 Excellent Compilation - Acceptable Recording Quality September 11, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I thought this is an excellent selection of Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons greatest hits.
I'm sure the audio engineers did the best they could with the recordings. All of the trackes are very clean, but I thought it was a shame that the older tracks lacked the stereo "depth" of the newer tracks. By comparison, the "Jersey Boys" soundtrack takes full advantage of the improvements in recording technology and so breathes a lot of life into these older songs. However, that CD is comprised mostly of faster versions and medleys in order to fit the format of a stage show.
In the final analysis, I think that both CDs are worth purchasing.

Very Best of Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons August 26, 2008
Just went to New York City and saw the Broadway Show.
The Jersey Boys. Wonderful performance, so had to
buy this CD to continue enjoying their special sound.
Brings back memories that are good!
GREAT FOUR SEASONS August 23, 2008
This is one fine CD, with some of the best music ever recorded. Large number of tracks, and the original 4 seasons (not frankie valli and 3 guys he picked up and called the seasons). These are the REAL seasons.
Oh, what a CD August 6, 2008

This is a real score for both fans of Franki Valli and for Rhino records. This best of gathers songs from all phases of the band's career and Valli's solo albums, from various labels and multiple decades. From those first memorable singles "Sherry" and "Big Girls Don't Cry" on Vee-Jay (a label that was an early US host of The Beatles) to Valli scoring a number one with the Grease Soundtrack theme song, you can follow pop styles and trends through Valli's falsetto.
While those coming to this CD via the success of the Jersey Boys Broadway show will be taken aback by the primitive sound of the early records, the production was still very pristine for the times. The horse-clops on "Walk Like a Man" or the chimes on "Dawn (Go Away)" show savvy, and the 70's comeback of "Who Loves You" or "Swearin' To God" hail the omnipotence of the disco era. Add some great liner notes, and you have the best Four Seasons comp available. Take a little stroll down the Jersey Boardwalk with Sherry, Candy, Ronnie, Dawn and Marrianne...and Franki Valli.
