LOST & FOUND GIRL SOUNDS

VA - One Kiss Can Lead To Another Girl Group Sounds Lost And Found [2005]  (4 x CD's)

Girl groups have enchanted humankind since the era of the ancient Greeks, when legend has it the Sirens attempted to lure wayfarers Odysseus and Jason to their fates; Persephone's chanteuses would eventually even lose a battle of the bands to the Muses. A couple millennia later, female singers would become a dominant force in the pop and rock of the ?60s, the era anthologized on this four-disc, 120-track collection from Rhino.  Ah, girl groups. Who doesn't like them? Especially if they're the teeny-bopper, bubble-gum classics from the 1960s. This compilation of girl-group sounds will enable you to relive a past era when chiffon dresses and hair done up in beehives were all the rage. If, like me, you didn't get to experience this music from the fairer gender firsthand, then it will help you realize a unique genre of 60s pop music. Many of the musical gems in this collection were either songs that were passed over by radio stations, or B-side tunes that didn't chart well and were rarely heard; a few were chart toppers or otherwise fared well on the hit parade. In either case, these short, mostly 2-1/2-minute-long mini soap operas (mostly B-sides or released on obscure labels) were largely responsible for defining the unique girl-pop sound that was so popular back in the day. The "Brill Building/Hit Factory" treatment can be heard in many of these tunes.

A note about sound quality: most of the songs in this collection were transferred directly from the original three-track master tapes, with a few transferred from vinyls or acetates when tapes weren't available. While some of these tracks are in stereo, little remastering of any kind was performed. This means you'll hear each song exactly as it sounded when it first hit the airwaves and record stores. Certainly, any remastering of this collection would have destroyed the unique "ambiance" inherent in these recordings. Kudos to Rhino for leaving them alone!

Rhino really outdid themselves on this collection! If you like 60s girl-pop music from such groups and singers then you'll want to indulge in this collection. Highly recommend it if you want to live or relive 60s girl pop in all its glory, from the first notes of its childhood to the last chords of its maturity. "One Kiss Leads to Another" is one collection you won't want to miss! (Amazon)
