A Good Thing Goin'! (Girl Group Sounds USA 1962-1967)

Released in 2024 by Ace Records, A Good Thing Goin'! (Girl Group Sounds USA 1962-1967) serves as a meticulously curated compilation exploring the regional and independent output of the girl group era. This collection focuses on the lesser-known gems of the early sixties, highlighting the intersection of R&B, pop, and soul that defined the soundscape of American studios during this period. It continues Ace Records' long-standing tradition of archival research and high-fidelity restoration, aimed at both historians of the genre and contemporary enthusiasts looking to move beyond the well-trodden hits of the major labels.

The design and packaging follow the label's established aesthetic for its 'Girl Group' series, emphasizing contextual liner notes and rare archival photography to frame the musical selections. By grouping these tracks together, the compilers intend to illustrate the broad reach of the 'Wall of Sound' influence and the creative ingenuity of independent producers working outside of the major industry hubs. The collection has been received as a scholarly yet accessible entry in the label's extensive catalog, appreciated for its dedication to preserving the voices of artists who might otherwise be lost to obscurity.
