A reissue of a reissue, this 1995 Collectables package is the same as EMI`s 1991 Legendary Masters entry on this New York vocal group from the early 1960s. Hits like the title track, "He`s Got the Power" and the original version of "Do-Wah-Diddy" are class-A New York rock & roll all the way, and lead singer Brenda Reid`s chops are as exciting, always making the material more interesting than it sometimes is. Very interesting are the inclusion of the longer unedited versions of "Tell Him" and "He`s Got the Power," both remixed here in true stereo. Though not technically a girl group (they featured a male bass singer in the lineup), the Exciters were one of the best working in the genre. ~ Cub Koda
