Search - Bobby Darin :: Capitol Collectors Series

Not quite as good as other titles in the Cap. Coll. Series

"I mainly bought this album due to the fact that other items in the Capitol Collector's Series have original studio outtakes included between the songs, however, Bobby Darin's only included very limited audio of that sort. Although, hearing him warm up before the track Goodbye Charlie was a bit of a treat for me. The version of Wait By The Water was different than what I'd heard before on another Capitol release, so the alternate take was also a plus. My favorite track would have to be Sermon of Samson - which is a nice rockin' bible tale and Mr. Darin sounds quite a bit like Elvis on this particular recording. Overall, this is a good cd, however, due to the more obscure tunes on it, it is not an album that I would want to start a Bobby Darin collection with."
