This review is from: Fantastic First Years (Audio CD)

This is a great introduction into the early history of Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons. All Seasons fans have the hits, but here is a unique package that has all of the obscure, hard-to-find, one-of-a-kind, early tracks. Some are songs that were released by Frankie Valli under various pseudonymns (Frankie Vally, Frankie Tyler, Frankie Valley, Frankie Valle), and others are songs that were released as "backing vocals." The early solo stuff is reminiscent of the great Doo Wop sounds coming from the east coast during the late 50s/early 60s.

Many diehard fans know that Frankie Valli and Tommy DeVito were in The Four Lovers. You also know that The Four Seasons sometimes used the pseudonymn of The Wonder Who?. However, did you also know about Alex Alda (aka Nick Massi And The Four Seasons) and Billy Dixon And The Topics (aka The Four Seasons). Well now you do...
