3 out of 5 stars OK cd but not exactly what I was looking for.......2007-07-13

I wanted a really upbeat mix from the 60s and even though the songs on this cd aren't bad, most of them are slower which wasn't what I was looking for for myself.

5 out of 5 stars the ultimate rock and roll collection of the 50's.......2007-05-15

A very good mix of songs and artists. Good to listen while travelling.

5 out of 5 stars Tarot Card Collector.......2006-07-10

I loved adding these to my collection. The 50s theme is delightful. I sent a deck of these to my sister as part of a 50s birthday package. She said, "Sorry I haven't worked much with tarot for some time but I'll give them a try." She found the cards,instruction book, and recipes to be delightful. I feel these are a prize for collectors and a great gift.

5 out of 5 stars Another great CD.......2006-06-30

It was a 50th anniv. gift. The couple enjoyed the music and then danced to the music.

5 out of 5 stars The best single CD of 50s Rock. Well worth the price........2003-05-12

The best single CD of 50s Rock, and 25 songs too! Well worth the price.

All songs are original hits by original artists.

Of 55 CDs of 1950s songs that I own, this is easily the best.

1/4/06 Update: Whoever put this collection together did more than simply pick songs based on sales charts, because two of my personal favorites that didn't chart very high ("Love Potion No. 9" and "Shout") are included.

4 out of 5 stars Great CD - Very happy with purchase.......2007-07-01

With the exception of 'I Really Love You' (I don't remember this one) I'm happy with the rest of the songs. The only thing they're missing are the hiss and pop of the old 45's. These are from the early 60 and the chart numbers (on the back of the case) show they were all in the top 30, mand 10 or higher. I'm going to wear the grooves out on this CD :-)

5 out of 5 stars Oldies.......2007-05-15

The CD was everything I wanted and more you hear the song's a fraction of the time on the radio

5 out of 5 stars Hard to find 45's on CD.......2007-04-07

This is a really great CD!! I didn't know how to find these songs without my old 45's. The CD was in excellent condition and delivered on time as promised.

5 out of 5 stars Great CD.......2007-01-17

Along with the one song I've been looking for, this has a lot of great songs.

5 out of 5 stars A Lot of Quality for a Bargain Price.......2006-08-01

I received the 45's On CD Vol 2: 1961-1964, and already looking for more of these lost gems. Some of the songs I had on 45's which had worn with age and use. Now I can have the songs I grew up with forever on CD. Love it!! Bring out more of 'em.

Customer Reviews:

4 out of 5 stars There's a Moon Out Tonight..........2007-06-01

This is a wonderful collection for those who remember the term "golden oldies". There are plenty of memories--whether real or perceived--in this extensive set. The perfect musical gift for that 60 year-old uncle you never thought could have been cool once. If you liked the soundtrack for "American Graffiti", this is right up your street.

5 out of 5 stars outstanding.......2007-03-09

covers all the best doo wop ever made I could't have made it better myself

4 out of 5 stars The Only Doo-Wop collection you'll ever need.......2007-02-16

I ordered this for my husband's birthday. Now he plays it in his truck on the way to work. It's a fabulous selection of all the great songs he grew up with! Service was excellent. Many thanks - I'll order again from Amazon!

Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars Awesome......As Always!!!!!!!.......2007-06-27

Eric Records has done it again!!!! Volume 10 of the Hard to Find 45's series just might be the best one so far!!! So many rare gems like "Roses are Red My Love" by the You Know Who Group, "If You Gotta Make a Fool of Somebody" by James Ray, the stereo mix of "She's About A Mover" by the Sir Douglas Quintet and "Ruby Duby Du" by Tobin Mathews and Co. All I've got to do now is pick up Vol. 9 and I'll be set!

3 out of 5 stars Not as good as the others.......2007-06-27

Everytime it's probably more difficult to come up with follow-ups in
long series and still try be a 5 star CD. This Eric series has been
first class all over but this latest edition (Vol. 10) does not hold
"rare" or hard to get songs. Most of these can be found on ACE's
wonderful TEENAGE CRUSH series. There are only a few highlights like
Jerry Wallace (Ther She Goes) and Barry Young (One Has My Name...)
but the rest has been released before on other 50's & 60's compilations.

5 out of 5 stars Welcome back, "Hard To Find 45's on CD"!.......2007-06-12

With the declining sales and profitibility of music on CD, the mega-music companies that hold the rights to much of early and classic rock music are less and less interested in offering product of all but the most well-known and expectedly financially advantageous music from rock music's genesis. Disappointingly, even some of the independents that used to feed the die-hard fans and collectors have pulled in the reins on dredging up and reissuing the long-lost tunes that once were the staple of a.m. radio. While there may be technical issues with getting some of this remaining music on CD in quality form, thankfully there are still a few companies that satisfy the salivating collectors. After a five-year hiatus, Eric Records, the big little reissue company, sends two more volumes of its extraordinary "Hard To Find 45's on CD" roaring into the marketplace. This volume, tenth in the series, serves up a generous 24 tracks with nearly half of them making their CD debut. Among these virgin-to-CD tracks are Barry Young's Dean Martinesque "One Has My Name", Andrea Carroll's "It Hurts To Be Sixteen" and "Roses Are Red My Love from the "You Know Who Group". So the claim made a few years back by one of the then most notable reissue companies that virtually everything of that era worth reissuing was already out there, just wasn't, and still isn't, true. Beyond the appearance of new-to-CD tracks, adding to the appeal of this collection are tunes seldom found elsewhere on CD, and almost certainly, not of this quality. Notable in this category are Dale and Grace's follow-up hit "Stop and Think It Over" and "Talk To Me" from Sunny and the Sunglows. The revelations don't stop here either, as there are the stereo debut of Sir Douglas Quintet's "She's About A Mover" and the original versions of Donnie Brooks' "Mission Bell", Jerry Wallace's "There She Goes" and Adam Wade's "Take Good Care of Her". When all is said and done, this CD is jam-packed with goodies to satiate both the seasoned collector and casual listener. In keeping with Eric Records' usual high standards, the 12-page liner notes booklet contains backround info on each of the included acts and all the tracks are very clean sounding with many in stereo (tracks 2,8,10-12,14,22-24 in particular). While some have been lifted from vinyl, considerable effort has gone into presenting them in their best possible sonic state. If any fault must be found, there is an error in the liner notes regarding Dale and Grace. The duo of Jimmy Dale Gordon and Grace Sattenfield referred to here are not the Dale Houston and Grace Broussard that recorded in the early 60's. This "reinvented" Dale and Grace that run the D & G Ministries have hijacked the original duo's moniker and, while not claiming to be the original artists, capitalize on the confusion it causes. But as far as this CD is concerned, one is hard-pressed to find a better executed "oldies" collection (but there is still volume nine in this series to be considered!). Bravo to Eric! And with apologies to Andrea True, "More, More, More"!

4 out of 5 stars Discover some hidden gems in this eclectic collection of early sixties Billboard Hot 100 pop hits........2007-04-23

Eric Records is at it again. They have just released two more volumes of their popular "Hard To Find 45's on CD" series. Volume 10 features two dozen tunes from the years 1960-1965. Collectors should be quite pleased with the opportunity to latch on to digitally remastered versions of some long forgotten favorites as well as to sample a number of songs from the lower reaches of the Hot 100 they might not have even heard before. However, as Eric continues to mine the more obscure stuff you must be prepared for a few disappointments. For me, "Hard to Find 45's On CD: Vol 10" turns out to be a bit of a mixed bag. I was extremely pleased to find Jimmy Clanton's classic hit "Venus In Blue Jeans" in this collection. This is certainly among my very favorite tunes from this period as is Sunny & the Sunglows superb rendition of Little Willie John's "Talk To Me" which also appears here. You may or may not be familiar with James Gilreath's 1963 hit "Little Band of Gold". This is a terrific tune that is extremely hard to come by and I was happy to see that Eric managed to include it here. If you are a fan of group harmony then you will also enjoy the newly re-mastered version of the Castelles 1962 hit "So This Is Love". For my money, Adam Wade is one of the most underrated performers of the rock and roll era. You will find the original version of "Take Good Care of Her" in this collection. What a great record! And for the first time ever you can enjoy a stereo recording of the Sir Douglas Quintet's 1965 hit "She's About A Mover". In the category of pleasant surprises I would recommend to you a pair of tunes. My favorite has to be Andrea Carroll's "It Hurts To Be Sixteen", a real period piece from the summer of '63. I would also recommend for your consideration Trade Martin's 1962 entry "That Stranger Used To Be My Girl". Nice tune!
As is the case with the other volumes in this series "Hard To Find 45's on CD: Vol 10" includes a thoughtful 12 page booklet featuring information and photos on each of the artists as well as Billboard chart information for each tune. The remastering job is outstanding. As I indicated earlier I did find 3 or 4 "clunkers" on this one and that is what prevented me from rating this collection five stars. Nevertheless I do appreciate the fact that Eric continues to make these extremely rare recordings available to us. At the end of the day this is a disc I can recommend to both the serious collector and to those who are simply interested in exploring the music of this era.

Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars Great remastering! Fine compilation.......2007-05-25

Whether due to tracking down original master tapes, or just plain old engineering skill, the tracks on this compilation have a warmth and vibrancy seldom encountered on similar reissues. The audio experience is similar to listening to mint 45s through a great system. If you have any interest at all in the material, don't hestitate to acquire this disc!

5 out of 5 stars The late 1950's come alive with this entertaining new collection from Eric records. .......2007-04-27

They are songs you just don't hear on the radio anymore. Even the weekend specialty shows that for many years featured the great rock 'n roll and doo wop sounds of the 1950's have now largely disappeared from the airwaves. Thankfully, the folks at Eric records have once again come to the rescue with a great new collection featuring an impressive variety of genres from this period. "Hard to Find 45's on CD, Vol. 9: 1957-1959" offers up 23 of the most distinctive and hard to find records of this period. Many of these songs were by artists who were one hit wonders while others were largely regional hits. In any case, this is a collection of songs you just won't find anywhere else.
If you are a big fan of the rockabilly sound you will certainly enjoy hearing Ray Smith's "Rockin' Little Angel" and Carl Mann's pulsating rendition of "Mona Lisa". Those who dig instrumentals can savor the great sound of Dave "Baby" Cortez's #1 hit "The Happy Organ" as well as Santo and Johnny's "Tear Drop" from 1959. It was fun to hear Huey "Piano" Smith and the Clowns classic New Orleans tune "Rockin' Pnuemonia and the Boogie Woogie Flu" which is also included here. Fans of great group harmony will not be disappointed either. You will surely appreciate the lovingly remastered version of The Aquatones great hit "You". One song many people have probably forgotten about is the Four Esquires "Hideaway". If you are a fan of the Four Lads then you are certain to love this one. It is probably my favorite tune on this disc. And there are some songs here that just don't seem to fit into any particular category but are highly enjoyable nonetheless. Among them is the great Art and Dotty Todd recording of "Chanson D'amour" from 1957 and Jody Reynolds Top Ten smash "Endless Sleep". There were also a number of tunes that I had never heard before that turned out to be very pleasant surprises. "Philadelphia USA" by the Nu Tornados features the string band sound while The Bluenotes "I Don't Know What It Is" turns out to be a pretty fair doo wop tune. Also, be sure to check out "String of Trumpets" from the Trumpeteers and Jivin' Gene and the Jokers "Breakin' Up Is Hard Do". Outstanding stuff!
"Hard To Find 45's on CD, Vol. 9: 1957-1959" comes with a fascinating 12 page booklet featuring biographical information and photos on just about all of these artists as well as Billboard chart information on each of these songs. As always the remastering job is first rate. If you have never purchased a collection from Eric before I urge you to give this one a try. Over the past several years this company has emerged as the top reissue label in the U.S. Highly recommended!

    I'm part of a younger generation and I originally ordered this CD for my mom. Once I listened to it, I immediately loved it myself! Great hits by these guys...many of which I can recall my mother playing when I was a child.

    5 out of 5 stars OLDIES GROUP.......2007-01-20

    4 out of 5 stars Together since 1952...clearly the most enduring group in the history of rhythm and blues.......2007-01-18

    It all started at Thornton Township High School in Harvey, Il back in 1952 when five friends decided to form a vocal group they dubbed the El-Rays. Their initial release on Chicago's legendary Chess label "Darling I Know" was a pretty fair record but unfortunately it went nowhere. Shortly thereafter Chess dropped the El-Rays. Undaunted, the group changed its name to the Dells and in 1956 they began cutting some great sides for Chicago's Vee-Jay records. Over the next few years the group would record a number of terrific doo-wop tunes including the original versions of "Oh, What A Night" and "Stay In My Corner". Several of these records sold quite well in the Midwest but none of them ever managed to crack the Billboard Hot 100. For the next decade the group paid its dues and maintained a very busy schedule playing small clubs and serving as the opening act for a number of big name performers. The groups hard work and perserverance would finally pay off when in 1967 Phil Chess decided to give the group another shot. Having morphed into a terrific "soul" group, the Dells would justify the Chess brothers faith in them by producing some of the finest soul sounds of that era. "Ultimate Collection" highlights many of those fabulous recordings at Chess as well as some fine examples of the groups later work at other labels.
    Now there are any number of excellent Dells collections available. Certainly, the best of the bunch has to be the 2 disc "Anthology" released on Hip-O back in 1999. That set includes a number of those early Vee-Jay dop-wop recordings. If you are primarily interested the 1960's and 1970's Chess recordings then "The Millenium Collection: The Best of the Dells" would suit you just fine. I chose "The Ultimate Collection" because I wanted to sample some of the groups later work on Mercury and other labels which I had actually never heard before. "Ultimate Collection" features more than a dozen of the Dells magnificent recordings at Chess. Among my favorites has to be the groups 1968 smash "There Is". This is 1960's soul at its absolute best, sort of Motown with a bit more bite. A great record! I also enjoyed hearing the digitally remastered versions of the 1969 version of "Oh, What A Nite" as well as the great medley "I Can Sign A Rainbow/Love Is Blue". And most will certainly remember the tune that qualifies as the Dells only bona fide gold record, 1973's "Give Your Baby A Standing Ovation". I grow fonder of that song each time I play it. As I indicated earlier, I chose "Ultimate Collection" because I really wanted to sample some of the groups later work which I actually not heard before. And while I did enjoy tunes like 1975's "We Got To Get Our Thing Together" and "Our Love" I found they did not quite measure up to those great Chess recordings. Having said that, I was very pleased that "Ultimate Collection" also includes the group's 1991 R&B hit "A Heart Is A House For Love". Now that's more like it! This tune was featured in the motion picture "The Five Heartbeats", a film loosely based on the life and times of the Dells. "A Heart Is A House For Love" would become the group's biggest hit in years and vault all the way to #13 on the Billboard R&B chart.
    Incredibly, some 55 years after the group first got together, the Dells continue to perform and make records. You can catch up what's happening with the guys on their website. The Dells are the recipients of the Rhythm and Blues Foundation's "Pioneer Hall of Fame Award" and in 2004 they were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. The Dells really are a remarkable story. They are the only vocal group in the history of the Billboard charts to have hit records in five different decades! So whether you are a big fan or just want to sample some great soul sounds then "Ultimate Collection" is a pretty smart choice. Included is a nifty 16 page booklet that lists chart information on each tune as well as an informative biography of the group. Recommended.

    3 out of 5 stars "Dissapointed".......2005-10-29

    I bought this album for one specific track.But to my dissapointment,when the CD arrived,that track was not on the disc.The song title on your sample page is "I MISS YOU" which is totally different from the track on the CD I bought.Is there any way you could listen to the track on your site and give me the correct name of the song? The CD is entitled THE DELLS-Ultimate Collection.I would really appreciate it.Thank You.

    5 out of 5 stars The Dells Are Great!.......2005-10-10

    I love the Dells. They're great soulful R & B singers with a touch of the gospel infused in their singing. Their songs always sound like they're coming from deep in their soul. I just love...love...love them. I can't say it enough. Every song that they sing is beautiful and touches the heart. I love Stay in My Corner, I Miss You, My Pretending Days Are Over, Always Together...well to tell the truth I like all of their songs.

    A vocal talent of astonishing range and emotion, Tony Williams led the Platters through nearly two dozen Top 40 pop hits, starting in 1955. The Platters drew inspiration from predecessors such as the Mills Brothers, yet had a style all their own that came to be treasured by the first generation of rock & roll and doo-wop fans. This set features the group's Top 10 smashes "Smoke Gets in Your Eyes," "The Great Pretender," "Only You," "(You've Got) The Magic Touch," and several others. Shy of the two-disc Magic Touch: An Anthology, this is about as good a Platters best-of as you can find right now--and at a budget price, no less. --Daniel Durchholz

    4 out of 5 stars Contains the seven biggest hits, but not all the favorites........2005-05-09

    Now thought of as a "doo wop" group because of the beat and the finger-snapping rhythms, the Platters, in the 1950s, set the scene for rock and roll, ushering in a new music which incorporated gospel and soul sounds never before part of the mainstream. The first all-black group to become universally popular, they influenced pop music for fifteen years and opened doors to the many black doo-wop groups which succeeded them into the 1960s.

    Of the several "Best of the Platters" albums now available, this collection contains most of their biggest hits, including "Only You," their first #1 hit on the R and B chart, which then became #5 on the pop chart, when it crossed over; "The Great Pretender," their next hit, which was #1 on the pop charts; and "Magic Touch," "My Prayer" (another #1 pop hit), "Twilight Time," "I'm Sorry," and "Smoke Gets in Your Eyes."

    It does not include several other memorable Platters songs, such as "On My Word of Honor," "You'll Never Know," "If I Didn't Care," or "To Each His Own." These songs, along with the previously mentioned favorites, are all available on one album if you search on Amazon for B000200Q2U, "The Very Best of the Platters."

    The wonderful Tony Williams sets the pace as tenor soloist, with a voice ranging from a soft whisper to a soaring vibrato. The harmonies are mellow, the timing is superb, and the arrangements are terrific. The back-up voices are strong, and the album has been remastered to remove background "fuzz." Trend setters whose influence was felt for fifteen years, the Platters are an indelible part of the high school memories of a whole generation from the 1950s and 1960s. Mary Whipple

    5 out of 5 stars excellant.......2005-05-02

    I found that the album by the platters was great to hear and the sound was excellant I have been looking in stores all over my area(Boston) to no avail. It was great to find it on your web site.
    I will contiue to search your webb site for other items in the future. Thanks for the wonderful memories. tony

    3 out of 5 stars Not generous.......2003-12-09

    Only 11 songs in this CD, Polygram of USA is not generous to consumer. As one reviewer stated, there are rooms for more songs. I can easily named some of these, such as Remember When, You never never know, Enchanted and I'll never smile again etc. Here I like to recommend another Platters' CD titled "Universal Masters Collection [ORIGINAL RECORDING REMASTERED] [IMPORT]", which is the best sounding Platters CD I've heard (I've already owned 4 greatest hits CDs of The Platters). This is the only one you can find stereo versions (genuine stereo) of 'Smoke gets in your eyes', 'Twilight Time', 'I'll never smile again', 'Harbour Lights' and 'Red sails in the Sunset', plus 'I'm just a dacing partner','I give you my word', all 17 songs in one CD which is preferable to this 11 songs collection.

    4 out of 5 stars The Best of The Platters.......2002-05-30

    The Best of The Platters did'nt have the songs on it that the LP
    had back in the fifties.But it has most of the ones that I like.
    The cd is worth the price and the wait.

    It's a very good album, especially if you don't have his other albums because it's mostly a compilation of other albums, with a few "new" ones thrown in, like "Devil or Angel".

    5 out of 5 stars Great music.......2007-05-18

    I love the music on the CD, did not find myself happy, when I found the same product after my purchase for less money with other mail order companys, will double check Amazon's price in future orders.

    5 out of 5 stars Polished performance.......2007-04-07

    If you like Doo-Wop I highly recommend giving this cd a listen. They have a way of re-doo-ing, these songs that is really smooth. Close your eyes and let it take you back. The harmonies, the music itself, is top notch. If you've never heard Kenny Vance and the Planotones you owe yourself a listen. You won't be disappointed. I'm not an expert, but I have 2 cd's by them, and I am impressed.
