The Vogues: The Return Of The Good Old Songs, February 7, 2003
This review is from: Turn Around, Look at Me/Till (Audio CD)
Hats off to producer, Bill "Chess" Inglot's work in bringing back two of the best albums The Vogues have ever done on one CD. The rich harmony and instrumental background are still there, and without the clicks and pops that came with the original vinyl recordings. Although, I have to disagree with the other reviewer's reason for The Vogues disappearance from the spotlight - they were swindled out of the right to use their own group name to perform or record under by a manager at 20th Century Records. And, since then, some counterfeit "Vogues" have been performing their songs throught the years and taking credit for the work of the original Vogues. Go to vogues.com and what you'll see won't be the original members of The Vogues.

Best Vogues Album, January 17, 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Turn Around, Look at Me/Till (Audio CD)
The Vogues vocal talent is unsurpassed. In the 1960's they faded due to bad choices on songs. For some reason, someone told them a return to the good old songs of the 1940's and 1950's was the way to go. Mistake. But Turn Around Look at Me did not fall prey to that philosophy. It is by far the best album The Vogues ever did. It truly displays their talent. I've been a Vogues fan for 35 years.

Finally A Vogues Remastered Cd long overdue Buy This for your Sweetheart, August 15, 2006
This review is from: Turn Around, Look at Me/Till (Audio CD)
Finally a Vogues Remastered CD long overdue. This is the reprise material where Can I even begin there Version of My Special Angel which blows away the Bobby Helms original with there Lettermen like Mellow harmonies. The same can be said for Turn Around Look At Me. Which were the 2 big releases on the reprise label. Boy did Bill Inglot do a good job of remastering this one. Sounds so crystal Clear without the noises in the original master tapes. Now if the early material would be remastered that would be nice. Those discs are old realeases and before remastering. Great ballads all around with The Vogues having that Lettermen type sound Til, So This Is Love,The Impossible Dream. There all good I hit the Playback button on Turn Around Look At Me and My Special Angel love the Harmonies so beautiful and mellow it will put you to sleep. And those 2 songs make me think of someone special in my life. The difference between this and the early stuff is the later stuff is in stereo where as the early stuff a lot of it was in mono. Buy this one for your sweetheart and show them how much you care about them. Enjoy this collection of great mushy ballads.
