WELCOME TO LPCDREISSUES
· The penultimate pairing in Ace’s series of 2-On-1 reissues of the original Scepter albums of the Shirelles brings together two highly acclaimed, and very rare, albums that came out on Scepter’s budget label, Pricewise, during a time that the group was in litigation with the company and refused to record any new songs.""
"
· “Swing The Most” and “Hear And Now” were budget only in name, as the repertoire is of the same high quality as anything found on their official Scepter albums. In fact, many Shirelles fans consider these to be two of the very best albums of the girls’ entire career.""
"
· Many of the tracks were unissued prior to their appearance on this album - including their original versions of ‘Oh Not Not My Baby’ (Maxine Brown), ‘Get Rid Of Him’ (Dionne Warwick) , ‘That Boy Is Messin’ Up My Mind’ (the Orchids) and ‘His Lips Get in The Way’ (Bernadette Castro).""
"
· The selections also include several Shirelles hits that never appeared on their Scepter albums, including ‘What Does A Girl Do’ and ‘Sha-La-La’ (covered in the UK by Manfred Mann).""
"
· “Swing the Most” and “Hear And Now” were originally issued in mono only, but we have done our best to locate all the stereo masters that still exist for these tracks and present them here - wherever possible - in full stereo. ""
"
· This is another valuable addition to a series that will conclude in early 2010 with the pairing of “The Shirelles Sing the Golden Oldies” and their live album, “Spontaneous Combustion”."
