EVERLY BORTHERS "purely" cd, 2011

i wasnt sure where to put this one..."soft rock","pop" or here in "classic rock"...obviously, this thread won the indecisive mind of mind!
a two disc forty track compilation from their early years in 1956 through to around 1961(pre 'ebony eyes'/'wlak right back')...
this disc contains all the UK singles through to then plus all the 'b-sides' and 'ep' tracks, so i guess it is a complete anthology of their first five years...
i dont think there were far better pop artists at the same time as these guys...except probably Rick Nelson IMO but these guys win hands down with
their superb harmonies...up there with Finn Borthers and S&G IMO....
and it pretty hard to knock the string of singles that have become classics also...
although a lot of the tracks here arent 'love' tracks for me, they are still very very good, and few songs by anyone from that period can match "wake up little suzie" and
"cathy's clown" which is 1950s pop perfection from these two brothers from bowling Green in Kentucky's south...
