Ain't That a Shame and 11 Others/Let's Hang On and More Great New Hits

Performer: The Four Seasons
Distributor: WEA (Distributor)

Notes: This set combines the Four Seasons' original Curb Records albums Ain't That a Shame and 11 Others from 1963 and Let's Hang On and More Great New Hits from 1966 in one two-disc package (even though both would have easily fit together on a single disc), which means you get the hits "Candy Girl," "Working My Way Back to You," and "Let's Hang On (To What We've Got)," and a whole lot of filler. It's easy enough to get all three of those songs on a greatest-hits release along with other great sides like "Dawn" and "Silence Is Golden," and that's a better way to go. ~ Steve Leggett

In the 1960s, Frankie Valli & the Four Seasons churned out hit after hit to become one of the most successful vocal groups in pop history. Their signature was Valli's stratospheric falsetto, but their success also resulted from sharp, melodic songwriting. During their prime, singles like "Sherry" and "Walk Like a Man" emphasized close-harmony singing with an urban swagger, providing the missing link between doo wop and Motown-era pop. The group topped the charts again in the '70s with an updated, disco-influenced sound. There was a resurgence of interest in the Four Seasons in the early 2000s thanks to the hugely successful Broadway musical JERSEY BOYS about the history of the beloved group.
