How To Buy...The Brill Building!

By 1962, the Brill Building at 1619 Broadway housed 165 different music companies. There, and in similar music hothouses nearby, were such songwriting titans as Leiber and Stoller, Bacharach and David, Goffin and King, Pomus and Shuman, Mann and Weil, Boyce and Hart, all having their mighty works interpreted by singers including The Drifters, Dionne Warwick, The Cookies and more.

Truly, theirs was a golden age of pop, and we want you to tell us the best way of immersing in it on CD. Transposing the era of the seven-inch single into compilations makes this a different kind of How To Buy than the usual run down of best LPs, true, but we know you're up to it.

Please let us know your thoughts - as ever, the best comments and recommendations will appear in the magazine. Cheers!
