-It's not just about Easter eggs and chocolate bunnies here - the music selection is correspondingly varied, ranging from easy listening and pop to country music and blues to jazz, doo-wop and rock'n'roll. -Well-known artists such as Sarah Vaughan, Bing Crosby, Chubby Checker or Pat Boone meet here with little-known artists and rare recordings, some of which appear on CD for the first time, including a shellac record by the British New Concert Orchestra - in brilliant sound quality! -We have selected the title song and the main melody from the feature film 'April Love' by the Lionel Newman Orchestra. -The Easter Bunny hops sometimes to Country Music (Jimmy Wakely, Speedy West & Jimmy Bryant a.o.), sometimes to Jazz (Ernie Freeman, Johnny Hodges a.o.) and Rock 'n' Roll with Frankie Lymon, Tex Harper, Chuck Higgins and many more. -Lovers of R&B and doo-wop will also get their money's worth: The Tri-Tones, Billy Bland, Don & Juan and others. -The full-color booklet includes rare photos and memorabilia, as well as liner notes for each track, written by Marc Mittelacher. While in Europe the Easter promenade - luckily in the spring sun - is a tradition, in the cities of North America people meet after the church mass on Easter Sunday for the traditional Easter Parade. Legendary composer Irving Berlin wrote the music for the Hollywood classic 'Easter Parade' starring Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers. The title song can be heard here in the interpretation of Sarah Vaughan & Billy Eckstine! Egbert The Easter Egg is a rare recording that was put on for children at the time and became a classic, heard here in the version performed by Betty Clooney (sister of Rosemary Clooney and aunt of George Clooney). From the then 7-year-old British Beverley Bunt you can hear My Choc'late Rabbit, a rare recording as well as that of her compatriots Rex and The Minors with their Triumph single or the two sides of an extremely rare shellac disc by the British Frederic Curzon.
