The Earls were a one-hit outfit, best known for their No. 29 hit from 1963, "Remember When," a perennial romance/nostalgia anthem that got regular airings on oldies stations from the late 1960's onward. By the time they were on Old Town, they were actually something of a hybrid, a do-wop outfit in spirit who had a self-contained band-Dick Levister (organ), Jimmy Fracasti (guitar), and Bobby Tzibuzio (drums) made a pretty good core group for Larry Chance (lead), Jack Wray (bass), Ronnie Calabrese (tenor), and Eddie Harder (tenor). Their sound was a slick and ornate version of r&b vocal harmony, generally coming more from the Italian than the Black side of the tradition (they were a racially mixed group, with one Black member), imbued with pop music slickness. This in no way detracted from the beauty, beat, or sheer attractiveness of what they produced-it simply means that, given the least encouragement, they veered toward the smooth, commercial side of music, especially where Larry Chance's solo outtings were concerned. This 22 song collection is mastered well and includes most of the essentials and a lot more besides-apart from "Remember When" and similarly patterned efforts like "Cry Cry Cry," and the more sedate "Remember Me Baby," there are overtly pop sides like "Don't Forget," predictable if enjoyable dance numbers like "Let's Waddle" (which owes more than a bit of its content to "Twist And Shout"), and glorious efforts like "Never," in which the vocal interplay (and, particularly, Chance's performance) remains astounding no matter how many times one hears it; and a version of "Old Man River" that's sufficiently dramatic but ultimately can't carry the running time it's been given. The sound is more than acceptable, though one wishes there were new, more detailed notes, rather than a reprint of the vague jacket notes from the original LP of this title.

·       CONDITION:

·       RECORD

(IMPORTANT NOTE: unless otherwise noted, ALL records are graded visually, and NOT play-graded!; we  grade records under the strong, diffuse room light or discrete sunlight)

(a)          WE GRADE THE VINYL AS STRONG VERY GOOD++ . CAUTION: The vinyl is NOT MINT or NEAR MINT, but is nevertheless in a very nice and clean condition. There are some surface marks and abrasions, mostly light and superficial, although some may be longer than 1.1/4 inches (1 inch = 2.5 centimeters)

(b)          The record is pressed on a beautiful, thick, inflexible vinyl, which was usually used for the first or very early pressings. Usually, the sound on such thick vinyl pressings is full-bodied, vivid, and even dramatic. Do not expect to obtain such a majestic analog sound from a digital recording!

(c)           The record has a "deep groove" (an indent in the label about 1/2-inch from the edge of the label, which on SOME labels is associated with very early or first pressings).

(d)          Of course, this is a full-bodied ANALOG recording, and not an inferior, digital recording!!!

(e)           Stereo copies of this album are NOT known to exist.
