Editorial Reviews

25 tracks, 65 mins. Excellent and diverse collection of vocal groups who recorded for Coral between 1955 and 1966. Mostly ballads along with a few up tempo jumpers. Among the highlights are the sultry Smoke From Your Cigarette by Billy Williams Quartet, the bluesy up tempo There Goes (A Pretty Girl) from The Enchanters, My Darling My Sweet by the Bay Bops, the beautiful Don't Ask Me to Be Lonely by Andy Rose & The Exotics, the rocking and very weird Guadeamus by the Escorts (are they singing in Latin?), and Just a Shoulder to Cry On by the Demensions. Sound is generally excellent. Song list: THE BAY BOPS: My Darling, My Sweet/ To The Party/ THE CRESTS: You Blew Out The Candles/ THE DEMENSIONS: Just One More Chance (stereo)/ My Foolish Heart (stereo)/ Young At Heart (stereo)/ DENNIS & EXPLORERS: Remember/ THE ENCHANTERS: There Goes (a Pretty Girl)short Version/ True Love Gone/ THE ESCORTS: Gloria - Escorts/ Guadeamus/ Just A Sholder To Cry On/ Seven Wonders Of The World/ THE EXOTICS: Darling I Want To Get Married/ That's My Desire/ THE EXPLORERS: In The Wee Small Hours Of The Morning/ Vision Of Love/ THE FOUR DIRECTIONS: Tonight We Love/ THE FOUR KNIGHTS: Foolish Tears/ THE GOLDBUGS: Stop The Wedding/ THE ILLUSIONS: The Letter/ LEROY & DRIVERS: L-o-v-e/ ANDY ROSE & EXOTICS: Crazy For You/ Don't Ask Me To Be Lonely/ BILLY WILLIAMS QUARTET: Smoke From Your Cigarette

This review is from: Coral Vocal Groups - Vol 1 (Audio CD)

Bought it for True Love Gone by the Enchanters (had it on 78rpm), but the rest of the c.d. is great listening. Esp. the songs by the Demensions. Sound quality is great. Recommend for those looking for the un-heard doo-wops out there.
