The Chordettes were one of the most successful female groups of the vintage era. After their selection, in 1949, for the Arthur Godfrey talent program, they recorded a series of albums, first for Columbia, and then for Cadence. The Fabulous Chordettes is a selection from this later period '54-'61, and includes their first big hit, Mr. Sandman,, Lollipops, Just Between You And Me, and nine others accompanied, but reticently. Their vocal style and arrangements, though not strictly vertical, were definitely influenced by barbershop theory. Many of the cuts are mono the digital master was transferred from the original analog recordings.
