Long requested by record industry pundits and collectors alike, the biggest nostalgia mail order catalogue has finally listened to its fans down under and created an Australian catalogue for these shores only. The Sydney offices have already had to cope with a higher than expected demand for nostalgia. Music & Memories, the marketing arm of The Good Music Record Company, has arrived in Australia with its own special brand of pop nostalgia. These days it’s considered lucky for an artist to remain in the charts for more than five weeks. This company specialises in the artists who have stayed at the forefront of popular culture for over five decades! “The golden age of popular music was back in the 40s, 50s and 60s,” says managing director Ed Shanaphy. “They just don’t write songs like that today. More and more, the kids and parents of today are looking back to see what was there…or are looking for something wonderful they remember from the days when the Tin Pan Alley writers were at their peak.” With the artists on its compilations ranging from Deanna Durbin and Richard Tauber to Jim Reeves, this high profile record company has been operating in the USA for over 25 years and in the UK for over ten. Music & Memories has close relations with all the major record labels around the world and because of that “we can compile across labels bringing tracks from various record companies into one collection” says Shanaphy, “making the collection truly historic and exclusive”. The newest compilation, ‘The Unforgettable 50s’, brings together five major record labels in one giant collection of 40 songs. To cap it all, Music & Memories is not just good music…it’s also outstanding video! From the comic Victor Borge to those black and white cinema classics we all recall fondly, the Music & Memories catalogue has an abundance of wonderful, hard to find titles for either the serious collector or average lover of good, home entertainment. This savvy company has met many customer requests over the years, from compiling the only authorised Arthur “The Street Singer” Tracy compilation to finding the original Hitchcock films and promoting them once again. Call the order line to get on their mailing list early, for this company’s launch is surely going to be a sell out!
