(Polyphon) 18 tracks

International Top Hits 1956 is a Polyphon compilation documenting the international music scene of 1956. The CD was released in 1990 under catalogue number 840 705-2 and brings together recordings from the early rock’n’roll, pop and entertainment era. Among the artists represented on the compilation are The Platters and Gogi Grant. The collection therefore offers a musical look back at an important transitional period, when traditional popular music, rhythm and blues and the emerging rock’n’roll sound increasingly came together. FOMO: For collectors of 1950s music history and listeners who enjoy international oldies, International Top Hits 1956 is an appealing addition to a CD collection.
