Two CD anthology of releases from the Red Bird Records label. Founded in 1964 by songwriters Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller, Red Bird Records may only have been operational for three years but during that time the label became synonymous with the '60s girl group sound, particularly due to the success of the Shangri-Las and the Dixie Cups - both of whom scored #1 hits for Red Bird in it's fledgling year. This deluxe double disc set draws together the best of Red Bird along with tracks from it's Blue Cat Soul/R&B subsidiary and material from the short-lived Tiger and Daisy affiliates. Carefully compiled and annotated by Roger Dopson, this compilation is a worthy successor to previous volumes incorporating lesser-heard gems alongside the major hits.
