Experience the Divine: Greatest Hits
(1993)

by
Bette Midler
Placing the raw beginning of her career (beautifully represented by the stark resignation of "Hello in There") against the brassy persona she has since cultivated ("Miss Otis Regrets") against the overblown A/C cuts that have been her biggest hits ("From a Distance," "Wind Beneath My Wings"), Bette Midler shows on this album why she is a legend ...

The Divine Miss M
(1972)
more music like this
by
Bette Midler
Bette Midler's debut album displays how raw her talent was at the beginning of her career, a coarseness that has been lost as she's honed her persona into something brassier. Not that brassy's bad; she's just matured as a performer. But listen to this, then throw in 1990's fine Some People's Lives to see how she shines with both voices. On The ...

Original Soundtrack
A very strange, very jarring soundtrack album release that starts out with a selection of '60s pop hits and transitions through "The Marines Hymn" to Fairlight performances by Abigail Mead (actually Vivian Kubrick, daughter of director Stanley Kubrick). The original part of the album is dark and sometimes unmusical, but works better than might be ...

I Love Rock & Roll: Hits of the '60s is an excellent mid-line collection that contains 20 hits.

Various Artists
This three-CD box set contains 66 tracks taken from various schools of the first decade (or so) of rock & roll: doo wop, girl group, rockabilly, early soul, light pop/rock, New Orleans R&B, and more.

The Very Best of the Dixie Cups: Chapel of Love

more music like this
by
The Dixie Cups
Collectables doesn't have the best reputation in collectors' circles, as many of their early releases were rather shoddy and poor sounding. However, 1999's The Very Best of the Dixie Cups: Chapel of Love is not only an excellent compilation -- with outstanding sound and informative, well-designed liner notes -- it's probably the best single-disc ...

by

There are two ways of looking at Rhino's Girl Group Greats. First, you could argue that it's unnecessary, since every one of its 20 cuts is known (and probably owned) by girl group collectors. Second, you could argue that it's absolutely necessary, since every one of its 20 tracks forms the essential foundation for a girl group collection. And ...

Thanks to the surprising success of the compilation Endless Summer, the Beach Boys entered the studio in 1975 for the first time in almost three years. The album that followed, 15 Big Ones, balanced covers of rock and doo wop standards with seven new Beach Boys songs (including five Brian Wilson compositions). Most of the covers are mistakes, part ...

Varese Sarabande's Girl Group Sound: 25 All Time Greatest Hits From Red Bird Records comes ten years after Charly Records released the four-disc Red Bird Story.

It's difficult to make a connection between the music on Millennium Gold, Vol. 1 and the turning of the millennium, except that the compilation happened to be released around that time. Nevertheless, it's a pretty solid collection of oldies-radio staples that doesn't aim to draw a portrait of any specific kind of music, but rather to assemble a ...

Four by Four, Vol. 3 collects four songs each by girl group titans the Cookies, Little Eva, the Dixie Cups, and the Shangri-Las. The format is interesting because it gives listeners more chance to discover the groups involved than a collection with only one song per artist, yet it doesn't wear them out with too many non-hit recordings.

The first volume in this series brings together just what the title implies. It's a varied lot, with the concept stretched pretty thin, but the set does gather jewels like "Wouldn't It Be Nice," "Chapel of Love," and "Church Bells May Ring" amidst more non-rock & roll fare like "Wedding Bell Blues" and "Wedding Song." As compilations goes, about ...
