LP - NEW/NEW - VARIOUS ARTISTS, Street Corner Icons: the Story of Doo Wop (Acrobat; ACRSLP1725, UK 2026 Reissue, 180g Pastel Mint Vinyl), , Celebrating National Album Day 2026, 'Street Corner Icons: The Story Of Doo Wop' provides an essential survey of the sublime vocal movement that swept American popular music in the 1950s. Across sixteen definitive tracks, this collection documents an era when working-class teenagers transformed raw vocal passion into an enduring cultural legacy. Lacking instruments, young singers relied on the human voice, fusing Black gospel quartet traditions with smooth pop arrangements and rhythmic vocal percussion. This distinct sound - defined by soaring tenor leads, deep bass anchors, and romantic call-and- response harmonies - shattered racial radio barriers and laid the crucial harmonic blueprint for Motown, 1960s girl groups, soul, and modern pop. - 9416043C *** In Stock In Our Crouch End Shop ***RELEASE DATE: 17/10/2026 - PRE-ORDER - This title is available for pre-order and will be sent out to arrive on the release date, which may be subject to change.
