Description
The Cadillacs - THE FABULOUS CADILLACS is a 1957 Mono Original LP release on the blue Jubilee label # JLP 1045.
The Cadillacs' first album was actually like a greatest-hits compilation (leaving aside the fact that they'd had only one hit) drawing from the singles they'd released up to that point, and not material recorded specifically for LP release. That hit, "Speedoo," is included here, naturally, as are 11 other tracks found on various A-sides and B-sides of 1954-1957 7" releases. Heard on its own, though, it impresses as an above-average early rock & roll LP, even if for the average listener "Speedoo" is always going to dwarf anything else the group did. "Zoom" is certainly a fun if prototypical uptempo early doo wop stomp, and "Down the Road," "No Chance," and "Sugar Sugar" aren't far behind in that regard. Such fun if somewhat formulaic fast tunes were their definite strong point, though "Wishing Well" demonstrates they had a respectable way with a ballad. The production throughout has that flashpoint of R&B, a hint of jazz, and a trace of pop that defined much early New York vocal group rock & roll.
The jacket shows very light wear on the front, back & top edge; wear on the corners & bottom edge; small tear on the bottom, right corner of the front; small tears on the mouth edge of the back; and a 3" split on the bottom edge. The record is in VG+ condition.
