Acrobat has now released several packages in The Road To Doo Wop series and here is our first compilation to actually arrive at the Doo Wop era, hence the title. Featured here are 25 titles from the early 50”s to early 60”s recorded for several independent labels mostly based in New York. Rarities and hits rub shoulders from legendary acts like The Harptones and The Willows. Amongst the rarities is the first CD release for The Impressions Swirl 45. This group does not feature Curtis Mayfield and the extensive liner notes explain its origins. Full biographical and discographical info is contained in the CD booklet.
