Synopsis

Album Description

Full Title - Dot's Cover to Cover...Hit Upon Hit. The perceived wisdom regarding Dot Records is that the company built its business by getting clean living, well-scrubbed white performers to cover & capitalize on predominantly black R&B hits of the day. This release features 30 covers (& hits) by The Fontane Sisters, Pat Boone, Jim Lowe, Snooky Lanson, The Hilltoppers, Gale Storm, & many more. Ace. 1995.

CD Reviews

Great CD---Mills Brothers song/wrong master!!!!

Bill Busse | Fairmont, MN United States | 02/19/2007

(5 out of 5 stars)

"I love this CD. I had most of the 45s as a 'teen'. I'm very disappointed however in the unfinished master used for GET A JOB by the Mills Brothers. There is no lead vocal on the verses. I dug out the 45 to compare, as the first time I heard the CD I thought something was missing.

How do we get ACE to fix this? Is every CD transfer of GET A JOB this same unfinished master? I'm afraid to order any other cds with it included unless I can listen to a sample."
