Throughout the late 1960's & early 1970's, Tommy James & The Shondells scored 14 Top 40 hits, most of which remain among the most eminently listen-able examples of pop/rock music, and sold more singles than any other pop act in the world, many of them written or co-written by Tommy James.

Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Bait and Switch?I am a big fan of Tommy James and the Shondells. Several of their songs were hits when I was listening to AM radio in the 1960's. Among their most memorable songs are "Crystal Blue Persuasion," "Crimson and Clover," "Hanky Panky," "Mony Mony" and "Sweet Cherry Wine."

I've got this album and Best of Tommy James And the Shondells. All tracks are all remakes and not originals. Purchasing one from Rhino Records will all have originals, if you're looking for original masters, purchase a Tommy James And The Shondells album by Rhino Records. Rating: - Warning to radio listenersWarning to radio listeners and fans of TJ & S from the 60s: This collection is not the original or familiar "hits" that you heard on the radio. If you desire to hear these, you will be more satisfied with another collection. On a positive note, if you are a collector, this is another version of the group's greatest hits. Rating:  - Birthday GiftI have been looking for the right present for my husband and I found this one. He grew up listening to this and when he pulled it out of the bag he was so excited. Even our son who is 5 years old loves the music. |
