BOBBY VEE

Bobby Vee - The Singles Collection (mono 45's) [2006] (3 x CDs)

 It's about time that Bobby Vee, one of the most talented and successful of the early '60s teen idols, received something approaching the box set treatment.

Hugely Successful, Buddy Holly Influenced, Teen Idol. Bobby Vee was Rarely Out of the UK Or Us Charts in the Pre 'beat Group' Years of the Early 60s. This Complete Collection on 3cds, 1959-1977, featuring all the Hits, the US A-sides and B-sides, UK Only Singles, Rare Material, Tracks Never Released on CD and Rare Italian Language Version of Singles.

Scream! I loved Bobby Vee and still do. This has to be one of the best back-catalogue releases in years. It is especially good to hear Stranger In Your Arms and All You Gotta Do Is Touch Me after all these years - other than on my much loved, scratchy old 45's. A big Thank You to EMI, Bob Celli, and of course to Mr. V, himself. I would bet a lot of Bobby Vee's fans never thought that his material was so diverse - even after hearing the great body of work represented by his many LPs. I have been playing this 3-disc set repeatedly and will probably never stop hearing new things each time. His own exceptional writing talent gets a good showcase on this set, and - by the way - one hears a lot more of that in the recordings that have been coming out of his own Rockhouse Productions over the past couple decades.  I am particularly taken by the Bread-like "Something to Say" from 1971 - another Vee original. Who is that playing the solo guitar licks in the background? It almost sounds like James Griffin's handiwork, although it's probably Dean Parks. This CD set presents a compelling look at a great talent and would be essential for fans of Bobby Vee and the U.S. songwriting and recording scene throughout the 60's and 70's.  (Amazon)
