2014 two CD collection containing 50 slabs of tear-stained wax; evocations of teen angst couched in the simple poetry of raw emotion. 37 of the sides make their debut here. This set concentrates on the Doo Wop that label head Ray Dobard recorded from 1950 onwards.Frank Zappa described the Doo Wop on Cruisin' with Ruben & the Jets as 'greasy love songs of cretin simplicity' and he could almost be talking about the songs we present here. Extremely rare - these singles would set you back a lot of money - if you could find them offered for sale. This is a treasure trove for Doo Wop collectors - you might recognize a few of the artists' names, but they are probably not who you think they are.
- GREASY LOVE SONGS OF TEENAGE ROMANCE, REGRET, HOPE
