Four Seasons Revisited

10/31/06
. (conqueroo) Throughout the '60s, there was rarely a moment that the Four Seasons didn't have a hit record on the radio. With songs like "Sherry," "Rag Doll," "Walk Like a Man" and "Working My Way Back to You," the Four Seasons brought their New York/New Jersey street-corner doo-wop roots into the rock 'n' roll mainstream, and found ways to keep the sound exciting and fans entranced - even at the height of Beatlemania. Now that the quartet has been immortalized in the Tony-award-winning Broadway hit musical "Jersey Boys," Collectors' Choice Music seems to have chosen the perfect season in which to reissue 11 Four Seasons albums - from hits to outright oddities - on four single-CD releases and two double-CD releases. Street date for the rollout is January 9, 2007.

The reissues all feature liner notes by music historian Bill Dahl based on lengthy interviews with longtime Four Seasons producer Bob Crewe and songwriter Sandy Linzer.

The Four Seasons and Frankie Valli reissues on Collectors' Choice consist of the following two-fers:

o The Four Seasons: Folk-Nanny / Born To Wander.

o The Four Seasons: The Four Seasons Entertain You / Love on Stage with the Four Seasons.

o The Four Seasons: Working My Way Back to You / The Genuine Imitation Life Gazette (2-CD Set)

o The Four Seasons: Half & Half / Helicon

o The Four Seasons: Streetfighter / Hope & Glory (2-CD Set)

o The Four Seasons: Reunited Live
