This is at heart a singles collection, one that contains all the hits (From "Dedicated To The One I Love", "I Met Him On A Sunday" and "Will You Love Me Tomorrow" to "Soldier Boy" and "Baby, It's You") plus lesser-known gems such as the sublime "A Thing Of The Past" (my favourite Shirelles song...and lead singer Shirley Owens's as well) and the swaying "Maybe Tonight".
The great majority of these cuts were issued as singles, that's how strong the material is. All are presented in their original versions and are digitally remastered, with the majority of the tracks appearing in stereo ("Baby, It's You" is presented both in mono and in stereo; as I'm a fan of wide stereo, it was nice to hear the difference). The sound is impeccable, the selection is nice (but where's "Blue Holiday"? Licensing issues?), and the price is just right. Highly recommended.

First point to make is that this is probably the best available Shirelles compilation. As others reviews say, the sound is excellent, it has all the right songs, and to get both versions of Baby It's You is a welcome bonus. But there are 'original' tracks here that may not be exactly what you're used to. The version of 'Welcome Home Baby' is not the same as that on the first compilation of Shirelles' Hits (called, reasonably enough, 'The Shirelles Hits'), which appeared in 1963. This version is more 'mellow'. Similarly, the version of I Met Him on a Sunday is not the same as the one that appeared on a mid-60s compilation (it's slower). There are certainly Shirelles compilations elsewhere (e.g. 'The Fabulous Shirelles' CD) that are definitely not the original singles, and perhaps the only conclusion is that after 40+ years it is hard to pin down the right masters. But this is the one to buy, anyway!

The Shirelles assured their place in history with their original version of the Goffin-King song, Will you still love me tomorrow, a classic song that has been covered many times in several different styles of music. From an examination of their other music, it is clear that the Shirelles were hugely influential and deserve to be remembered for more than one song.
Apart from Will you love me tomorrow, their best known song is Dedicated to the one I love. Originally written by a member of the Five Royales and first recorded by that group, it was only a minor hit for them. The Shirelles popularised the song, taking it high up the American pop charts, though it failed to chart in Britain. The Mamas and Papas covered the song in the late sixties, when it became a huge UK hit. So Brits finally realized what a great song this is.
Two other Shirelles songs (Boys, Baby it's you) appeared on the debut album by the Beatles. Other great songs include Tonight's the night, Mama said, Soldier boy and Foolish little girl.
Of all the girl groups of the early sixties, the Shirelles were among the best and most important. This compilation shows just how brilliant they were, including all the essentials and many other wonderful songs.

Not worth $13
Most of the cuts are lackluster in musical production of voice & quality. Considering the Few hits, this is a disappointment.

Too many hits missing.
No "31 Flavors", no "It's a Mad World", no "Blue Holiday", no "Don't Go Home, My Little Darling". Too many hits missing.
Stay away from this one.

I would have preferred the original 45 rpm mono versions
Why is it that most companies insist on using the stereo digitized versions of recordings that were mixed and meant to be heard in mono? Read more
