DOO WOP
VA - Teen-Age Dreams, The White Group Sound Vol. 01 - Vol. 04 [1995 - 2002] (4 x CDs)
The Teen-Age Dreams: The White Group Sound series, spanning four volumes released by Farmer Records and Teenie Weenie Records, is a lovingly assembled tribute to the tender, harmony-rich world of white vocal groups from the late 1950s and early 1960s. Across 125 tracks, it captures a parallel thread in doo-wop history, where regional acts and forgotten studio hopefuls poured heart and harmony into every groove.
Volume 1 opens the series with 32 tracks that shimmer with innocence and lo-fi charm. Dreamy ballads and earnest group vocals evoke school dances, transistor radios, and the emotional pull of teenage longing. Volume 2 follows with 33 selections that expand the emotional palette, adding upbeat charmers and deeper regional cuts, all sequenced with care and remastered to preserve their analog warmth.
Teenie Weenie Records picks up the baton for Volumes 3 and 4, diving deeper into obscurity. Volume 3 offers 30 tracks that lean into tighter harmonies and more adventurous arrangements, with playful stompers and wistful ballads from groups whose names rarely made it past local airwaves. Volume 4 closes the series with another 30 gems, including novelty numbers and unreleased acetates that showcase the genre’s diversity and emotional depth.
Together, these four volumes form a collector-grade archive of white group harmony, celebrating not just the hits, but the heartfelt efforts of young voices chasing a dream. It’s a series built on sincerity, sequenced with love, and tuned to the quiet magic of a bygone era. (B)
