This compilation originally started out as a 14 track vinyl doo-wop collection of rarities from the Jamie-Guyden catalog issued in 1974. Originally mastered from vinyl sources, one of the tracks actually skipped on the vinyl incarnation of this set! Fortunately, digital remastering from the original tapes brings us all but one of those original 14, along with five new bonus tracks, again all...

Notes: Liner Note Author: Billy Vera. Photographer: Billy Vera. These are not the best 25 all-time doo wop hits -- whether because of licensing restrictions or not, there's no "The Great Pretender," "Tears on My Pillow," "Maybe," "Searchin'," "Gee," "Stay," "A Teenager in Love," "I Only Have Eyes for You," "Why Do Fools Fall in Love," "Book of Love," "Silhouettes," or numerous other smashes that might be reasonably championed as among the cream of the cream. As doo wop comps go, though, it's pretty...

Notes: Mixing rare tracks with a few bona fide hits tossed in for good measure, Collectables' Doo Wop 45s on CD, Vol. 17 series is aimed mainly at genre collectors and die-hard vocal group fans, who no doubt will find these generous single-disc sets a real Godsend. Highlights on this 17th volume include the Cleftones' "Why Do You Do Me Like You Do," the Regents' "Runaround" (which provides a clear template for the Beach Boys' sound), and the Devotions' sly "Rip Van Winkle." ~ Steve Leggett
