Thank you BGO and Amazon for making this CD available. This CD brings back the music of my early teenage years. My old copies are barely playable. I was concerned about purchasing a CD containing songs from two old LPs because I have been burned by low quality CDs and DVDs before. I cannot accurately describe the pleasure I experienced when listening to this wonderfull CD in clear, perfect, STEREO. This is an excellent CD that would be a prized possession for any Bobby Vee fan.

Forget the negative press Bobby Vee has gotten over the years. For those of us old enough to have enjoyed the music of the period that begins with Elvis' release from the Army and ends with the apocalyptic release of She Loves You, Vee's recordings made lasting hits on our minds and dreams. Leave it that he was underated to a fault and that these two albums, at last welded together, were the highwater mark of his recording career.

TWO memorable albums, are remastered here! These two albums were originally released in 1961 & 1962, and are two of Bobby Vee's all time best.
ALBUM ONE, 1961, "Take good care of my baby" took Vee to the number one position, and is remembered as his signature song. The next release, "Run to him" b/w "Walkin' with my angel" went to #2. His covers of "Will you love me tomarrow", "He will break your heart", and "Raining in my heart" were given the usual Bobby Vee treatment. The last song of the album stands out as one of Bobby Vee's best songs ever, "Hark, is that a cannon I hear", this is as good a song as any. And Vee's delevery is excelent.
ALBUM TWO, 1962, "A recording session", Now here is some more really GOOD songs! On "Please don't ask about Barbara" b/w "I can't say goodbye" Bobby Vee really hit his stride. (If you haven't ever heard "I can't say good-bye" you have missed one of his VERY BEST! Bobby Vee seemed to be on a roll when "Sharing you" b/w "In my babys eyes" also did well on the chart. "In my babys eyes" could have been an excelent single release, it is that good. Vee does a good job on the covers of "Whats your name" and "You better move on". The other elevan of these 24 tracks are new album cuts and includes some good material. This twofer is back to back L.P.'s of when Bobby Vee was in his prime. This is a very enjoyable c.d.!
The liner booklet gives six pages of information about Bobby Vee, and this music.
The label is "Beat goes on records" made in England. This music has great sound quality.
(If your a Bobby Vee fan and have purchased "THE SINGLES COLLECTION" there is still 17 songs here that are not on that set)
