Sweet on the Shangri Las? Then perhaps a double dose of the Pussycats is what you need . . . Hungry for the feminine side of soul? Surely the Opals and Sandi Sheldon will please. Whether you savor the sounds of vivacious teenage girls or prefer to hear a soulstress singing the blues, "Where The Girls Are, Volume 5: A Decade Of Columbia Femme Pop" most certainly has something for you.
For years, those aficionados Mick Patrick and Malcolm Baumgart have been serving up compilations that run the gamut of the girl group sound. What makes the "Where The Girls Are" series so irresistible is that they don't discriminate. Yes, my friends, here you will find girls of all shapes and sizes, colors and creeds, singing songs by some of the best writers and producers the sixties had to offer.
This new volume pays special attention to the 'Brill Building' songwriters, whose first class compositions are surely the cream of the compilation. Husband and wife songwriting teams Ellie Greenwich & Jeff Barry and Gerry Goffin & Carole King are represented by the Orchids' debut single "That Boy Is Messing Up My Mind" and "The Harlem Tango". The third of the Brill couples, Barry Mann & Cynthia Weil, give Hollywood legend Doris Day her girl group moment with "Let The Little Girl Limbo" - a "Blame It On The Bossa Nova" clone with orchestral arrangement by Jack Nitzsche and a cameo appearance by Darlene Love!
The brightest moment on this compilation comes from the Washington DC-based trio the Sweet Things whose "You?re My Lovin' Baby" is made of the stuff we girl group fans dream about. Written and produced by former Scepter Records staffer Van McCoy, this 1966 release is awash in warm melodies and a dazzling chorus that recalls the best of the Spector sound.

This is a very worthy addition to the ongoing series from ACE, and probably my favorite one in the set so far. This volume collects tracks from Columbia, Date and related labels. Chock full of great sounds, this volume covers a wide range of styles. Tracey Dey (a wonderful, much underrated artist) is featured here with the punchy "Marching Home", Bernadette Peters has a great track, "Will You Care What's Hap'nin' to Me Baby", and The Orchids', "That Boy is Messin' Up My Mind" is a classic. On the soulful side, there's a soulful, inspired version of "Spanish Harlem" by Laura Nyro and Patti Labelle, and one of the BEST tracks on the disc, Aretha Franklin's "Sweet Bitter Love" (written by Van McCoy). Absolutely goose pimple-inducing greatness!

Other sublime tracks include the Sweet Things' stellar "You're My Lovin' Baby", Dorothy Jones' "Takin' That Long Walk Home", and The Opals' "You Can't Hurt Me No More". These are all, but a few of the awesome tracks on this set. Even for the casual Girl Group fan, I would heartily recommend this disc, because there is a wide variety of the genre represented here. All great stuff. I hope ACE keeps this series going for a long while...it's really the cornerstone of Girl Group CDs on the market today.

Volume 5 of this continuing series compiles 26 tracks of girl-group and assorted femme-pop from the Columbia group of labels, and includes several previously unreleased tracks as collector bait. It's definitely a worthwhile purchase for hard-core genre buffs, but unlike the previous two "Where The Girls Are" volumes, it's only of marginal interest to casual listeners. There are some very good tracks scattered about on this comp to be sure, notably The Pussycats' two very Shangri-la-esque tracks; early efforts from Aretha and Erma Franklin; obscurities from Dorothy Jones and The Sweet Things; and unlikely but worthwhile genre efforts from Nancy Ames, Doris Day and Laura Nyro. But there are no real knockout punches even amongst these good tracks, and many of the other tracks, while perfectly adequate, are ultimately unexceptional.

Of course, there also no real duds here either. This is all professionally written, performed and produced material, with iconic Brill building names like Ellie Greenwich, Jeff Barry, Barry Mann, Cynthia Weil, Shadow Morton, Artie Butler and Bert Berns routinely popping up in the credits. However, this compilation mostly represents their second-tier work -- perfectly respectable stuff that will appeal to genre fanatics, while not really catching hold with a wider listening audience. It's still worth a listen for the curious, but most consumers will find that there are better girl-group compilations out there, including a few earlier volumes in this series.
