"THEIR GREATEST MISSES" (60 original tracks that should have been hits)

This compilation consists of tracks that nearly hit the charts but just failed to do so, one could be forgiven for assuming that such a collection would consist entirely of second-rate material. However, this is far from the case here, with tracks from the likes of Elvis Presley, Carole King and Eddie Cochran this collection is proof that the best music is not always the music most people buy.

Hi!

Thanx for this one. Songs could be used in a movie soundtrack to re-create ambiance of an era/time period = NOT everything was Top 40. A la "Mad Men" TV series.

Cheers!
Ciao! For now.

Love stuff like this. Hard to believe the classic "That's Alright" was not a huge hit for The King! Thanks for sharing.
