Customer Reviews:

GREAT CD........2007-05-14

A great CD of rock'n'roll, the songs are fantastic. Good sound. To the lovers of this music it is recommended to him

The Flamingos.......2006-03-17

Unfortunatley, most of the songs are from the "B" side of their hits. There are some good tunes, but not enough familiar ones.

Excellent.......2005-08-03

This album is definitely a great purchase. There are too many great songs to list all of them, but "I only have eyes for you" has got to be one of the greatest DooWop songs of all time. If you consider yourself a DooWop fan, then this album is a must.

What's Not to Like?.......2005-01-05

One early reviewer of this package says he only hears "Lovers Never Say Goodbye" by these guys on the oldies stations. That has not been my experience, but I do hope that Terry Johnson of the group is collecting royalties as he wrote it and went on to write my favorite Miracles' song, "Baby, Baby, Don't Cry" with Smokey Robinson. Surely the most popular of the Flamingos' tunes is "I Only Have Eyes for You" written in the 1930s and covered by the group in 1959 with a knock-you-dead arrangement that is a classic; Art Garfunkel copied the arangement for his solo version some years later. This is a very good package and I recommend it. The Flamingos were rightfully inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame AND the Doo Wop Hall of Fame (no, really) in 2001. Is there any wonder why?

Here's to one of the greatest vocal groups of all time.......2004-04-30

What is the most perfect sounding single of all time? Many collectors would answer that question without hesitation. "Golden Teardrops" by The Flamingos was released on the fledgling Chance label in Chicago in late 1953. This is an unforgettable and truly elegant recording featuring the passionate lead of Sollie McElroy and the intricate harmonies of first tenor Johnny Carter, second tenor Zeke Carey, baritone Paul Wilson and bass Jake Carey. This record would establish the group as one of the top R&B vocal groups of the era. But the Flamingos were not content to be just an outstanding vocal group. They also played their own instruments and choreographed the act as well. Many of the Motown groups a decade later would emulate the Flamingos.
In the marvelous "The Complete Book of Doo Wop" authors Anthony Gribin and Matthew Schiff list what they feel are the top 1000 doo wop records of all time. There are 10 records by the Flamingos on that list. 9 of these songs appear on this wonderful CD. Once again, Rhino has done a masterful job with this compilation. There is an informative 8 page booklet featuring a history of the group as well as a complete discography. This is an especially important feature for doo wop groups since most tended to wander from label to label. The Flamingos were no exception in this regard. Sit down relax and enjoy tunes like "That's My Desire" from 1953, "I'll Be Home" as well as tunes we all know and love like "Lovers Never Say Goodbye" and of course "I Only Have Eyes For You". I am confident that you will enjoy each and every one of the 18 tracks on the CD. One track I would have included here had it been up to me was the groups rendition of Patti Pages "Cross Over the Bridge". It is one of my favorites. Whether you are a long time fan of doo wop or someone just exploring the genre for the first time, this is a recording worth owning. Highly recommended.

A Mellow, thoroughly enjoyable Breeze from the Past........1998-11-29

When the Ink Spots first introduced stratified, rhythmic songs featuring counter-tenor and deep bass voices, often sung a capella, the style later called "Doo-wop" was considered Racial, or "Colored". Throughout the 30s and 40s the style was refined and finally emerged in the Flamingos smooth sound. It took Pat Boone "pushing" and singing "in front" of "I'll Be Home" to get the Flamingos the attention they deserved. Several of this group's songs have been featured recently in films and on TV, with Bill Cosby and Felicia Rashad dancing on The Bill Cosby show to the Flamingo's glittering rendition of "I Only Have Eyes for You". This same 50s classic was the closing music for one of Tim Reid's series; Reid and his wife dance to this at night in front of the Lincoln Memorial. I can't get along without this album, and that's why I'm ordering two more; one for each car.

An incredible follow up to `Pequeno' .......2005-07-20

`Pequeno' recorded in 1999 remains as the best album Enrique has recorded as of yet. So, when `Flamingos' was announced the expectations were high, he had already presented a couple of the new songs in live performances (`Si' and `...y al final') and somehow the public knew what to expect.

Following the idea of `Pequeno' being a conceptual album divided in three parts (Pequeno, Cabaret and Ambulante), `Flamingos' shows what the concept of this album will be from the cover. Using the metaphor of the boxing, Bunbury delivers 15 of his best songs ever written, almost at the level of those from `Pequeno'.

The comparison between both albums is somehow necessary as the new one follows the idea of the musicals and the cabaret presented in his previous work. Some of the artists Enrique admires and has worked with are present on this album, Carlos Ann, Adria Punti, Shuarma (from `Elefantes') and Jaime Urrutia (former member of `Gabinete Caligari') with whom he sings an excellent duet called `No se fie'. The lyrics are one of the best things the album has, filled with personal anecdotes beautifully told and metaphors all Bunbury style. The band impresses as it did in the last album, the synergy of all the musicians is hard to define, and this album wouldn't definitely be the masterpiece it is hadn't Bunbury had this band. Copi, Ana Belen, Rafa, del Moran, and the rest, each one of them has his moment in this disc.

The album opens with a powerful piece entitled `El club de los imposibles' in which Enrique basically introduces and describes his band, `El huracan ambulante'. Then we have the first single `Si' originally written by Adria Punti, Copi is just unbelievable in this piece and is one of the highlights on his live performances. Then we have `Contar contigo' followed by `Sacame de aqui', an incredible musical piece filled with very interesting metaphors in the lyrics. `Enganchado a ti' is a rhythmic piece delivered by the band in one of its best moments in this album. `Lady Blue' clearly shows the influence that David Bowie has had on Enrique, the guitar riffs and the lyrics are reminiscent of `Heroes'. `Ciudad de bajas pasiones' presents a quite unusual instrumentation and a sharp critique to Mexican politics, when president Fox came up with the `brilliant' idea of banning the popular `corridos' because they encouraged narcotrafic and how easy is to smuggle drugs into an airplane as long as you have enough money to bribe migration.

The best piece of the album is indeed the one that closes it, appropriately entitled `...y al final'. A beautiful vals that talks about a farewell and an undying love, beautiful music and even more beautiful lyrics.

The album presentation is quite regular and no lyrics are present (who needs them anyway?) There is an import version in a different case similar to the one used for `Pequeno' but the design is basically the same. A whole new disc, 15 unbelievable themes and deluxe guests make this album an awesome musical experience and the perfect follow up for one of the best albums in rock history ever.

Musica de verdad- A masterpiece.......2005-06-13

I will try to write both an english and spanish review:

No cabe la menor duda que lo que Enrique Bunbury desarrolla en su musica es arte, pero quizas un arte excepcional y minimalista, lo que se escapa de Flamingos es un sentido de urbanidad que la musica pop explota en difusion popular. Quizas es la denominacion que Bunbury le ha bautizado a su musica de cabaret " Rock Bastardo" porque sin duda es lo que el artista nos a brindado, el rock de lo natural, la poesia sin disculpas en un disco sublime como lo es surrealista. Las baladas y el desamor no faltan, "Saquame de aqui"; un himno lleno de desesperanzas, y el contagiaso ritmo de "Enganchado a ti" es un tributo a la inmolacion romantica. "Si" el single del disco es preparado y de estudio pero genuino y lo que le falta de instigacion, lo recobra en originalidad. El elemento existencial es imminente, desconturrido e inspirador, porque pocas veces vemos un artista tan comprometido con si mismo que arriesga la critica a consecuencia del desahogo artistico y en este album Bunbury no deja espacio para los complementos, "No se fie" es real, honesto y "a la Gardel", "Hoy no estoy para nadie", "One, two, three" y hasta "Hermosos y maditos" son manifiestos de egoismo prenatal e ideologia anarquista. "Al final" sin compromoter la capacidad de este genio es una oda al desaliento y se siente un poco desconectado al "momentum" que el disco ha desarrollado en las ultimas canciones. Definitivamente que esperar de Bunbury? Un Picaso de compleja soveranidad, sin conviccion y muchas agallas, importando la belleza de las baladas y boleros a un estilo que es de el propio y originalmente anarquista.

English Review
Perhaps it is Enrique Bunbury's sublime interaction with the surreal that makes Flamingos an imminent danger to the pop infested youth, thankfully those of you listening ot this album will be saitsfied with its imperative originality and decisive fusion of tango, rock and roll, and boleros among other genres. Yet what makes Bunbury the spanish Bob Dylan is not his affiliation with the road life, the anarchist sentiment, or his affinity for the bohemian conditioning of his overwhelming lyrics, no! what makes Bunbury an everyday Dylan is his all out honesty, and his sense of originality and genuineness. He is against the studio fixation of the uncapable singer, ( he is one of the best live acts you could ever hear) but it is rather what he calls the brute nature of his art, thus the raspy oversinging in his voice, or his S's turning into random whistles in the middle of songs. That is the beauty of his music; his intuitiveness, his predicliction for the unwanted element of art. Not surprising the songs in this album are full of disenchanment, heartbreak, anger, hope and all together forgiveness. Because Flamingos is a boxing match, a journey through 15 rounds of human emotion and artistic sensibility, one should take the album hands on and un-inhibited. A good bottle of wine, some cigarrets and a lonely afternoon will do, lay back and enjoy the match.

Que les sucede.......2005-03-31

Yo, gran seguidor de los Heroes, me entristece que gente valora tanto una obra de un gran maestro de rock en espanol. Este disco tiene mucho que desear. Hay canciones que no se pueden identificar co el genero del rock. Hay rasgos de jazz , polka
y otros no identificados. Aparte de esto las canciones no tienen
esencia,no sabor.Sonora Radical es muy experimental pero dentro del genero rock progresive. No es el mejor cd es el peor hasta ahorita.........sorry

A True Work of Art.......2004-06-18

Now this is what I call a master piece. Although many fans believe that Pequeno is Enrique's best album, I have to say that "Flamingos" is his best album. It's one of those albums that you never get tire of listening. Every song is unique in its own way and the lyrics are powerful though not as personal as "pequeno's" lyrics. My favorite songs are: Sacame de aqui, lady blue, si, y al final, hermosos y malditos, and ciudad de bajas pasiones. This is an absolutely must have album. In fact, it's the best spanish rock album that I have ever heard and I doubt that it can be challenged.

Greatest spanish rock album.......2004-04-14

This is a truly excellent album, it's one of a kind. It's intense and rich in philosophical lyrics. It transports you into a different world. I stronly believe that it's Bunbury's best piece of work aside Heroes del Silencio. In fact, it's the best rock albums I have ever heard, can't get enough of it, better than "radical sonora."

THESE GUYS BELONG IN THE R&R HALL OF FAME!!!.......1999-06-29

I still find it hard to believe that the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame ignores groups like The Flamingos and The Moonglows, both of whom had several hit singles. The Flamingos are one of the absolute best r&b groups to come along and their voices blend so well you know their music will put you in the mood for love any old time. Maybe someday this wonderful group will finally get their due, they definitely deserve it.

The "FABULOUS" Flamingos.......1999-02-07

This is the ultimate collection of the ultimate group. No one in the music business has ever recorded better versions of new and "standard" material than the Flamingos. These two CDs will keep you in a mellow "wish my girl were here" mood for years to come. Trust me...the tracks on this compilation can not be outdone...Disc 2 will blow you away!

Great, Classic movie..........2007-07-18

I've been meaning to purchase this DVD for a while now but never got around to it. Once I saw it on Amazon, I was able to purchase and have it at home within a week and a half.

The movie is absolutely hysterical and everything that is John Waters. Definately one of my all-time favorite movies but not for the faint of heart. If you can stand grotesque humor...this movie is for you!

One of the greatest movies ever made!!!.......2007-05-07

If you enjoy great movies, like Kane, Sound of Music, you're sure to enjoy this classic by Waters. A masterpiece of filth.

HOW I WISH I HADN'T SEEN THIS!.......2007-04-11

A WOMAN SCREAMING AS SHE'S BEING BRUTALLY RAPED WITH A LIVE CHICKEN BY A MANSONESQUE LUNATIC. HOW CAN ANYONE USE THE WORD "FUNNY" TO DESCRIBE THE TORTURE OF A POOR ANIMAL STRUGGLING IN VAIN TO FREE ITSELF BEFORE IT'S BEATEN TO DEATH? POLYESTER WAS ONE OF MY FAVORITE MOVIES. I DON'T THINK I CAN HANDLE WATCHING IT, OR ANYTHING ELSE BY WATERS AGAIN.

Cotton! Cotton! Tell me about the egg man!.......2007-04-11

Not my favorite of John H2o's films but has some great one liners; "Babs Johnson? Sounds like a monkey on a tire swing!" Cuddles and the eggman...classic!

Amazon meltdown.......2007-04-02

This page is clearly for the soundtrack CD but the reviews seem to be for the movie. I will comment on the CD. This is a great collection of songs that will get you moving. John Waters has an excellent ear for rock and pop songs. The sound quality is good, especially when you consider how old these recordings are. Whatever you may think of the movie the soundtrack is a lot of fun.

The Flamingos were one of the smoothest sounding groups of the Doo Wop era and this 2-in-1 album displays their tremendous talent.
Their biggest hit, "I Only Have Eyes For You" is here along with many other classic standards performed in their own inimitable style.
All the tunes are the original versions and the recording quality is first-rate.

Smooth as Silk.......2000-01-21

What more can be said for that unique "sound" that Nate Nelson brought to the group, when you put 1950's and the word ballad together you automatically come up with the Flamingos. They're best known for their ballads, and sixteen out of the twenty tracks are just that, but don't get me wrong, the Flamingos can put over an uptempo tune just as well. You get two previously unissued tracks, both are alternate takes of "When" and "I'll Be Home". My all time favorite Flamingos song is "A Kiss From Your Lips". It is unfortunate that all the members of the Flamingos are no longer with us, but we are very fortunate to have their musical legacy live on captured on disc.
