5.0 out of 5 stars Another outstanding volume in the series, May 5, 2004

This review is from: Teen Time - The Young Years Of Rock & Roll, Volume 2: I Got Rhythm (Audio CD)

Volume two, "I Got Rhythm" continues Eric Records' new series of tunes from the first decade of rock and roll. Many of the tracks here come from the Roulette, Colpix, Dimension and Jubilee labels and were once readily available on various Rhino and Sequel single-artist and compilation CD's. But with most of those pieces out of print, Eric has brought them back and added to these well-known tunes a sprinkling of rarities and even two new-to-CD songs. Appealing to the casual fan, top-10 favorites like the Happenings' "I Got Rhythm" and Lou Christie's "Two Faces Have I" share the spotlight with the seldom-found "I'm Blue" from the Ikettes and the Chicago Loop's "My Baby Comes To Me". Not neglecting the true collector, Eric has brought to CD-daylight the High Keys' move-over Doris Day version of "Que Sera, Sera" and "Don't Mention My Name" from the Shepherd Sisters, known for their big hit rendition of "Alone".

As has come to be expected and always appreciated is Eric's attention to quality reproduction here exemplified by the use of the mono version of J.J. Jackson's "It's Alright", a track that has been issued in "stereo" on other CD's when in fact it has always been the electronically rechannelled faux-stereo version. The tracks that do appear in true stereo here are 3,5,6,11,15,16 and 20. Rounding out the piece are the informative liner notes providing backround on the included artists and tracks. Once again, Eric shows how it should be done.

5.0 out of 5 stars Only label that can match ACE reissues, January 15, 2005

By 

Martijn13Maart1970 (Husavik Iceland) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Teen Time - The Young Years Of Rock & Roll, Volume 2: I Got Rhythm (Audio CD)

I am a enthousiastic collector, and have almost all the Time Life rock n roll stuff, as well as ACE cds of this era.
I could comment like this like I have on ACE editions, or the Eric Records HArd to Find 45s series. Excellent, and must have!
A few points why:
20 tracks per cd (Time life is also excellent, but you get 15 per cd!)
excellent booklets with background info
not the same old songs over again, but many rare and still excellent tracks!
last but not least amazing sound quality.
So although you might have some songs there on other collections like ACE, it is for above mentioned points alone worth it to always have an Eric copy as well.

5.0 out of 5 stars This Is Just Outstanding!, April 18, 2004

What can I say, except that it doesn't get any better than this. As with all of Eric's CDs, this one is flawless!

In addition to the tracks that we already have (but are now relegated to the obsolete pile by this CD), there are several tracks not found on any other domestic CDs, such as Don't Mention my Name by The Sheppard Sisters, Que, Sera, Sera by The High Keys, and (finally) a true mono version of the single, But It's Alright by J. J. Jackson, instead of the horrible re-channeled one that has appeared before.

The guys at Eric know how to do this sort of thing right, and we are the real winners in getting to listen to these hits the way they should be heard.

A wonderful CD! You owe yourselves a treat, and this is it!
