CD ReviewsWell Chosen Collection of Doo Wop Classics Steve Vrana | Aurora, NE | 01/19/2005 (5 out of 5 stars) "This two-CD collection of doo wop classics from 1954's "Goodnite Sweetheart" through 1963's "Denise" does a first-rate job of hitting most of the highlights of that glorious pre-British Invasion period in American popular music. Essentially what this is is a condensed version of Rhino's superb 1993 101-track THE DOO WOP BOX. [Note: there are seven tracks here that are not found on Rhino's box set, but "Duke of Earl" is the only real gem among them.] Since this collection focuses on the hits, it's no surprise that they include the version of "Little Darlin'" by the Canadian vocal group The Diamonds and not the original recording by the Gladiolas, whose version peaked at No. 41 on the pop charts earlier in the year. But overall, this is an excellent primer and will make an excellent addition to you music library. VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED" A Great Double-Disc Set - But It's Too Short!!! King Richard | Live Oak, Texas United States | 02/20/2005 (5 out of 5 stars) "What a fantastic couple of CDs!!! If you're wondering what doo-wop was all about, this is the CD to buy. If you're looking for something that doesn't feature a lot of filler on it like so many sets of doo-wop songs do, this is the CD to buy. CD one clocks in at 45+ minutes with CD 2 coming in at 47+ minutes. It wouldn't have bothered me if they had included a couple of more genuinely classic songs on there, but hey, I'm not complaining. Listening to these 2 CDs is pure enjoyment from the beginning to the end. Only one flaw and that is that "Little Darlin'" listed by the Diamonds most definitely isn't the Diamonds (who did it much better than the group which is represented)." A Wonderful Collection of Songs Patrick Cox | Bronx, NY | 07/06/2006 (5 out of 5 stars) "When my wife and I sat down to listen to this set, we were instantly transported back to a time so different than today. It was wonderful to hear music that was not instrumentally and technologically overloaded with effects, offensive and often unintelligible lyrics and screaming overdubs. It reminded us of an innocent time in our history and brought back a lot of good memories as a child of those years. I would recommend this set to anyone looking to relive that era or for someone young to hear what real music was like."
