| East Side Story, Vol. 1-12 [BOX SET] [LIMITED EDITION] |
I grew up in Cypress Park (The Avenues) area of Los Angeles in the 50s and 60s. I'm a big fan of Doo Wop/Low Rider style music. I was excited about the "East Side Story Box" release. There is a lot of rare finds and standards in this box set. I was glad to finally get "Talk To Me" by Sunny & The Sunliners.
There are more great songs on these discs but some are obviously recorded from vinyl (surface noise, pops and clicks) or there are better recordings in other collections (the Doo Wop Box sets or the Vee-Jay Records Box set, etc.). The collection has a mix of early R&B and East L.A. favorites. I just wished they`d taken the time to get the best recordings possible. |

| ALTHOUGH CHANGED STILL A HIT COLLECTION!!! |
I must say although changed out of all the various artist collections of all oldies this is I have to say is by far the most chingon collection you can get when it comes to all those hard to find rareties like on volume 1 (Jealous) by (Little Royal) or (Victim Of Circumstance) on volume 2 as well as ones like (Why Should We Stop Now) also on volume 2 then theres some such as (The Sly Slick & The Wicked) by (Lost generation) witch I could not find (Thats How Heartaches Are Made) by (Baby Washington) even (Baby There Is Somthing On Your Mind) (McKinley Travis) or (I Need You So) and on volume 6 rareties like the song (Just Because) and (Lonely Guy) and also (Sombody Please) thats is in this collection as well. There are many hits by famous artist like (Smokey Robinson) and the (Four tops) the (Chi-Lites) or the (O'Jays) and manymore hits that were classic 1 hit wonders. This collection has been changed drasticly but we still will tresure the oldies this new collection has brought to us. True that some of these oldies you can find easily but others not so easy the thing that makes this cd collection so great is they mix each cd with a little bit of both rare and easy to find oldies so you get all the good hits divided on all these 12 volumes. I do admit the old (East Side Story) was great I will miss it alot. Some of those oldies were so firme like the song ( These Lonely Lonely Nights) by a group I cant remember. I looked and looked for the song but it was never found sad but true volume 1 got the worst of all the volumes every song on here I believe is new but still chingon none the less. I personally still believe this collection though it has been changed still is a collection we should tresure and remember for the songs on here are still firme hits of there time. I have never seen a oldies collection put together as good as this one. What can I say it was the first then you notice you get the copiers like (LowRider Oldies) witch is not to bad but not nearly as good as this one then you have (body and soul) collection and all these other oldies collections. It's sad this has been changed but still great and a tresure that You must have in your killer golden oldies collections the other collections can never compare!!! |

| Nice Try |
This is not the original East Side Story Collection.More than 50% of the original songs were deleted.Some volumes barely contain one or two of the original tracks, while others are in fact the real deal and contain all the correct songs in the correct order. I do not wish to sound negative, I'm shure the people who made this compilation tried hard to get all the rights to the music, and for this I aplaude them. Althoe I wonder if maybe they should have waited to get the rights to Thee Midnighters songs, who's Cd was released around the same time. If I was experiencing this for the first time I would have to say this is a great collection and would give it 4 or5 stars. The replacement songs are good enough to warrant there own volumes such as EAST SIDE STORY GOLD Vol,4,5,6, Etc; In my defence I do own all 12 volumes on vinyl including East Side Story Gold Vol.1,2,and 3. |
