Great compilation CD.......2007-07-16
This CD is a great overview of the best hits of Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons. Alot of great and familiar songs like Sherry, December 1963, Big Girls Don't Cry, etc. CD art has great pictures and a history of the group. There are also 3-4 songs done by Frankie Valli as a solo artist, like the popular song "Grease". If you like Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons or you're just beccoming interested in them, this is a great CD to have.
Brings back the good times..........2007-07-15
If you have fond memories of the 60's, and even if you don't, this music will make you sing! These songs were in the foreground and the background of our lives in those simpler times. I saw "Jersey Boys" on Broadway and this brings back that incredible sentimental journey back.
Listen and smile.
Best Ever.......2007-07-05
This is the greatest CD I have ever purchased. It takes me back to my teenage years. The songs on it are the best ever. I would reccomend this CD to everyone.
Brings back great memories!.......2007-07-03
This is a great CD. It has all the best of Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons. I am enjoying it!
Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons.......2007-06-05

Product Description

The movie is a 1970s take on 1950s musicals, providing all the kitsch anyone could hope for. It's John Travolta as Danny Zuko as Olivia Newton-John's pompadoured main squeeze, and the kids go crazy. Fresh from his astronomical success with Travolta in Saturday Night Fever, Bee Gee Barry Gibb penned the title track (sung by Frankie Valli). Sha Na Na is over-represented, and actress Stockard Channing struts her, um, versatility, singing a couple of tracks. This has become a touchstone in American culture, and so isn't likely to improve our standing in the world's eyes. Maybe the point is that it's supposed to sound amateurish, but it does manage to eke out some fun, most notably on the hit "You're the One That I Want." --Scott Wilson
Customer Reviews:
Several Weak Tracks.......2007-06-27
The only thing holding this album back from being consistentatly a 5 star critic's favorite is the fact that it contains several weak tracks, and the title song Grease is possibly the only legitimate song that will bring back nostalgia for those that liked the movie and the singing in the musical. I always thought they were stuck in the 50s, but they've updated it to like the 70s or maybe even 90s, but still not modern enough for my tastes. The music is well crafted filler to a classic movie that will only date with time.
Throwback music.......2007-05-29
If you hav ever seen the movie than you already know, and if you haven't, then you need to. It is a classic American musical, with great oldies music. Highly recommeded.
Very Upbeat Songs.......2007-05-21
Listening to the music from Grease brings back the good memories of watching the movie. The music is funny (Summer Nights; Beauty School Dropout; Look At Me, I'm Sandra Dee; Greased Lighting), touching (There Are Worse Things I Could Do; Hopelessly Devoted To You) and very 70's (Blue Moon; Rock "n" Roll Is Here To Stay; Born To Hand Jive). John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John sing great, but the supporting cast (Stockard Channing, Sha-Na-Na), also contribute to a good sound. Great rock and roll!
Classic nostalgia .......2007-05-03
I of course remember when I was eight years old when Grease came out and I played the singles to death on the turntable. Revisiting now I remember how *cumbersome* it is. The first ten tracks are absolutely essential. They are the strength and reflection of the soundtrack and what makes the movie go.
Any listener should not be remiss about the cumbersome nature of the soundtrack. One can skip over easily the songs they don't like. Not like the ol' turntable vinyl where that convenience was not there. Let's face it, too much Sha-Na-Na is too much Sha-Na-Na.
Overall, it's a great buy for the asking price for those who remember. A versatile Travolta and Newton-John strutted their stuff in a time they could do no wrong. And contributions by Franki Valli, Channing and Avalon make this a good listen.
A feel-good, sing-along soundtrack.......2007-04-14
Although I'm not usually a fan of movie soundtracks, my one big exception is Grease! Who wouldn't love this collection of sing-along songs that brighten your mood no matter when, or how often, you listen to them? Since Grease is also one of my all-time favorite movies, hearing the songs automatically makes me recall the particular scene they correlate with, and I invariably start smiling.
Grease consists of many talented actors and actresses, most of whom could sing as well as they could act. Therefore, each song -- including numerous solos by John Travolta, Oliva Newton-John and Stockard Channing -- is a treat to listen to.
If I were only allowed to bring one CD to the proverbial deserted island, Grease would probably be it! This is one purchase that will pay off, time and time again.

As the music and legacies of various rock legends--Elvis, the Beatles, the Stones, Dylan, the Beach Boys, Bruce Springsteen--have been thoroughly celebrated, analyzed, and overanalyzed by rock critics, fans, and reissuers, the Four Seasons--New Jersey's premiere pop act before Springsteen or Bon Jovi--remained grossly overlooked and underappreciated. To the uninformed, their pre-Beatles roots--stretching back to the doo-wop era--or sure slickness might have fostered the misconception they were somehow less "hip." Musicians, however, knew better. Dylan, Springsteen, Neil Diamond, Billy Joel, and Brian Wilson among them thoroughly understood and appreciated the Seasons' vision, centered around their harmonies, Frankie Valli's vocal virtuosity, and the stellar work of songwriter-organist Bob Gaudio who, with producer Bob Crewe, created the now-classic Seasons sound, which withstood Beatlemania and everything afterward. The recent Tony Award-winning musical Jersey Boys helped sweep aside those decades of neglect by reintroducing the Four Seasons to a new audience. Rhino's magnificent package--four CDs on 84 tracks and a DVD of rare performances--explores the music that inspired it all, beginning with their 1962 debut hit "Sherry," through magnificent, timeless mini-dramas like "Dawn," "Rag Doll," and "C'mon Marianne" and tongue-in-cheek efforts like their version of Dylan's "Don't Think Twice (It's All Right)" by the "Wonder Who." Along with various rarities, the collection includes Valli's solo hits. "Can't Take My Eyes Off You" and "Swearin' to God" reaffirm his stature as one of that era's great vocalists. The DVD includes performances from a 1963 Steve Allen show and a 1971 appearance on Britain's Top of the Pops. --Rich Kienzle
Album Description

I know I am not using this particular forum for its intended purpose, but I hope I can be forgiven. I am writing because I want to find a website or message board where I can communicate with Frankie Valli/Four Seasons fans. I have a particular question that I want to be able to post to a large number of fans at one time. So can someone please provide a website address or link where I can find such a message board. Thanks!
Five star collection, with one gripe.......2007-07-14
"Jersey Beat...The Music of Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons" is a wonderful, thoughtfully put together box that finally gives the boys their long overdue credit. My only gripe with the box is that Disc One contains far too much mono where I know stereo exists, since I have owned other Rhino collections. At least they found the single version of "Save It For Me" rather than the underdub that appeared on their "Anthology" and the "Definitive Pop Collection". And the single version of "Swearin' To God" is the original single master, not the crudely done edit of the LP master that was on the other collections (where is Frankie Valli's "Close-Up" album on CD, with the 10- minute version of "Swearin' To God"????) And they finally found the stereo "Let's Hang On". But I have stereo versions of "Rag Doll" , "Walk Like A Man", "Big Girls Don't Cry", and other early hits, on earlier Rhino discs, as well as the Curb reissues of their albums from the early 90s. Why doesn't a label like Warner Brothers do proper tape vault research? (Rhino is now for all intents and purposes, Warner Strategic Marketing) Otherwise, this is probably the best compilation of their work I have ever heard, and, stereo quibbling aside, everyone should own it, and even if you're not a fan, after hearing this amazing collection, you will be.
A feast for your listening and viewing pleasure.......2007-06-25
It is all here in one place, the greatest of the 4 Seasons. Enjoy 3 CDs with the best audio quality that I have heard to date. The mixing of the vocals is excellent, just as you remembered them on all of the 4 Seasons' hit and b-sides. Actually any of the b-sides here could just as well been a hit. There is something wonderful in the order of the play list of the songs in this compilation. They flow together beautifully. You'll experience hours of listening enjoyment. It is also very interesting to see how the music of the Seasons has matured over the years, while the early songs, such as Sherry, still having a "spine-tingling" timeless impact on the listener. Close you eyes and enjoy the past several decades of beautiful music. Do your self a huge favor and listen to the cut "Hope and Glory" several times. It is Bob Gaudio's and Frankie Valli sharing the lead. This could easily become a big hit single for the Seasons in this decade, given the proper airplay. Also be sure to treasure the DVD which takes you from the original Seasons with Nick Massi and then the fabulous Joe Long, through the later group members such as Don Ciccone and Gerry Polci. I promise that you will be thrilled that you purchased this extraordinary collection.
YES!!!!.......2007-06-24
Let me start by I was born in Jersey in 1983. But I grew up to the sounds of WCBSFM 101.1 from NYC. This of course included many of The Four Season's Hits. I have an original vinyl copy of Gold Vault of Hits that, for a while, constantly played in my parent's turntable. I love The Four Seasons. This collection should be in every home in America (and around the world). It allows me to discover even more songs that until now I didn't know existed. BUY THIS COLLECTION. As far as I'm concerned, it's a steal at this price.
Oh BOY. Wow.......2007-06-15
Let me say I really was not a Four Seasons fan until Jersey boys. Hey I grew up in the 80's and they really peaked in the 60's- 70's. I saw Jersey boys and was hooked. I just bought this collection and have played it over and over. I wish I grew up in the 60's and 70's. I especially like the Down the Hall song, Rapsody and Streetfighter. I am in a band and we actually think Down the hall fits todays sound and plan on covering it. I am still blown away by this collection, and some of the music here I have never heard of and love the lyrics and the songwriting. That Bob Guadio was amazing. And I never was a fan of Frankie Valli (Grease), but now I wish I had seen him perform. His DVD vocal on Working my way back to you is as powerful a vocal as I have ever heard any singer perform. Kodos to Frankie Valli.

At three CDs, Rhino's 25th Anniversary Collection may have featured just a little too much. But at one CD, Rhino's distillation of that box set--also titled Anthology--may have been just a tad too short, neglecting cuts ("The Proud One," "Peanuts") that true aficionados wanted on CD. The label remedies the situation with its 2001 Anthology, which, at two CDs, is really only three songs shorter than the 25th Anniversary Collection. Thus, the casual fan may still get a bit more than necessary (including a very vanilla take on Fats Domino's "Ain't That a Shame"). The tradeoff is you'll also get everything you could possibly want by this wonderful group, including the great obscurities (although the label also released a new rarities package, Off Seasons, to coincide with this compilation). It prominently features those amazing '60s radio hits that merged Spector-ish production with East Coast street-corner doo-wop to produce epic miniature rock operas. Much of the imagery in those very class-conscious love stories would turn up in the songs of another great Italian rock star from New Jersey named Springsteen. And to this day, the music and production still sound passionate and glorious. --Bill Holdship

It doesn't get any better than this.......2007-06-17
I've been a long time fan of The Four Seasons-The smash Broadway musical "Jersey Boys" has rekindled a lot of interest in the group & its music-You get all the key hits:"Sherry","Big Girls Don't Cry","Walk Like A Man","Rag Doll",& "December 1963 (Oh,What A Night)"-Those five songs all topped the Billboard "Hot 100" at one time-You also receive an informative booklet,which gives a lot of vital information-If you're a die hard Four Seasons aficionado,you must buy this.
Great Set List, Great Sound, Great Packaging! What Else Is There?.......2007-06-06
Set list is perfect. No useless bonus cuts that I won't listen to. All tracks are in perfect chronological order.
Great Sound. Volume and mixing is perfect. I even put this on a Wave Editor and the volume is near 0db with terrific dynamic range.
Great Packaging, with a nice booklet with photos, a detailed set list with dates and original stock numbers, and nice information about the group.
I wasn't a huge fan of the Four Seasons, but if you want to buy a really good sounding CD set of their stuff with a great set list and packaging, this one is for you.
Great Memories.......2007-03-14
If you are a Four Seasons fan, this is the CD(s) for you. All of their best songs are here as well as Frankie Vallie's "disco days" songs. You won't be disappointed!
This collection made me a fan!.......2007-03-02
I've known of Frankie Valli and the 4 Seasons for many years. They're typically that really screeching band you hear a few bars from the chorus of one or two of their hits on one of those late night commercials for the "fab fifties hit collection" CD.
Anyway, that's what I thought until out of a desperate attempt to wean my young children off the Beach Boys that they seem to need to listen to every evening and have been for the last two years or so, I went ahead and ordered this anthology.
Well, a whole new world of pop music opened up to me. Guess what, when you play a beatifully remastered CD on a high-end stereo system (one of those systems where the transformers are in separate boxes), they actually sound rather good! I was totally amazed at this band that I had pre-judged as being a bunch of 50's throwbacks that are only good for a screech or two during a CD commercial on late-night TV.
And, the stuff between the hits sounds good too. Sure, not all the tunes on this collection have the hooks of the great hits, but to me it's more interesting to hear a full range of what a band is/was capable of, not just the absolutely greatest hits.
One of my kids liked it too. So, if you're already a fan of this band I don't see how you could go wrong, unless you own all these tunes already, but if you're not a fan this CD set just might make you one.
And once you've digested this anthology, go get the "Let's Hang On and 11 Other Hits". It's got a different version of "Workin' my Way Back to You" and the brilliant "Beggars Parade" and a lot of other great tunes that didn't make it to their greatest hits albums.
Great Collection.......2007-02-17
This collection beats any of the others that are on sell at this time.
It has very hard to find singles that were released in the 60s and 70s. One of my favorite selections is FALLEN ANGEL, that is featured in the Broadway play JERSEY BOYS. Buy this!!

This is the finest collection of Maze featuring Frankie Beverly that I have ever heard!!! It is the best selection of hits especially if you are a true fan or even if you are not. Any and everyone would love it. I am definitely enjoying it. I am from the south so of course "Southern Girl" is my favorite song.

Frankie Beverly and Maze.......2007-01-12
I love the CD and I am a die hard Frankie Beverly fan and I just like the oldie goldie music. I can't relate to the new music. The CD is crisp clear and I am a very satisfied customer. I am so satisfied until I ordered some more oldie goldie music.
Maze - Greatest Hits.......2006-08-04
I took my wife to Franke Beverly and Maze in concert recently. She enjoyed herself so much that I brought her this CD. I am a long time fan of the group. Neither of us were disappointed with the CD.

Great memories cd.......2007-03-29
If you are a fan of the Four Season from the '60's and/or have just seen the Jersey Boys, this cd is a must !!
Frankie Vallie.......2007-01-16
A great follow up for the first album and terrific music for all ages
Great Collection.......2006-11-07
I wouldn't consider myself one to purchase a Frankie and the Four Seaons CD (I mean look how dorky they look on the CD cover!) - but don't be decieved - this is a masterpiece.
"Lets hang on" has great hook and is one of my favorites. I got the CD coz I'd heard "December 1963" in the past, liked it but didn't know who performed it. One of the better purchases I've made in 2006.
Four Seasons CD.......2006-02-22
Greatest Hits Volume 2 is a fun disc for Frankie Valli fans to have in their collection.

Beautiful - no other word for it.......2007-05-30
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful. A must for both casual and die-hard Western fans. Great even if your sense of nostalgia doesn't reach that far back (like me; I'm 22). I love the combination of slow ballads and fast, jumpy songs.
More Momories of Westerns.......2007-03-09
Boy, do these bring back memories of some of the Great Westerns of the 50's. We sit and listen to the songs and think of the movies and the TV shows that they are from. We can remember who starred in the movies and how the "Sons of the Pioneers" entered the stage to sing.
This is a GREAT CD.
Old West Nostalgia.......2006-10-29
For anyone old enough to remember all the great Old West TV shows and movies from the same era, this CD is bound to bring you lots of fond memories and relaxing pleasure. What's best, the artists are all the originals; there are no remakes. Plenty of tunes are on this CD. It's well worth the price and the time.
Very Disappointing.......2006-10-24
The quality of the samples is better than the quality of the recordings.
I Look Toward Home.......2006-10-05
This album takes me back to Texas. "The Sons Of Katie Elder" sung by Johnny Cash and "Nevada Smith" sung by Merle Kilgore sound good but are a bit modern. "The Searchers" sung by the Sons Of The Pioneers really hits home. As the sun sets and the days grow short I ride away and I look toward home.

Super Value.......2007-05-17
Received sooner than expected from UK vendor. Super value with very good selection of songs.
Good Ole Frankie.......2007-03-10
I was really impressed because the songs were just the way I remembered them when I first heard them. I hate when they change the tempo, or other things on songs, but Frankie left everything...guess he also believed in..if it's not broke, don't fix it...
Love Frankie.......2006-11-10
I had this album on 33-1/3 many years ago. Was so glad I found it at Amazon on CD. If You like Frankie Laine, this is one of his best! Digitally remastered sound better than origional.
It's great to hear Frankie's greatness once again!.......2006-06-17
I hadn't been able to regularly listen to Frankie Laine for over two decades but have always had really fond memories of hearing his songs. I finally got around to purchasing this CD and have been very pleased to find that his songs have not diminished over time in their impact on me.
"Moonlight Gambler" has been my favorite song of his all these years but, with this CD, I've found some close competitors. His powerful voice and the great arrangements make for some terrific songs. I highly recommend this CD!
A Nice Frankie Laine Sampler.......2005-10-15
If you are new to Frankie Laine, this CD will expose you to some of the various styles of music he performed.
Mr. Laine was a very powerful and versatile singer who excelled at Western Ballads, 1940's Jazz, Spanish-flavored songs, etc.
My two favorite songs on this disc are "Jezebel" and "Granada".
For anyone who has ever been tormented by a woman, the song "Jezebel" just about says it all!

Memories of Westerns.......2007-03-09
This brings back memories of the westerns I saw as a child. High Noon, Rawhide etc...Frankie Laine has such a memorable voice that these songs by others just don't sound right. I grew up listening to "Hell Bent for Leather" and other records like, Marty Robbins and Johnny Horton.
(I did purchase two so I could give one as a gift.)
I really like the songs on this CD.
Not up to scratch.......2007-01-18
While well produced, I was disappointed in the album - mostly because the majority of the tracks were re-recordings. Frankie Laine still sounds great - but it just wasn't the same.
I bought the CD to replace a well worn vinyl album, but on listening to the CD I found the songs to all be slightly (and in a couple of cases very), different in tempo and vocal inflection - it's definitely not the album I've loved for over 30 years! High Noon in particular is quite different, much slower, with vocal emphasis changed. I'll probably listen to the CD from time to time, but not with the same relish that I enjoyed my old LP.
Only Frankie Laine Sings these Songs His Way.......2006-10-12
Frankie Laine made "High Noon" a legendary Western song with his unique voice full of bravado. "Rawhide" is yet another example of the staying power I think due in part to his interpretation and drive he delivered. "Gunfight At O.K. Corral" is just as impressive. This is a great collection. "Cool Water," "Muletrain," "The Green Leaves Of Summer," "North To Alaska" and "Ghost Riders In The Sky" are just outstanding.
On the Trail.......2006-08-15
I grew through my early years listing to Frankie Lane songs and as I remembered his voice was very haunting and clear. So when I ordered this selection I was not disappointed.
Good tunes, but not the original album.......2005-09-07
Unhappily this is not the original album. Some songs are remixed. High Noon was not as I remember it. Some songs are new.
I was a little disappointed, but I am enjoying most of the CD. It would have been a better value if it was the original album.

glaring omission.......2007-02-08
Nice collection, but conspiciously missing
is his signature song: That Lucky Old Sun.
And, on this CD at least one of his best
known songs: Moonlight Gambler is a poor
ad-libbed rendition that does no justice
to the original recording on Columbia.
Jezebel: The Best of Frankie Laine.......2005-09-10
It is a very good album containing a number of Mr. Laine's greatest hits and some lesser known.
Review of Jezebel: The best of Frankie Laine.......2004-03-11
This is an awesome recording. I have owned this old LP for many years. If you have ever heard the song Rawhide, you know Frankie Laine. I would highly recommend this music in any format you can find !
