Hair Hoppers

Basement Beehive: The Girl Group Underground is a two-disc set showcasing 56 songs recorded all across America during the pre-psychedelic 60s.  Rather than the usual novelty heavy offerings of many girl group releases, the content here delivers strong songs sung by powerful voices.  The result is an impressive slice that covers the breadth of the girl group sound, a very strong compilation that stacks as high as a beehive bouffant.
