NINA & FREDERIKSippin' Cider with Nina & Frederik - A Second Collection
Although Nina & Frederik achieved a modicum of
success on the British singles charts, scoring five hits over a two year period
beginning in December 1959, it is less well remembered that they also achieved
significantly in that 'Cinderella' format of the record business, the Extended
Play 45 rpm disc, better known simply as the EP. Whilst the typically four-track
EP format had never found much favour in the U.S.A., it flourished in Britain
and other parts of Europe from the mid-1950s well into the 1960s. Affluence
explains the difference, post-war prosperity across the Atlantic meaning that
Americans could cheerfully afford to buy a 'Long Play' disc of their favourite
artists and eschew the intermediate EP. Back in Europe, things were different:
post-war prosperity took a lot longer to achieve and to ordinary people the
standard single-play records were expensive, let alone LPs.
