Synopsis

Album Description

With this twofer, we complete our tour of the Four Freshmen?s Capitol album catalog, and what a tour it?s been, covering 7 releases and 14 albums! Winding up with these two albums is kind of fitting, too, because they look backwards and forward at the same time for a group that has never stopped changing and evolving, as they come at the beginning and the end of their Capitol recording career. In fact, Voices in Modern (1955) was their very first album for the label, and Funny How Time Slips Away (1964?an apt name, that) was their next-to-last; between them they boast 23 tracks of the kind of sophisticated harmony, sensitive arrangements and sense of fun that mark every Freshmen release. A Collectors? Choice Music exclusive!

CD Reviews

Half wonderful, half disappointing

Steve Emerine | Tucson, AZ United States | 12/29/2005

(4 out of 5 stars)

"This CD includes the first Four Freshmen Capitol LP, the wonderful "Voices in Modern," which made a generation of us sit up and take notice in the 1950s. And it also includes one of the group's last Capitol efforts, "Funny How Time Slips Away," which shows why Capitol let the Four Freshmen slip away from its label. All 12 of the "Voices" songs by Bob Flanigan, Don and Ross Barbour and Ken Errair were memorable. Despite the presence of "Graduation Day" and "Charade" and the great voices of Flanigan, Ross Barbour and Ken Albers, "Funny" contains a number of very forgettable tunes. Fortunately, the current Four Freshmen group, which has none of the original members, is closer to the original sound and concept than the offerings on the second half of this CD. If you don't have "Voices in Modern" on CD, get this and skip through the "Funny" part. "Mood Indigo," "It Happened Once Before," "After You," "It's a Blue World" and the other songs are well worth the price. But if you do have the "Voices" songs in this format, you can pass up this product. You'd be better off buying a CD by the new Four Freshmen or, better yet, seeing them when they come to your part of the world."
