Cat. No. DJ-CD 55049: VARIOUS ARTISTS ~ BACK TO BROOKLYN - VOCAL GROUP HARMONY FROM TAURUS RECORDS. DEE JAY JAMBOREE DJ-CD 55049. (IMPORT).
DEE JAY JAMBOREE HAS RELEASED SEVERAL CDs ON THE DOO WOP SOUND, MOST NOTABLY THEIR “EXPLOSIVE DOO WOPS” VOLUMES 1-14 AND ALSO THEIR “OUT OF THE BRONX” AND “BACK TO BROOKLYN” RELEASES. AS THE TITLE SUGGEST WE HEAD BACK TO BROOKLYN WITH A RELEASE OF TRACKS FROM MIKE SELBY’S “TAURUS” LABEL ALL RECORDED BETWEEN 1961 AND 1968. PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS “TAURUS” LABEL HAD NOTHING IN COMMON WITH THE “TAURUS” COMPANY THE SPLENDORS RECORDED “GOLDEN YEARS” FOR. BY THE TIME THE FIRST OF THE TRACKS ON THIS CD WERE RECORDED THE HEADY DAYS OF ROCK’N’ROLL AND DOO WOP WERE WANING BEING REPLACED WITH POP ROCK AND SOUL MUSIC, HOWEVER, THERE IS STILL MUCH ON THIS SET FOR THE DOO WOP AFICIONADOS TO ENJOY. EXCELLENT ****
