4.0 out of 5 stars From the utterly indispensible to the completely forgettable, January 7, 2002
By A Customer
The 21 songs on this album range from those which are utterly indispensible to any oldies collection, to those which are completely forgettable (and almost completely forgotten, though some may have been regional hits). Some of the songs (e.g., "Popsicles and Icicles" by the Murmaids) are widely available on other, better collections. Check the track list before you buy to see if there are tracks you must have that aren't on a CD you already own.

Sound quality is good enough, but, for whatever reason, most of these tracks sound like stereo (or in some cases, mono) versions of the original AM radio mixes. More careful remastering (as Rhino does with its oldies collections) would have resulted in some selections sounding less shrill.

5.0 out of 5 stars More great hard-to-find 45's, January 30, 2003
By Zub "Zubenelgenubi" (North Plainfield, NJ) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)      
Volume two continues Eric Records' "Hard To Find 45s..." series culling non-British invasion (with the possibly arguable exception of the Irish Bachelors) charting singles from the early 60s. While all of these tunes were top-30 and about half have appeared at least occasionally in other CD reissues, there is a treasure of seldom- and never-found on CD 45's here. Among the more commonplace tracks are Clyde McPhatter's "Lover Please", Little Peggy March's "I Will Follow Him" and the Murmaids' "Popsicles and Icicles", all top-10 hits. Nestled in amongs these more familiar tracks however are lost gems such as Joe Dowell's "Wooden Heart", Richard Chamberlain's "Three Stars Will Shine Tonight", the theme from his Dr. Kildare show, Paul and Paula's "Young Lovers", their follow-up to the chart-topping "Hey Paula" and Julie Rogers, a British artist whose "The Wedding" is hardly the stuff of the "British Invasion". One truly obscure track, "Little Red Rented Rowboat", a top-30 tune from Joe Dowell whose above-mentioned number one hit is also here, makes its CD debut in this piece. While other CDs of rare 45's are available, Eric does it better than most with the highest quality sound quality and well-researched backround info on the included tracks and artists. Half of the songs here (tracks 1,2,4,7,10,12,13,19-21) appear in stereo with the remainder in clean mono. In every way, this is an outstanding collection of familiar yet not often found tunes interspersed with lots of true rarities from the more innocent golden era of early rock and roll. This piece is highly recommended for both the casual listener and avid collector. Eric records is rapidly setting the standard for such reissues.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Edition To A CD Oldies Collection, August 26, 2001
By A Customer
The 21 tracks on this CD were remastered very well. The songs sound like I remember them except with the crisp CD quality not available with small AM radio speakers. The title is a bit misleading though. Most of the tracks are readily available in other CD collections. If you're like me, you want to purchase the CD for the few that aren't.
