Frankie Avalon CD
$ 16.98
Frankie’s late-‘50s/early-‘60s recordings practically define an era in pop music. But while there have been countless reissues of his much-loved Chancellor hits, his later recordings have had sand kicked in their face when it comes to the CD era...including many performances that offer solid evidence of Frankie's blossoming maturity as a vocalist. That's why Real Gone Music is releasing Frankie Avalon: Muscle Beach Party—The United Artists Sessions—20 tracks recorded in 1964 and 1965. The centerpiece of the set is Frankie's album, Muscle Beach Party and Other Movie Songs, which features fresh versions of songs from Beach Party and Muscle Beach Party films (notably, a dynamite version of "Runnin' Wild," his spotlight solo in the latter movie) and superb renditions of "Days of Wine and Roses," "Moon River" and other Hollywood standards, all in stereo. In addition, we've included his rare UA singles—"New Fangled, Jingle Jangle Swimming Suit from Paris," "Here to Stay," "Don't Make Fun of Me" and "Every Girl Should Get Married"—plus his tracks from the soundtrack of I'll Take Sweden, a Bob Hope comedy in which Frankie co-starred. The missing piece of Frankie’s recording legacy, with notes and photos!
