"For any of those expecting those Philles hits, this is the wrong CD. "Silhouettes" is a compilation of recordings from the group's time with "Colpix Records" (1961-1962) Here you'll find the group's cover version of The Rays' 1957 hit "Silhouettes" as well as their original compositions "My Guiding Angel," "I Want A Boy," and "Recipe For Love" (among several others of course.) A notable omission from this CD is "You Bet I Would" (the original b-side of the single "Silhouettes" back in '62) However, every other known track is here.



I must say though that the packaging is a little disappointing. What you see here, is what you get; no photographs of the group, no liner notes, no information on any of the songs, no history of the trio's time with the record label, nothing. Oh well, at least the songs are good."
