All of these singers and songs made pop history in the United Kingdom and around the world: Billy Fury with “Halfway to Paradise”, Adam Faith with “Poor Me”, Marty Wilde with “Bad Boy”, Tommy Steele with “Elevator Rock”, Helen Shapiro with "Walkin' Back to Happiness", Alma Cogan with "I Love to Sing", Laurie London with "He's Got the World in His Hands", Russ Conway with "Side Saddle", Bert Weedon with "The Varsity Drag", The Tornados with "Telstar", John Leyton with "Johnny Remember Me", Shirley Bassey with "Kiss Me Honey, Honey Kiss Me" and last but not least Tony Sheridan & The Beat Brothers (aka The Beatles) with" My Bonnie". Of course, the hits mentioned here (and many more) can be found in this unique box-set. This treasure chest is filled up with a number of bonus titles, which were also almost invariably in the charts.
