Description:

The Dixie Cups: Rosa Hawkins, Barbara Hawkins, Joan Marie Johnson.
Includes liner notes by Mark Marymont.
Collectables doesn`t have the best reputation in collectors` circles, as many of their early releases were rather shoddy and poor sounding. However, 1999`s The Very Best of the Dixie Cups: Chapel of Love is not only an excellent compilation -- with outstanding sound and informative, well-designed liner notes -- it`s probably the best single-disc Dixie Cups compilation available. Containing both sides of all five of the group`s charting singles alongside other worthy tunes and two previously unreleased bonus tracks (a negligible alternate take of the minor hit "People Say" and an outstanding a cappella version of the spooky classic "Iko Iko" that shows off the girls` New Orleans roots to their best advantage), the album is thorough without getting bogged down in arcane. All but three tracks are in stereo, a great improvement over the sometimes-muddy mono mixes found on many budget compilations, and Chapel of Love: The Very Best of the Dixie Cups should be useful both for devoted fans and casual listeners who want to own the classic title track. ~ Stewart Mason
