BE-TWEEN HITS, December 11, 2010
This review is from: 70's Teen Idols: Yesterday's Heroes (Audio CD)
YESTERDAY'S HEROES-70S TEEN IDOLS: Even for a teen heartthrob collection (and one named after an obscure Bay City Rollers tune at that) this peaks uncommonly high on the ol' kitcsh-o-meter. Besides usual suspects Bobby Sherman, Leif Garret, and Tony DeFranco, the listener is treated to a treasure trove of every 70s TV hunk ever allowed to wax poetic for a quickie cash-in. Who but retro champeens Rhino Records could dredge up the likes of David Soul, Rick Springfield's lone pre-GENERAL HOSPITAL hit SPEAK TO THE SKY, the Hudson Brothers, Jack (H. R. PUFNSTUF) Wild, the Brady Bunch Kids, Danny Bonaduce (but no David Cassidy), Jimmy Osmond (but no Donny!), Davy Jones, and ANSON "POTSIE" WILLIAMS??!! You never got this much bang for your buck from that little tube o' Clearasil. This sucker should have come on a little cardboard record from the back of a cereal box. Bonus points for the CD cover, mocked up to resemble one of those old TIGER BEAT rags you used to sneak outta your big sister's room. Here's the best so-awful-it's-awesome celebrity sing-off since Rhino's GOLDEN THROATS series. Have at it, kiddiess, and wash that despicable NSYNC taste outta your mouth.
RATING: THREE SHAG HAIRCUTS
