LPCDreissues: Looking forward to the past

Atco had a hit with Bobby’s country-ish 'Things' in the summer of ’62, but he had already left the label, so they had no album to go with it! So, like on 'Twist with Bobby Darin', they put together a collection of odds ’n’ ends from the vaults, and, like on 'Twist', they ended up with a fine album despite themselves! Which, of course, is just a testament to Bobby’s greatness; in fact, this album may be the single most definitive demonstration of his amazing versatility, boasting country, folk, jazz, pop, rock and even tropical stylings with all but two songs written by the man himself. Includes 'Things; I’ll Be There; Lost Love; Look for My True Love; Beachcomber; Now We’re One; Oo-Ee-Train; Jailer Bring Me Water; Nature Boy; Theme from “Come September,”' and 'Sorrow Tomorrow'.
