"Greatest Hits" (12/27/2005) Oldies Nelson, Ricky, Capitol/EMI RecordsPersonnel include: Ricky Nelson (vocals, guitar); James Burton (guitar). Although the differences between this 2005 Capitol GREATEST HITS collection and its 2002 counterpart may seem slight (the two sets do share many of the same tracks), the former is credited to the singer's teen-idol name, Ricky Nelson, while the latter uses the more adult moniker of Rick Nelson. Consequently, the 2005 compilation features more of charming actor/vocalist's early work, focusing on material from the late 1950s and early '60s. During this time, Nelson moved from light rockabilly ("Stood Up" and "Believe What You Say") to winsome ballads ("Poor Little Fool" and "Lonesome Town"), revealing a talent that went deeper than his manicured TV persona. Though both Capitol GREATEST HITS discs are excellent, this is the one for fans seeking more of Nelson's initial recordings.

"The Buddy Holly Collection" (09/28/1993) Oldies Holly, Buddy, MCA Records (USA)Personnel includes: Buddy Holly, Bob Montgomery (vocals, guitar); Niki Sullivan (guitar, background vocals); Tommy Allsup (guitar); Norman Petty (piano, celeste, organ); Vi Petty, C.W. Kendall (piano); Don Guess, Larry Welborn, Joe Mauldin, George Atwood (bass); Jerry Allison (drums, background vocals); Faris Coursey, Bo Clarke (drums); June Clark, Gary Tollet, Ramona Tollet, The Picks, The Roses, The Helen Way Singers (background vocals). The Fireballs: George Tomasco, Keith McCormack (vocals, guitar,); Stan Lark, Lyn Baily (vocals, bass); Doug Roberts (vocals, drums). Producers: Norman Petty, Owen Bradley, Bob Thiele, Dick Jacobs. Reissue producer: Andy McKaie. Prinicpally recorded at Norman Petty's Studio, Clovis, New Mexico between 1954 and 1959. Includes liner notes by Billy Altman. Digitally remastered by Erick Labson (MCA Media Studios, North Hollywood, California). Few artists have exercised such a profound influence in such a short space of time. Holly's untimely death robbed pop of a performer adept as a solo act and as leader of his group, the Crickets. He wrote, or co-wrote, most of his own material at a time when many singers relied on outside material, and his sparse, but effective, guitar style proved highly influential, particularly on British beat groups. The Buddy Holly Story abounds with songs now indisputably pop classics and confirms Holly's status as a major figure. The Beatles, Tex-Mex music and the singer-songwriter genre each owe Holly a debt, which is itself a lasting tribute to the quality of his work.

"Little Deuce Coupe/All Summer Long [Remaster]" (03/13/2001) Oldies Beach Boys (The), Capitol/EMI Records2 LPs on 1 CD: LITTLE DEUCE COUPE (1963)/ALL SUMMER LONG (1964). The Beach Boys: Brian Wilson, Carl Wilson, Mike Love, Dennis Wilson, Al Jardine. Additional personnel includes: The Honeys (background vocals). Producer: Brian Wilson. Reissue producer: Mark Linett. Recorded at Western Studios, Hollywood, California between January 31, 1963 & September 16, 1964. Originally released on Capitol (1998/2110). Includes liner notes by David Leaf & Mark Linett. LITTLE DEUCE COUPE is arguably the first rock & roll concept album. Combining car songs from the Beach Boys' previous three albums with several new car-related numbers, it celebrates the simple joys of being a teenage automobile owner. Hit singles "Little Deuce Coupe" and "Be True To Your School" showed that Brian Wilson was becoming a remarkably sophisticated producer, songwriter, and arranger. He had mastered the art of vocal arrangements, as shown by the spectacular five-part harmonies on "Spirit of America" and "A Young Man Is Gone," their touching tribute to James Dean. This is a fun, unpretentious evocation of a California summer. On this disc, DEUCE COUPE is coupled with ALL SUMMER LONG. The sustained Number One success of the latter's "I Get Around" established the group as America's best hope against the Beatles' continued dominance of the airwaves. The already-elaborate vocal harmonies grow more lush, the melodies more far-ranging, as Brian's rich falsetto dominates the vocal mix on beauties like "Girls On The Beach" and a hymn-like cover of the doo-wop classic "Hushabye." Wilson also masterfully streamlined his Phil Spector/Wall Of Sound influence so that a large multi-track L.A. studio production still sounds as if it's being produced by a small combo.

"The Definitive Collection" (04/18/2006) Oldies Holly, Buddy, Geffen Records (USA)Notable for its unusual cover, which features a rare photo of Buddy Holly without his signature spectacles, THE DEFINITIVE COLLECTION presents an excellent selection of the rock & roll legend's finest moments, recorded in the brief period between early 1956 and late '58, just months before his death in February of '59. Although Holly's hits--including the vibrant tunes "That'll Be the Day," "Not Fade Away," and "Rave On"--are present, they are chronologically interspersed among lesser-known tracks such as the rockabilly-tinged "Midnight Shift" and the organ-laden "Take Your Time," tracing the entire trajectory of Holly's tragically short career. While not as thorough as the two-disc GOLD set, this 2006 release offers eight more songs than the concise GREATEST HITS, making it the ideal intermediate compilation.

"The Fats Domino Jukebox: 20 Greatest Hits the Way You Originally Heard Them" (03/12/2002) Oldies Domino, Fats, Capitol/EMI RecordsProducer: Dave Bartholomew, Fats Domino, Al Young. Compilation producer: Alan Warner. Recorded in New Orleans, Louisiana between 1950 & 1961. Includes liner notes by John Broven. All tracks have been digitally remastered. This is part of Capitol's Crescent City Soul series. Fats Domino was one of the brightest lights of the New Orleans R&B scene of the early 1950s and one of the key progenitors of rock & roll. His music is fun, rollicking, and upbeat, but it's the strength of his tunes that make the music timeless. FATS DOMINO JUKEBOX contains 20 of the big man's original classics, every one a vintage rock-&-roll gem. In addition to signature songs like "Ain't That a Shame" and "Blueberry Hill," there are lesser-known but no less essential tunes included, such as "Whole Lotta Loving" and "Walking to New Orleans." Simple and vibrant, Fats's music has remained relevant and entertaining throughout decades of changing styles and trends.
