Obscure American Artists 1956-1963 (discogs) CB Looking Ahead & MV Hit Records 1959-1963

The turn of the 1950s and 1960s was a breaking point in the history of pop music, golden age of rockabilly, teen pop and doo wop. In 1959, Billboard BU has been launched and extended the number of chart entries, Cash Box, Music Vendor and Regional Charts (Gavin, Breakout, Territorial) added many other entries. Nevertheless, many “good” Artists from American music scene didn’t enter any chart and they are worth to be saved from obscurity. Discographies of Artists that recorded between 1956 (beginning of RnR) and 1963 (year preceding British Invasion) one/few singles*, create Parts divided into five categories

·         Rock(abilly) and C&W
·         Instrumental
·        Black Doo-Wop
·        Teen Sound (see below)
·        Popcorn (see below)

and denoted as Xnn:  X=,R,Q,V,T,P. For many Artists, categorization is fuzzy!!!
* If discography spans beyond this period, then selected earlier/later recordings can be taken into account as suplement

Popcorn category has been extracted. This style, established in Belgium in the 1970s,  includes a wide variety of American obscure Blues, Soul and Trad. Pop recorded in the late 1950s and early 1960s.

Singles of obscure Artists are hard to find. Missing available on Internet Marketplace below, Seller in the right column:

 Missing updated - date in the top row

Sound quality is essential = digital rips only*

Having a pleasure in listening obscure records in good sound quality is more important than collecting poor rips. Sound quality of majority of YouTube rips also many tracks from CD compilations is very poor and such copies are disregarded. Making a good rip is very simple, modern (produced in the XXI century) turntable and Audacity (freeware) is all that you need. I have prepared  Vinyl-to-PC (Tutorial) - please follow the guidelines.

* every single track is professionally remastered - see Project Description

Each discography has been carefully researched, booklets with biographies are attached. Primary references: Discogs, 45cat and

Teen Collectors Record Guide 

(A-J, link to complete book in Excel below)

This Guide lists singles from Kreiter’s collection and can’t be considered as  a database of Teen Sound discographies, rather as a comprehensive list of Teen Sound Artists. 

Numerous errors have been rectified, omissions added (denoted by K’).

Kreiter's Preface: 

"Before 1956 the Teen Sound and even Rock and  Roll were practically non-existent. Shortly after the British Invasion, in 1964 the Teen Sound was gone.”

Therefore, recordings made after 1963 are taken into account only exceptionally. Other exclusions:

1. Non-American Artists (UK, Canada, Australia, etc.)

2. Popular Artists who entered chart(s) and/or recorded many singles.

Some Popular Aartists are included - only recordings made for label(s) listed in Kreiter.

 3. Rare Artists not confirmed on Discogs/45cat and/or records with release year not confirmed

4. Budget labels

 5. Generally, Artists classified to teen pop, rock, girl groups and white doo-wop are included.

The line between these genres and other genres (country, soul, blues, trad. pop) is fuzzy.

Some artist, who evidently belong to these other genres, are included - genre in Remarks

Please read carefuly the below Project Description

Obscure American Artists project has been launched to create a library of music recorded by forgotten artists, from 1956 to 1963. To

save obscure artists 1956-63 from oblivion,

in another words. Their recordings are available only on original 45’s. This project is profit free project, created by passionate collectors of old music who decided to contribute their collections. I’m the main contributor, list of 45’s in my collection below,

My collection of 45's updated 10.07.25 (new additions at the bottom)

I would like to thank all contributors of rips from original 45’s: Frank, Roy, Darrell, Gyro, Russ and many others sharing rips with John, who shares next with me. There is also a group of contributors who do not have their own collection of 45’s and shared individual tracks found on the Internet. I would like to say thank you for help so far, please only rips from original 45’s in the future. Occasionally, very good YouTube copies are used, each is professionally remastered. Overall, big thank you to all YouTubers who post good rips of rare 45's 1956-1963, from own collection.

If you want to share music downloaded in this project, then same copyrights as copyrights to legally issued CDs with rare music older than 60 years*, can be applied:

1.            the sound recording copyright (ripping and remastering technique)

2.            research on artist discographies and acquisition of original material

3.            thematic concept, booklet with artist bios.

Non-Bill... Hit Records

* On February 23, 1959, Music Vendor magazine introduced “Beat Of The Week - Heading For The Top 100” chart (5-35 entries). This was 15 weeks prior to Billboard introducing its “Bubbling Under” chart. In September of 1962, Music Vendor’s "Heading  For The Top 100" chart grew to 50 positions and changed its name to “Looking Up”. In April of 1964**, Music Vendor became Record World and this chart was retitled “Singles Coming Up”.
