4.0 out of 5 stars The Vogues - first time around collection, March 2, 2002

The Vogues broke into the charts with a string of energetic and polished hits on the Pittsburgh-based Co & Ce Records. When the material and chart success faded, they went on to Reprise and scored again with a more Lettermanesque style revamping older hits.

This collection gathers up their early period recordings from their Co & Ce stint. All six of their top-100 hits from that period are here and two appear in first-time stereo. Their biggest hits of that era are here in mono but they are in fact the original Co & Ce versions as opposed to the doctored versions that wound up on many other Vogues compilations. In addition to the charted singles and album sides, there are several previously unreleased tunes, some of which were the output of some of the biggest names in pop tune composers (P.F. Sloan, Tony Hatch, Barry Mann, Cynthia Weil, et al) of the era.

Sound quality is the best yet for these sides with tracks 4,7-11,15,16 in first-time stereo, the remaining tracks in original-form mono. This collection represents the best gathering of the Vogues' early recordings and makes an excellent companion piece to the other CD's of their later Reprise-label recordings.

5.0 out of 5 stars FANTASTIC!, June 18, 1999

This review is from: Best of the Vogues: You're the One (Audio CD)

From the days in the 60's of seeing The Vogues perform at The Holiday House in Monroeville, Pennsylvania, to hearing their music played on a local oldies station as recently as last week, Bill Burkett, Chuck Blasko, Don Miller and Hugh Geyer have proven that their harmonies are timeless! Before they achieved national exposure, they were a favorite in Pittsburgh. Their music provides a wonderful trip down memory lane!

4.0 out of 5 stars Exellent collection of their Co & Ce material, December 6, 2001

I'm not sure about an "alternate" version of "Five O'Clock World" that the previous reviewer mentions, but "You're the One" may sound different to many people. However, this CD contains the original 1965 single mix, not the alternate with strings that appears on Rhino's collection and that oldies stations have been using for years. As for the later Reprise hits, it would have been nice for them to be included, though I think they're overproduced.

If you like your Vogues lean and mean and want the original versions of their Co & Ce hits, this is indeed the one. If you want a more complete hits collection and are willing to live with a remixed "You're the One," go for the Rhino CD.
