4.0 out of 5 stars
Better, not best compilation, June 26, 2001
This review is from: Masters (Audio CD)
Of the plethora of Shirelles compilation CD's, this piece out of Eagle Records in Europe is one of the better ones. Contained within are most of the better-known Shirelles tunes with the notable exception of "I Met Him On A Sunday". Coming from Europe, there are a few cuts included that were not top-100 hits in the U.S. but this does contain a few that are not often found on other Shirelles CD's, "Are You Still My Baby" for one.
Overall, the sound quality is reasonably good with tracks 1,3,9,10,12,13,18-20 in mono, the remainder in stereo. Liner notes are limited to a track listing and a one-page commentary on some of the Shirelles' songs.
While superior to many of the marginal Shirelles CD's being offered, unless there are tunes here specifically desired, consider the Rhino, or, and best of the lot, the Varese Vintage 25-hit collection.
