"Manufacturer of the various artist AMERICAN JUKEBOX CLASSICS series, STERLING GOLD is headquartered in Pittsburgh, PA.
The theme of Volume #1 is "Love Hurts." Genres in this mixed bag include doo-wop, r&r, soul, pop and Top 40 rock. STERLING claims that, "All tracks have been digitally remastered to reflect a special mood" (whatever THAT means!). They sound good, anyway....
Tracks are full-length original recordings. A four page insert offers little beyond song and artist list. The majority of these dubs are monaural, including some widely available in stereo.
Other titles in this "JUKEBOX" series:
VOL. 2 - Feeling Good and Having Fun
VOL. 3 - Music For Young Lovers
VOL. 4 - Dancing To The Jukebox
VOL. 5 - Girl Talk
VOL. 6 - Instrumental Classics
VOL. 7 - Dance Craze Days
VOL. 8 - Fun In The Summertime
VOL. 9 - Heartaches In Harmony
VOL. 10 - Rhythm & Blues
