What A Bargain, May 10, 1999
This review is from: Roses Are Red (Audio CD)
No, this is not the long awaited digital release of Vinton's famed 1962 album of the same name. But it's nice just the same. Featuring four number one hits would normally get an album a higher ranking, but all four, ("Roses","Velvet", "Lonely", and "There")are widely available so why do we need to have them on yet another package? It would have made so much more sense for Epic to delve into its deep vault of vintage Vinton vinyl and treat us to more gems, but Epic doesn't make enough of an effort here. The five songs that do appear here for the first time are more than worth the price however. "Traces" is no match for Dennis Yost but its a pleasant listen. "When I Fall In Love" is great with Vinton at his smooth best. Overall a great value but a release of the original "Roses Are Red" would have been oh so much sweeter. Epic take note!
