Liner Note Author: Jerry Greene.
With a title like Memories of Times Square Record Shop, you wouldn`t think that this Collectables series would have such broad appeal, but it compiles dozens of rare doo wop singles -- most of which are excellent -- that have changed hands for substantial sums. Obsessive doo wop fans won`t be 100 percent satisfied, of course (these are, after all, budget releases), but the beauty of these discs is that the music can be enjoyed by the informed and merely interested alike. The first volume features the Elchords` "Peppermint Stick," the Pyramids` "Hot Dog Dooly Wah," the Magnificent 4`s "The Closer You Are," the Veltones` "Now," and the Excellents` "You Baby You." ~ Andy Kellman
