1.0 out of 5 stars Don't bother with this one...
Poor sound quality mars this collection of unremarkable early `60s doo-wop-ish girl group recordings. Only for the most passionate Patti LaBelle fans.

Poor sound quality mars this collection of unremarkable early `60s doo-wop-ish girl group recordings. Only for the most passionate Patti LaBelle fans.

I usually like the compilations of UK label Ace/Kent Soul (those for Irma Thomas, Carolyn Franklin, and the Ikettes are particularly good), but this one is sub-par. These recordings do not sound (and are not credited as being) digitally re-mastered. The sound quality is just terrible. And the last two tracks (both previously un-issued) have loud scratching/feedback on them. "The Early Years" may be the only available collection of Patti, Nona, Sarah, and Cindy's 1962-1965 recordings, but I would advise waiting until a better quality collection is issued in the future.
