Customer Reviews:

4 out of 5 stars Ace keeps 'em coming.......2002-03-17

The third outing in Ace's early rock instrumental series digs deeper into the vaults for few of the most popular and a lot more hard-to-find "teen beat" (mostly) instrumentals. Anchored with five top-20 hits known to most, this volume offers another 16 top-100 sides along with nine more chart misses. While not really in the genre, one of the biggest instrumental hits of the era, Arthur Lyman's hypnotic "Yellow Bird", is offered here in counterpoint to the otherwise guitar- or drum-laden tunes making up most of this collection. Among the rarities here are "Brass Buttons", the sequel to the String-A-Longs' monster hit "Wheels", Colorado's surf-rock group the Astronauts' "Baja", a superb tune that for some reason only managed to see the bottom of the charts and the Lawrence Welkesque "Velvet Waters" by a studio group dubbed the Megatrons. Another seldom-found ditty appearing here is Jimmy Dorsey's "Jay-Dee's Boogie Woogie", the b-side of a larger hit "June Night", both of which were actually made under a different musical director a few days after Dorsey's death in 1957. All together, this is an eclectic mix of recognizable hits and interesting-to-discover lesser sides brought to market in their usual outstanding fashion by the masters of reissue CDs. Sound quality is very good overall with a few tracks in stereo (2,14,15,19,20,24) with the remainder in mono, mostly good and clean. The producers have acknowledged that three tracks were dubbed from disc in a refreshingly honest acknowldgement - if only all music companies were as forthright... A great liner notes booklet wraps up the package, as with the other volumes in the series. Ace is on top again with this new addition to their excellent "Teen Beat" series.
