Editorial Reviews
2012 release, Ace Records' second volume of numbers penned by the Brill Building-based husband and wife team Jeff Barry and Ellie Greenwich. One of the most successful songwriting teams of their time, their insanely catchy melodies, stick-in-your head lyrics and nonsense syllable refrains were aimed straight at the hearts of teenagers, squarely hitting the bulls-eye more often than not. This compendium of proven classics and lesser-known gems, lovingly compiled and annotated by Mick Patrick, will go a long way toward explaining the special spot the couple occupy in so many hearts, especially those of girl group aficionados.

More good news is that several Spector tracks that could not be included in the previous Barry/Greenwich collection are here in terrific sound. A must for anyone who grew up listening to the radio "in the day".
It's nice to be reminded what good songs these guys wrote for their teen-aged audience. "You Baby" for example has a terrific tune that could have been effectively sung by Jack Jones or any saloon singer of the era.

This volume makes up for that with these hits which all emerged in 1963: Da Doo Ron Ron (When He Walked Me Home) by The Crystals (# 3 Hot 100/# 5 R&B May on Phillies 112); Not Too Young To Get Married by Bob B. Soxx & The Blue Jeans (# 63 Hot 100 June on Phillies 113); Wait Til' My Bobby Gets Home by Darlene Love (# 26 Hot 100 August on Phillies 114); and Baby, I Love You by The Ronettes (# 24 Hot 100 Sept/Oct on Phillies 118). It's important to note that Billboard had suspended the R&B charts from later 1963 and through all of 1964.
Another label to reap financial benefits from their music was Red Bird Records, launched in 1964 by another pretty decent song-writing team named Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller. It began with their first release, The Chapel Of Love by The Dixie Cups, which # 1 Hot 100 in May/June 1964 and spent 3 weeks at that lofty spot on Red Bird 10-001, no mean feat being right in the midst of the opening waves of the British Invasion. And that same July, I Wanna Love Him So Bad by The Jelly Beans got into the Top 10 at # 9 on Red Bird 10-003.
Of course, not everything they did that year for Red Bird could elbow their way past The Beatles, Stones et al, as neither of I Wonder by The Butterflys (Red Bird 10-016) nor Jeff Barry's own effort at I'll Still Love You (Red Bird 10-026) in 1965 could dent the Hot 100. It's said that Ellie was a "back-up" vocalist on recordings by The Butterflys (sometimes shown as The Butterflies), including their only charted hit, Good Night Baby, which finished at # 51 in September 1964 on Red Bird 10-009. But that is as hard to confirm as is the actual make-up of that Girl Group. And speaking of Girl Groups, another of the team's compositions to appear in 1965 was The Train From Kansas City which was the uncharted flipside of the very minor October 1965 # 99 Right Now And Not Later by The Shangri-Las on Red Bird 10-036.
As for the rest of the contents, few were what you would think of as significant contributions, with the best, in terms of chart success, being Lesley Gore's The Look Of Love which peaked at a respectable # 27 Hot 100 in December 1964/January 1965 on Mercury 72372. The only other one to come close to the Top 40 was the November 1964 Connie Francis entry, Don't Ever Leave Me, which finished up at # 42 on MGM 13287. The minor hits are: I Got To Go Back (And Watch That Little Girl Dance) by The McCoys (# 69 Hot 100 January 1967 on Bang 5387); Give Us Your Blessing by Ray Peterson (# 70 Hot 100 June 1963 on Dunes 2025); When The Boy's Happy (The Girl's Happy Too) by The Four Pennies (The Chiffons under a different name - # 95 Hot 100 November 1963 on Rust 5070).
Another is the January 1964 # 64 Hot 100 That Boy John by The Raindrops, which also included the voice of Ellie Greenwich, on Jubilee 5466. Ellie's solo effort here, Goodnight, Goodnight (What's So Good About It?) was the B-side of her only charted Hot 100, I Want You To Be My Baby, which reached # 83 in May 1967 on United Artists 50151. Those singles that failed completely were: I Know It's All Right by Sam Hawkins on Blue Cat 121 in November 1965; This Is It by Jay & The Americans on United Artists 479 in 1962; and She Hangs Out by The Monkees, which was the B-side of A Little Bit Me, A Little Bit You on Colgems 1003 early in 1967 but was never released. Instead, The Girl I Knew Somewhere, was paired with A Little Bit Me, A Little Bit You on the released Colgems 1004.
The rest were album cuts, fully detailed in the excellent liner notes that always accompany an Ace product to go along with their always immaculate sound reproduction. The two volumes together will give you 48 of their best, although the two did not actually combine on every track, as you will see from the liner notes.
