specific chart week. As a mixed-artist release, the strength of this CD lies in its breadth of styles and moods, painting a vivid picture of mainstream taste just before the British Invasion reshaped the charts.
