THE CROWS & THE WRENS "Strictly For The Birds" Rama & Gee 1953-1957

For the first time on CD, this brings together all the extant recordings by both the Crows and the Wrens -- their complete output for George Goldner between 1953 and 1956. This 30-track collection, split evenly between the two groups, also includes five never before available alternate takes. The Crows were simply one of New York's seminal doo wop groups, and tracks like "Gee," "I Love You So," "Untrue," and "Miss You" are utterly charming in their basic crudity. The Wrens were more urbane and their takes on "Come Back My Love" and "Eleven Roses" are two of the many highlights in Goldner's vocal-group crown. As an absolutely essential piece of vocal group -- and rock & roll -- history, this is the real thing and then some. (Cub Koda, AMG)
