The Velvet Candles come from Spain and are Mamen Salvador, Agusti Burriel and Eduardo Peregrin. Backed by a solid band they play late 50's/early 60's white/italo doo-wop.

This is the debut album for this British band, but Phil (Tennessee Rhythm Riders) and Mark (The Ricardo's) are now well known characters on the scene, and brothers Gordon and Dave Doel were in the Young Savages. With a sound as authentic as you can g...

The result is a solid and versatile set of dancing numbers, some very well known and others a little bit more obscure. There's a majority of jump/rhythm'n'blue...

Now going under the sole name of Junior Marvel the artist also known on his ID card as Frank Marques delivers a fine blend of Elvis influenced Rockabilly and Rock'n'Roll.
"Mess Around" sounds like an unissued take of the King circa 1956.
