The Shirelles - Discography 1958-1967 (Ace and Jasmine Remasters) (13 x CDs) [2023]

The Shirelles were an American girl group formed in Passaic, New Jersey in 1957. They consisted of schoolmates Shirley Owens (later Shirley Alston Reeves), Doris Coley (later Doris Kenner-Jackson), Addie "Micki" Harris (later Addie Harris McFadden), and Beverly Lee.

Founded in 1957 for a talent show at their high school, they were signed by Florence Greenberg of Tiara Records. Their first single, "I Met Him on a Sunday", was released by Tiara and licensed by Decca Records in 1958. After a brief and unsuccessful period with Decca, they went with Greenberg to her newly formed company, Scepter Records. Working with Luther Dixon, the group rose to fame with "Tonight's the Night". After a successful period of collaboration with Dixon and promotion by Scepter, with seven top 20 hits, the Shirelles left Scepter in 1966.

The Shirelles have been described as having a "naive schoolgirl sound" that contrasted with the sexual themes of many of their songs. Several of their hits used strings and baião-style music. They have been credited with launching the girl group genre, with much of their music reflecting the genre's essence. Their acceptance by both white and black audiences, predating that of the Motown acts, has been noted as reflecting the early success of the Civil Rights Movement. They have received numerous honors, including the Pioneer Award from the Rhythm and Blues Foundation, as well as being inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1996 and named one of the 100 Greatest Artists of All Time by Rolling Stone in 2004. Two of their songs, "Will You Love Me Tomorrow" and "Tonight's the Night", were selected by Rolling Stone on its list of the greatest songs of all time. In 2022, their debut album Tonight's the Night was selected by the Library of Congress for preservation in the National Recording Registry as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant".

The Beatles were large admirers, according to George Harrison, "We always loved those American girl groups, like the Shirelles and the Ronettes, so yeah we developed our harmonies from trying to come up with an English, male version of their vocal feel." Their debut album, Please Please Me included cover versions of two songs by the Shirelles, "Baby It's You", and "Boys", and a third song from the album, "P.S. I Love You" was, according to John Lennon, Paul's attempt at "trying to write a "Soldier Boy" like the Shirelles."

There has never been a fully comprehensive discography of their entire recorded output from 1958-1967 with the latest remasters all in one place.

Their two Greatest Hits albums have never been released on CD, only vinyl and 8-track cartridge in 1963 and 1967, so I recreated these from remastered CD tracks from various sources. What makes them interesting and collectable is that they each contain a few tracks not released on any of their official studio albums.

01 The Shirelles - Tonight's the Night (1960)

02 The Shirelles - The Shirelles Sing to Trumpets and Strings (1961)

03 The Shirelles & King Curtis - Give a Twist Party (1962)

04 The Shirelles - Baby It's You (1962)

05 The Shirelles - Greatest Hits (1963)

06 The Shirelles - Foolish Little Girl (1963)

07 The Shirelles - It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World (1963)

08 The Shirelles - The Shirelles Sing the Golden Oldies (1964)

09 The Shirelles - Swing the Most (1965)

10 The Shirelles - Hear & Now (1965)

11 The Shirelles - Greatest Hits Vol. II (1967)

12 The Shirelles - Spontaneous Combustion (1967)

13 The Shirelles - As, Bs, Hits and Rarities from the Queens of the Girl Group Sound (1958-1962) Jasmine (2021)

Their entire discography from 1958-1967 includes all the latest Ace and Jasmine remasters now organized per album in the correct chronological and album running order, 13 CDs in all.

Enjoy!
