CD ReviewsThe Very Best Jan & Dean's Greatest Hits Ronald Van Scherpenzeel | Madrid, Spain | 04/15/2006 (5 out of 5 stars) "As a youngster I collected most of Jan & Dean's LP releases.
Since CD started I always wanted to have a "greatest hits" album by Jan & Dean. I tried many of those available but unluckily they either have only a few with the rest as fillers- up, mostly bad ones, or lots of nonsense with chats between alternate takes that do not have any interest. Finally in 1998 a Dutch record company - Disky - compiled a series of "The Original" dedicated to many other 60's & 70's artists. Most of them are real treasures like this one. Original stereo cuts and the best possible selection among so many Jan & Dean songs. They've picked out 2 or 3 hits from each charted LP and they did not include any of those "bad" recordings with which they filled up their later LP's like covers of folk and protest songs. All but one- Beach Boys' Surfin' Safari - are charted hits including the forgotten and underestimated "Batman" which has never been included in any other compilation. If you are looking for the best Jan & Dean songs, buy this one because they are all there with the real original recordings." |
