CD ReviewsGET THE SERIES AND COMPLETE YOUR COLLECTION erniegarcia3 | 11/01/2002 (5 out of 5 stars) "I HAD BEEN LOOKING FOR THE RECORD "TEENAGE CLEOPATRA" BY TRACY DEY. IT WAS POPULAR HERE IN SOUTHERN CA. IN THE MID 60'S.MOST OF THE SONGS IN THIS SERIES MIGHT NOT HAVE ALL BEEN TOP TWENTY HITS, BUT IT WAS THE STUFF THE RADIO WAS PLAYING AND WE LIKED IT. TODAY'S OLDIES STATIONS ONLY PLAY WHAT WAS TOP TWENTY BUT WE MISS THE OTHER RECORDS JUST AS MUCH!THEY JUST WEREN'T PUSHED INTO THE MAINSTREAM OR MISMANAGED. AN EXAMPLE WOULD BE ANNETTE FUNICELLO'S BEAUTIFUL BALAD "TALK TO ME, BABY" (WRITTEN BY PAUL ANKA).BUY THE WHOLE SERIES AND YOU'LL DISCOVER ALOT OF GOOD MUSIC THAT YOU'VE NEVER HEARD, IF YOU DIDN'T LIVE IN THE 50'S AND 60'S.GO FOR IT. MAN, IT'S WHAT AMERICAN POP WAS ALL ABOUT!" Hidden Treasure Kutztown Jim | Kutztown, PA USA | 01/06/2005 (4 out of 5 stars) "I am attracted to collections like this. I started listening to popular music about 1968. The only way I heard music made before 1968 was from hearing it later on oldies stations. As another reviewer said, the oldies stations usually play only the "big hits". That means there are hundreds or thousands of early oldies that we never hear on the radio anymore. Some of these never-played songs are like hidden treasures, waiting to be discovered by someone willing to dig. That's where a collection like this comes in. I knew I would not be wasting my money on this disc because of "Make Believe" by Wind and "Smoke Gets In Your Eyes" by Blue Haze, favorites from my teen years. Even "Tennessee Bird Walk", which I hated as a 14-year old in 1970, I now enjoy. For me, the hidden treasures on this disc were "Tell Him No" by Dean & Marc and "The Lone Teen Ranger" by Jerry Landis. "Teenage Cleopatra" was OK, as were a few others. The worst song on the disc is "Baby Sittin' Boogie". I thought I was getting the Buzz Clifford(?) version, which is funny, but this version is just awful. So if you insist on loving every track on a disc, don't buy this one. But if you are interested in finding hidden treasures, go for it. You are bound to really like at least a few of these obscure songs." GREAT Thomas J. Wynn | STOCKTON, N.S.W.
