Starday & Dixie Rock & Roll Soundalikes


Got very deep into custom pressings and soundalike business in the last few months, so I thought I start a series of rock'n'roll soundalike comps. Every of these versions are very interesting in my opinion and amanzingly many recordings were copied note by note. We start with covers from the Starday/Dixie labels. Starday started their soundalike activities in 1956, releasing several LPs in 1956/1957 and forming the Dixie subsidiary that served as a vehicle for custom pressings, one commercial rock'n'roll series and the soundalike EP series. Have fun!
