Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars Great CD!.......2007-01-16

Loved this CD! The tunes brought back so many good memories for me. I'd recommend it to anyone who grew up in the late 50s and early 60s!

3 out of 5 stars Oh, the Nostalgia..........2005-09-18

It does bring back those old high school memories and it's a great CD to turn up and sing along with in the car! Although I really like the CD, I was a little disappointed to find that several of the cuts were not performed by the original artists. Bummer.

5 out of 5 stars Yet another gem from England's Ace Records.......2004-05-24

In 1995 Ace Records released the first in a series of three discs entitled "Early Girls". As with just about every other Ace disc I have ever purchased this is a top quality compilation. There are great big hits everyone has heard of as well as some lesser known tracks just waiting to be rediscovered. Likewise you will find familiar artists and some you have probably never heard of.
Perhaps the biggest hit among the 28 songs on this disc is 1963's "Easier Said Than Done" by the Essex featuring the great lead voice of Anita Humes. Other chartbusters include "The Name Game" from Shirley Ellis and the Murmaids gigantic hit "Popsicles and Icicles" written by one David Gates who would eventually go one to write a bunch of hits for his own group. Has anyone heard of Bread? Among some of the hit records you might not be as familiar with are the 1956 hit "Eddie My Love" by the Teen Queens and the great Linda Scott with "I've Told Every Little Star". Other tunes you are sure to enjoy are Robin Ward's "Wonderful Summer" and the Aquatones memorable recording of "You". Then there are the real hard-to-find tunes like Carole King's "It Might As Well Rain Until September" and Little Peggy March with "I Wish I Were A Princess." My vote for biggest discovery on this disc was Betty Everett's 1964 recording of "You're No Good" which of course was made famous a decade later by Linda Ronstadt.
As we have come to expect Ace has included an extremely informative 16 page booklet. And the remastering job is absolutely top drawer. Give this one a try and don't be surprised if you go back for more---Volume 2 or 3 that is.

5 out of 5 stars Old gems from the fifties and sixties.......2003-01-28

Old gems from the fifties and sixties

This impressive collection of recordings by female singers, laid down between 1957 and 1963, is the first of three volumes. Few of the ladies featured here had a lot of hits. Skeeter Davis, successful for several years on the country charts, is represented here by I can't stay mad at you, but is best remembered for End of the world.

The set begins with Do wah diddy, a minor American hit for the Exciters which later became a number one hit in Britain and America via Manfred Mann's version. Betty Everett's version of You're no good helped launch her career, but the song became much more successful when covered by the Swinging blue jeans in Britain and (later) Linda Ronstadt in America. Completing an unlucky trio is Earl Jean, who had a top forty American hit with I'm into something good, only to see Herman's hermits cover the song and make it their own. There is nothing wrong with any of the original versions of these songs, leaving us to wonder why they did not have more success.

There are big hits here - It might as well rain until September (Carole King) and I love how you love me (Paris Sisters) were huge hits in both Britain and America. Other huge American hits include The name game (Shirley Ellis, best known in Britain for the clapping song), Dark moon (Bonnie Guitar) and Dedicated to the one I love (Shirelles, best remembered everywhere for Will you love me tomorrow).

There are many other great songs, mostly sung by long-forgotten one-hit wonders. Anybody interested in female singers of the era and looking for less obvious material should check this out.

5 out of 5 stars Chosen by someone with wonderful taste.......2002-09-03

Some of my alltime favorite songs from the pre-Beatles era found their way onto this cd, so I had to buy it: "The Name Game" by Shirley Ellis, "Easier Said than Done" by the Essex, "It Might as Well Rain Until September" by Carol King, "I Wish I Were a Princess" by Little Peggy March (how many song titles can you name use the subjunctive mood correctly?).... This is a fantastic selection, and the choices sound clear and sharp--well-done.
