WELCOME TO LPCDREISSUES
· The second in Ace’s series of reissues of original Scepter Shirelles albums pairs the girls’ third and fourth sets and adds three bonus tracks that are appropriate to their original vinyl releases.""
"
· As before, this set is mastered from the original Scepter production tapes, and in stereo where it was originally issued in stereo.""
"
· These albums were among the most successful from the girls’ lengthy tenure with Scepter - featuring five Hot 100 hits and a US chart-topper in the perennial favourite, ‘Soldier Boy’.""
"
· Several tracks featuring the tenor sax (and voice) of King Curtis will give this set extra appeal to fans of R&B instrumentals - Curtis was a friend of the Shirelles and was often be found in their backing band at live shows.""
"
· The Shirelles have just celebrated 50 years in the music business by having a boulevard named after them in their native Passaic, New Jersey. Ace is happy to join in the celebration by way of this series, which presents the albums of the first great girl group just as they should be heard. ""
