This best-of collection features 13 all-time favorite hits by The Crystals.
The Crystals were a crucial cog in Phil Spector`s mighty girl-group machine. To listen to "And Then He Kissed Me" is to hear the precise pop moment when coy innocence crumbled and gave way ever so slightly to the adult onrush of carnality. The sugary vocals of Darlene Love and company, backed by the full-scale Spector sound, are almost girlish enough to make you believe that the pattern of pop music hadn`t just been irrevocably stirred up. However, the cumulative effect of the aforementioned song--along with the curiously sadomasochistic overtones of the Goffin/King smash "He Hit Me (It Felt Like a Kiss)" and the bad-boy adulation of "He`s a Rebel"--should be more than enough to mark the musical history being made here.

    The Crystals - NOT

    bxirish2 from Bronx, NY, Sep 14, 2009

    I was so disappointed in this CD. The group on the CD does not sound anything like the great records that the Crystals recorded. I would not recommed this CD to anyone.

    Not Original

    crash4169 from Sullivan County, PA, Nov 14, 2007

    Album cover illustrated shows four (4) "Crystals" ...rec'd one that has only 3 "Crystals" on it. Didn't register to me until I played it that the recordings are NOT the original recordings by the Crystals. In fact, I'm not even sure that it is the Crystals re-recording their original songs....it could be any "Girl Group" singing the songs. I think Overstock should clearly state whether an "oldies album" is ORIGINAL RECORDINGS or NOT ORIGINAL RECORDINGS.
