to 1963. More great music for doo-wop fans. (DH) |
|||
| VARIOUS ARTISTS | Dynamite DGS 110 | Dynamite Group Sounds, Vol. 10 | ● CD $17.98 |
| 26 tracks, 66 min., recommended Dynamite's supply of little
known vocal group gems continues here with Volume 10 of Group Sounds. The
program opens with Scheming by the Senators from 1959 (not about
politics), then moves onto Now That I Have You by the Willows, Teardrops
by the Markeets, Standing Alone by the Temptations (not the Motown/Gordy
group), The Way to My Heart by Billy Storm, Could This Be You
by the Supremes (once again, not the Motown group), Talk to an Angel
by the Lovetones, Pleading to You by the Five Owls, Rosabel
by the Magic Notes, Evening Shadows Falling by the Seniors, and the
great Traveling All Alone by the Dixieaires. Both sound quality and
the playlist itself remain impressive. And original recording dates range
from 1953 to 1964. (DH) |
|||
| VARIOUS ARTISTS | Dynamite DGS 111 | Dynamite Group Sounds, Vol. 11 | ● CD $17.98 |
| 26 tracks, 67 min., recommended. For volumes 11 and 12 in
this solid vocal group series, the cover art has changed. Gone are the
ultra-bland graphics, and in their place is a benign caricature of a five
member black ensemble. Highlights include Listen to the Rain by the
Delteens, There's Rain in My Eyes by the Robins from 1954, I
Love You by the Dukes, I'll Be True by the Charms, the stunning
ballad The Perfect Example by Dan & the Clean Cut Clan from
1964, You Blew Out the Candles by the Crests, and Wheels of Love
by the Demires. Lots of good stuff, all featuring excellent sound quality
and no real notes. Recording dates range from 1952 to 1965. (DH) |
|||
| VARIOUS ARTISTS | Dynamite DGS 112 | Dynamite Group Sounds, Vol. 12 | ● CD $17.98 |
| 26 tracks, 64 min., recommended. Like its companion disc,
reviewed above, volume 12 offers a vocal group program comprised of
rarities recorded between the mid-50's and the mid-60's. Featured numbers
include You Inspire Me by the Class-Notes, Cherie by the
Hide-A-Ways, the splendid but rather somber Seventeen Steps by the
Fairlanes, Gone Too Long by Herb Price & the Darts, Your
Star by the El Capris, Bless You by the Carter Rays, Going
Home by Jimmy Ricks & the Ravens, A Sunday Kind of Love by
Lonnie Heard and group, Welcome Me Home by the Fabulous Four (no,
not the Beatles), and Why Are You Crying by the Fabulous
Enchanters. Self-promotion can't hurt, I suppose. Tempos vary; sound
quality is above reproach, and there are still no notes. (DH) |
|||
| VARIOUS ARTISTS | Dynamite DGS 113 | Dynamite Group Sounds, Vol. 13 | ● CD $17.98 |
| 26 tracks, 63 min., recommended. This time around there are
four new volumes in this reliable vocal group collection. And all four are
solid, mixing fast and slow tempos and offering 50's-styled numbers
originally recorded somewhere between the mid-50's and the mid-60's.
Highlights on Volume 13 include Please Don't Crush My Dreams by the
Emerals, Love is Like a Mountain by the Raindrops, I'm
Pretending by the Jades, Why Should I by the Flips, What's
This Thing Called Love by the Dwellers, Stop the Wedding by the
Goldbugs, Can't You Understand by the King Bees, Fool's Paradise
by Roy Goode and group, Pleading for Your Love by the Four Dots,
and Tears of Love
by the Persians. A great selection of group rarities,
offered here with impressive sound quality and notes restricted to a
listing of original issue labels and year of issue. (DH) |
|||
| VARIOUS ARTISTS | Dynamite DGS 114 | Dynamite Group Sounds, Vol. 14 | ● CD $17.98 |
| VARIOUS ARTISTS | Dynamite DGS 115 | Dynamite Group Sounds, Vol. 15 | ● CD $17.98 |
| 26 tracks, 63 min., recommended. Volume 15 manages to travel
the distance from the ridiculous to the sublime with relative ease. Let's
start with the apparently ridiculous. Hitting that mark for me is Agnes
(Teenage Russian Spy) by the Sweet Sick Teens from 1961. Really. On
the at least reasonably sublime side are I'm Sorry Pillow by the
great Lee Andrews, Tears in My Eyes by Kenny Hamber and Group, Somewhere
in My Heart by the Ebonaires, You'll Have Everything by the
Sugarmints, One Room by the Stylists, This Heart of Mine by
the Turks, Once in a Lifetime by the Barons, How Deep Is the
Ocean by the Sultans, and, speaking, as we were, of the sublime, the
previously unreleased recording of Hank Williams' You Win Again by
the Five Crowns, cut during their days on the Rainbow label. Much too good
to miss. (DH) |
|||
| VARIOUS ARTISTS | Dynamite DGS 116 | Dynamite Group Sounds, Vol. 16 | ● CD $17.98 |
| 26 tracks, 62 min., recommended. Volume 16 opens with the
uptempo Penalty of Love by the Velvetones, then moves on to a more
ballad-dominated program, including Valley of Tears by the Shamans
(not the Fats Domino number), Come On Baby by the Youngtones, This
Thing Called Love by the Invictors, After Graduation by the
Four Fifths, My Mother's Eyes by the Soft Tones, I Get That
Feeling by the Victorials, an alternate take of Keep It a Secret
by the Five Crowns, Hey Hey Girl by Danny Zip and the Zippers (a
nice name, don't you think!), Lessons from the Stars by the
Charmers, Stop the Clock by the Wailers, Have a Heart by
Eddie Williams and Group, the beautiful Made to Love by the
Sharptones, and the delightful Once There Lived a Fool by Savannah
Churchill from 1950. Great music. (DH) |
|||
| VARIOUS ARTISTS | Dynamite DGS 118 | Dynamite Group Sounds, Vol. 18 | ● CD $17.98 |
| This popular and long running series of group harmony sides
continues with 26 more obscurities including Blue Feelin' by The
Versatiles, You're The One by The Starfires, I'm Yours As Long
As I Live by The Viceroys plus cuts by The Star Steppers, Barons,
Sensational Dellos, Tony Allen & The Wonders, The Kac-Ties and more. |

| VARIOUS ARTISTS | Dynamite 125 | Dynamite Group Sounds, Vol 25 | ● CD $17.98 |
| 26 tracks, 65 mins, recommended. Another excellent entry in
this fine series - a varied selection of group harmony from the 50s and
early 60s including slow ballads, mid tempo groovers and up-tempo rockers.
The style ranges from the older Mills Brothers and Ink Spots flavored
style of the Four Tunes and The 4 Dots to the solid doo-wop style of the
mid 50s to the beginnings of the soul style with the Spinners. Among the
fine groups here are The Travelers, Coronets, Webtones, Utopians, Crowns,
Silvertones and others including some fine female led groups like Vee
Jennings & Group and Lil' June & The Januarys - the latter's Oh
What A Feeling is a particularly nice and soulful ballad.

| 26 tracks, highly recommended Another fine selection in this
outstanding series featuring rare black vocal group harmony from the 50s
and early 60s. With so many compilation out there it's perhaps not too
surprising that a dozen sides are duplicated on other collections though
in general this has one has a superior choice. Among the highlights are
the beautiful Since You Left My World by The Centurians with a tune
very similar to Auld Lang Syne, the delightful tribute to Amazing
Willie Mays by The King Odom Quartet, the unusual This Little Boy
by The Coronets (what is this about?), the rocking Oo-Wha-Cha-Wah
by The Incredible Upsetters with some hot guitar and others from The
Fascinators, Twilighters, Crescents, Sonny Fulton & The Mix Masters,
The Flips, The Hide-A-Ways (a soulful rendition of the standard Can't
Help Loving That Girl Of Mine), The Deltas and others. Good sound and
attractive cover.
