Music is Great , Liner Notes Stink.......2006-05-31

Good overall collection of tracks, some of which are very hard to find anywhere else, including the Strangeloves, Cat Mother, the Standels, and The Midnighters. The later is not even listed as being charted by Joel Whitburn. God knows where Rhino got this.

The Liner Notes are below par for Rhino. There is no composer information and no dates of the tracks. I had to look those up myself. However, there are nice photos and brief bios of the artists.

Another irritating point, and this cost me a good 30 minutes of time, was the fact that when ripping this to the computer or iPod, the CD insists upon listing "various artists" as the artist on the track. I had to go back and manually change the files in the computer and on iTunes.

Well assembled oldies compilation.......2005-07-25

Its sad that most oldies stations nowadays are turning into exact replicas of the so called "Classic" Rock stations (or at least in my region). Hey, Billy Joel and Boston are all well and good, but oldies? No. Rhino's "Frat Rock" series represent what oldies stations should really be putting into rotation. "Twist & Shout", "Hang on Sloopy", "Surfin' Bird", and "Johnny B. Goode" are amoung the many classics here. The version of Del Shannon's "Do You Want to Dance" here is better than the one contained on the same label's "Greatest Hits". As with all Rhino reissues, the linear notes are both fantastic and informative. Its always interesting to find out about those one-hit wonders whose hit song everyone knew and loved, but had no idea where it was coming from. There are a few flaws, as "Chug-A-Lug" and "Good Old Rock & Roll" are out of place (not bad tunes though). And why not include both parts of "What'd I Say?". Overall, this is a great disc for the casual oldies fan looking for a way to own these hits, and is better than Vol. One (I don't own the second volume, but the selection looks like it'd be the best of the series).

This is the real deal.......2002-11-26

The music is fantastic it brings back memories with each song. Vintage rock n roll..let the good times roll.

Some great 60s' fun rock tunes........2001-06-22

About the only thing I didn't like about this CD was the title. There are some real rock essentials on this Rhino CD: "Twist & Shout" and "Shout" by the Isley Brothers, "Tequila" by the Champs, "Liar, Liar" by the Castaways and my personal favorite, "Surfin' Bird" by the Trashmen, to quote Rhino, "among the most inspiringly deranged sounds ever to emerge from a car's dashboard".

Album Description

This 1993 Sundazed reissue from 1965, is the third Kingsmen chart-stormer, featuring the mega-classic 'Jolly Green Giant'! Along with Kingsmen rant, 'Long Green,' here's the complete killer album, rare single-only bonus cuts 'Since You Been Gone', 'The Wolf Of Manhattan' and 'It's Only The Dog', original liners and x-tra pix!

Customer Reviews:

You heard about the Jolly Green Giant........2005-09-09

This, of course, was the third album by the Kingsmen. It is a typical (for them) mix of a handful of original songs and several covers of recent hits by other performers. The classic hit "Jolly Green Giant" is the best song here, but other noteworthy songs include "Over You", "That's Cool, That's Trash" and "Long Green". The rest of the album consists of mediocre covers of hits by Huey "Piano" Smith, James Brown, Ernie K-Doe, the Isley Brothers, the Wailers, Mel Torme(!) and others. The CD adds three bonus tracks, which were singles released after the group was no longer commercially viable.
