Not so complete...

"While nothing from these 50s-era sisters is available on CD, calling this "complete" is not accurate by any means. While this piece does contain, supposedly, all the released Columbia/Epic material, none of the work done for other record companies is included. And since one of the DeJohn Sisters' top 100 chart entries was on one of these other labels, this collection can not be considered "complete". That issue aside, listening to this pair may make you think you're hearing the McGuire Sisters or the Chordettes if you didn't know who the artists were. While their only major chart record (No More) may be the only tune identifiable as being theirs, the remainder of the songs are palatable - catchy upbeat tunes for the most part. In spite of the vintage of these recordings, they have survived quite well overall and as a product of Sony Special Products, the sound quality is fairly good. Being all pre-57 recordings, the entire CD is in mono. So, although hardly complete as the title would lead one to think, this is a reasonably decent effort by Collectables."
