 The Very Best Of Gary US Bonds
Submitted on: 2009-07-11 |
|
| Excellent compilation of his greatest hits as well as a few flip sides of several. I can remember being a teenager and playing the flip side as much as the main side because they were that good. |

Brilliant and exciting; sounds never replicated since the early 60s

| I was 12 when I first heard `New Orleans' and it knocked me out. I also like `Not Me' but when `Quarter to Three' came out I was truly hooked. `School is Out' and `Seven Day Weekend' are my favourites although I like them all. This is truly uplifting music in that it portrays a level of `party excitement' that is rarely achieved in real life. The reviewer who talks of `crappy' sound misses the point - it was meant to be crappy. That is what gives the music its excitement. Clean up the sound and the atmosphere is gone. It is the difference between Little Richard and Pat Boone. The sound is brilliant and has never been replicated since although Phil Spector tried his best. I suppose that is why listeners will either love or hate it. I love it and am resigned to the fact that this level of excitement will not occur anymore as sounds become crisp and `clean. A fantastic CD. |

Great to hear these songs again and sound has been protected for a reason

| Gary Bonds is from my home town and I remember when he hit the radio with Quarter To Three. Back then I wondered why the quality (I was about 10) was so "grainy". Not until I read the jacket that comes with this CD did I lean that sound was produced to be unique. All Gary's songs are upbeat and lively and fun to listen to. They have a good beat, good words and I give them a 10 for being what they are. Seven Day Weekend, Twist Twist Senora, New Orleans, and Dear Lady Twist take me back to those days listening on the local AM station on a transistor radio. They are great to hear again. If you are a collector, this one should be on your shelf. |
