Heavy On Doo Wop, Vol. 1 |
● CD $17.98 |
Another collection of doo-wop rarities from the 50s and
early 60s. Most of the material is fairly pedestrian and the sound
quality is very poor - sounds like a poor quality cassette player played
behind a curtain. I know that these sides were often recorded in
inferior studios and particularly rare records are often only found in
poor condition but with some effort expended in remastering one can
achieve a lot better than is accomplished here. Includes sides by Curtis
Ware and The Four Do-Matics, The Dials, the Marksmen, Royal Demons, Note
Makers, Alton & Eddy and others. Only for the most die-hard of
die-hard doo wop fans.

Vol. 1 |
● CD $17.98 |
25 tracks, 60 min., recommended This new German label gets off to an auspicious start with a particularly
strong pair of various artist discs. As the title indicates, the program
is a mix of rare tracks and previously unreleased numbers, some demos.
Highlights include Whenever I Get Lonely by the Contenders, The
Way You Look Tonight by the Lonely Guys, More and More by the
Love Larks, Never Let You Go by the Poets, the original demo of Twinkle
Little Star by the Elegants (a bit slower, a cappella, and great), I
Often Wonder by the Academics, Mr. Echo by the 4 Deans, Pretty
Girl by the Golden Bells, and Are You an Angel by the El
Venos. A fine mix of white and black doo-wop, laid down between 1957 and
1963, presented here with several nice group photos but no notes. (DH)

24 tracks, 57 min., recommended Volume two in this new
imported series matches volume one in quality, diversity, and graphic
style. Tempos again are mixed, as is group ethnicity, and track dates
range from 1957 to 1964. The program opens with This Love Was Real
by the Showcases, Close to Me by the Marquees, Do It By
Moonlight by the Eltones, Remember the Night by the Del
Larks, Girl That I Love by the Academics, Nobody Can Love You
by the Supremes (not the Motown girl group), Do-Re-Mi by Norman
Fox and the Rob Roys, Never Let You Go by the Teenchords, Yum
Yum Yum by the La Salles, Love Express by the Five Thrills,
and Ding Dong Teenage Bells by the Five Secrets. Generally a
solid play list from start to finish. I, for one, hope that City Sounds
keeps up the effort. (DH)

25 tracks, 65 mins, recommended Excellent and diverse
collection of vocal groups who recorded for Coral between 1955 and 1966.
Mostly ballads along with a few up tempo jumpers. Among the highlights
are the sultry Smoke From Your Cigarette by Billy Williams
Quartet, the bluesy up tempo There Goes (A Pretty Girl) from The
Enchanters, My Darling My Sweet by the Bay Bops, the beautiful Don't
Ask Me to Be Lonely by Andy Rose & The Exotics, the rocking and
very weird Guadeamus by the Escorts (are they singing in Latin?),
and Just a Shoulder to Cry On by the Demensions. Sound is
generally excellent. (FS)

The Hy-Tone Record Story |
● CD $17.98 |
Fine collection of doo-wop and gospel recorded for Steve
Samuels' New York based Hy-Tone label in the late 50s and 60s - many making
their first appearance on CD. Includes The Corsairs, Lyrics, Hy Tones,
Little Mack, Georgia Harris, Keith Davis and others. The three gospel cuts
by Doug Williams & The Mell-O-Tones are particularly fine. Like quite a few
recent doo-wop reissues this one shows excessive use of digital noise
reduction on some tracks which results in a weird artificial sound. I think
most collectors would prefer a bit of noise.
