Madeline Bell

title:: Bell's a Poppin'

Madeline Bell's first album, Bell's a Poppin', was a much more consistent album than her second album, Doin' Things, thanks mainly to the song selection and the fact that she used only Johnny Franz as producer.

This RPM reissue of Bell's a Poppin' also includes every single and its b-side (but one) released prior to the Bell's a Poppin' album was released.
