OVERVIEW
With our vinyl compilation “Girl Zone” in 1986, Ace Records became the first reissue company to plunder Decca Records’ 1960s female catalogue. No-one really knew whether there was a demand, so it was something of a gamble. Happily, reaction was positive and the album soldwell. Fast forward 30 years, and our similarly themed “Love Hit Me!” collection became one of our top-selling releases of 2016. Havingestablished that there’s still a demand, we now present “Don’t Blow Your Cool!”, our latest sumptuously packaged all-female Decca anthology.
