The Shangri-Las - Remember [Digipak] *

Artist:

Shangri-Las (The)

UPC:

Description:

Liner Note Author: Dennis Garvey.
The Shangri-Las (sisters Betty Weiss and Mary Weiss and twin sisters Marge Ganser and Mary Anne Ganser) had only a three-year recording career, but between 1964 and 1966 the group had an impressive run on the charts for Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller`s fledgling Red Bird Records, and thanks to the auteur production eccentricities of George "Shadow" Morton, the Shangri-Las` sides don`t sound quite like any other girl group from the era. This two-disc, 38-track set brings together the Shangri-Las` entire output for Red Bird, including the group`s out-of-the-box hit "Remember (Walkin` in the Sand)" from 1964, the iconic "Leader of the Pack" from later that same year, the unsung Leiber & Stoller gem "Bull Dog" from 1965, the magnificent mini-epic "Out in the Streets," also from 1965, and the group`s 1966 remake of Jay & the Americans` 1962 hit "He Cried," as well as several almost hits, B-sides, album tracks, and a half dozen or so live cuts. It adds up to a pretty cool legacy from one of the greatest girl groups of the modern pop era. ~ Steve Leggett
