Darling, It's Wonderful: Music From the Fifties - Volumes Four and Five


  I was almost done with putting these 50's collections together when I remembered how ubiquitous those advertisements for 50's box sets were on late night tv in the 1980's and 1990's.  I hope my collections are more diverse than those collections (kind of defeats the purpose of making them), but I realized kind of late into making it that Volume Four seems to be significantly heavier on the well known acts than the other volumes.  Anyway, hope the choices aren't too obvious.  Also, in case you were wondering, the artists on the pictures above are Speedy West and Jimmy Bryant (Volume Four) and The Famous Ward Singers (Volume Five)
