Description:

A compilation of the BANG RECORDS label, known for the release of the McCoys' 1965 U.S. #1 hit "Hang on Through Pea," and its subsidiary label, SHOUT Label. The compilation includes rare single versions of McCoys' songs, pop/rock songs by Neil Diamond and Van Morrison, and R&B songs by The Exciters, Freddie Scott, Irma Franklin, etc. Although the songs did not do well on the charts, they are 23 "hidden hits" that are too good to be left buried. A must-listen disc packed with 23 "hidden hits" that didn't do well on the charts, but are too good to be left buried! Commentary: Toru Ueshiba
