Cultural Facts: [33]

1. Jubilee's Doo-Wop Vault Raid: Jubilee Records packed this LP with mid-1950s vocal-group sides from its own catalog and related New York labels, the kind of budget compilation that kept obscure group harmony in drugstores.
2. The Orioles Connect to the Beginning: I Miss You So by the Orioles ties the set back to the late-40s birth of doo-wop. Sonny Til's group was already history by the time Jubilee was recycling the masters onto LPs like this.
3. Jay-Gee Was the Parent: The label rim credits Jay-Gee Record Co., Jubilee's parent company in New York. These comps were cheap to press and became a pipeline that preserved sides collectors still chase as 45s.
