Customer Reviews:

Great compilation.......2002-05-10

I don't actually own this particular compilation, however, since I own nearly every recording represented on these discs...I think I'm qualified to comment. This is a wonderful representation of the high quality of work that DRG Records does.
The previous review is way off the mark. This is definitely not a waste of time or money. This is 25 years of preserving Broadway shows, Off-Broadway shows, studio recordings (mostly from the city center concerts), etc. So what if they "aren't as good as the original", DRG is preserving many recordings and artists that other mainstream labels don't or won't. You have wonderful recordings from Brian Stokes Mitchell, Nathan Lane, Debbie Gravitte, Tyne Daly, Anthony Perkins, Joanna Gleason, Marin Mazzie, Carol Burnett, Heather Headley, Patti LuPone, Barbara Cook, etc., and many of these are from Original Cast Recordings just as they appeared on Broadway. This is an excellent sampler of the work going on at DRG. No...I'm not an employee...just an avid listener and collector of theatre recordings.

A disappointment.......2001-12-15

There's a reason you've probably never heard of most of the songs and shows on this album, not to mention most of the artists. This is a second-rate collection of second-rate numbers performed by mostly second-rate artists. In the case of the shows that were revivals, the performances on the original cast recordings were better. Don't waste your money.

Customer Reviews:

A must have for '60s Girl Group fans.......2003-05-21

Taragon has outdone themselves here in terms of sound quality. These songs have simply never sounded better. All of them are in true stereo, except track 12, New York's a Lonely Town. They all sound great, unlike a lot of the hollow or muddy sounding versions floating around out there.

Quality, not quantity.......2001-11-15

This is the first high-quality compilation of tunes from Leiber/Stoller/Goldner's mid-60s Red Bird/Blue Cat labels. Many of these titles are available on other compilation CDs but this is the first time they have appeared in true stereo as opposed to the muddy mono of previous products. All the tracks save number 12 are in true stereo, having been taken from the original session masters. While many of these songs will be familiar, the sonic improvement is astonishing and is worth the purchase price alone. The only shortcoming (and the reason for only a four-star rating) is the relatively meager number of tracks for a full-price, from-the-vaults compilation. That point aside, this disc provides a quantum leap forward in enjoyment for anyone interested in these signature songs from the 60s. Included with the disc is an eight-page booklet with backround notes about the label and artists. Since the issue of this CD, Varese Vintage has come out with a Red Bird/Blue Cat girl group compilation (which see) that is also excellent. It contains more tracks with more rarities and, although it focuses on the girl groups, there is considerable overlap and is essentially an expanded version of this CD. For the basic Red Bird hits, though, this is an excellent choice.

The definitive collection - all true stereo for the 1st time.......1998-05-03

Taragon has quietly been turning out quality discs for several years, and this is a proud addition. You've heard "Chapel Of Love" (Dixie Cups), "Boy From New York City" (Ad Libs) or "Leader of The Pack" (Shangri-La's)....but never in the spectacular quality presented here. 15 tracks in all - 14 in true stereo for the first time, from the original 4 track masters. A must have!
