Description:

Includes liner notes by Marv Goldberg.
While not even approaching the all-inclusive five-disc box set Frankie Lymon & the Teenagers on Bear Family, For Collectors Only is the next best thing. This Collectables double disc features 47 tracks, including the original Gee recordings of "Why Do Fools Fall in Love?," "I Want You to Be My Girl," and "I`m Not a Juvenile Delinquent" with numerous B-sides, album cuts, and a smattering of Lymon`s solo releases. While the collector will be pleased with the choice and abundance of material, the casual listener should start with the 16-track collection The Very Best of Frankie Lymon & the Teenagers released in 1998 on Rhino. ~ Al Campbell
