Deluxe gatefold double LP with heavy-duty sleeve.
Highly recommended.

It's all here - the high hairdos, the dreams and schemes, the tender camp, the wedding bell fantasias and chaste tragedies. Sister acts, studio receptionists, classmates, angelic voices of the 1960s; some legendary, many hidden in the basement of expired rainbows. Gathered on this deluxe double LP are 28 foiled escape attempts, now free to soar in girl group heaven.

Basement Beehive is the product of a dream Numero had years ago. Feverish from Rhino’s excellent One Kiss Can Lead To Another box, they started making piles of girl group tracks that were mere whispers in the collector abyss. It started out as a Sweet 16 45 box shaped like a birthday cake (replete with a carton of Numero-branded candles). Then it was a series of regional surveys. Finally they boiled it down to a kick-ass mix tape of 28 crucial tracks. That process took four years. The world has fallen apart in less time.

From the work started on Basement Beehive a dozen other projects have come into focus as well, all collecting the complete output of wildly obscure girl groups, available for your streaming pleasure, and perhaps someday on a physical format. You never know. The important thing is that they found these groups and are telling their stories for the first time.
