Customer Reviews

Nice Try
This is not the original East Side Story Collection.More than 50% of the original songs were deleted.Some volumes barely contain one or two of the original tracks, while others are in fact the real deal and contain all the correct songs in the correct order. I do not wish to sound negative, I'm shure the people who made this compilation tried hard to get all the rights to the music, and for this I aplaude them. Althoe I wonder if maybe they should have waited to get the rights to Thee Midnighters songs, who's Cd was released around the same time.
If I was experiencing this for the first time I would have to say this is a great collection and would give it 4 or5 stars. The replacement songs are good enough to warrant there own volumes such as EAST SIDE STORY GOLD Vol,4,5,6, Etc;
In my defence I do own all 12 volumes on vinyl including East Side Story Gold Vol.1,2,and 3.

East Side Story, Vol. 1-12 [BOX SET] [LIMITED EDITION]
I grew up in Cypress Park (The Avenues) area of Los Angeles in the 50s and 60s. I'm a big fan of Doo Wop/Low Rider style music. I was excited about the "East Side Story Box" release. There is a lot of rare finds and standards in this box set. I was glad to finally get "Talk To Me" by Sunny & The Sunliners.

There are more great songs on these discs but some are obviously recorded from vinyl (surface noise, pops and clicks) or there are better recordings in other collections (the Doo Wop Box sets or the Vee-Jay Records Box set, etc.). The collection has a mix of early R&B and East L.A. favorites. I just wished they`d taken the time to get the best recordings possible.

Oldies and Reminenscing
If you are a true lover of oldies to cruise by, then this set is it. The set is well thought out and features the more popular songs which people can remeber. No wondering if you know that song here. An interesting addition to this set from the albums/cassettes is that some of the more current, 1980's, songs have been added onto each CD. This should help some of those newcomers to the scene feel comfortable about identifying with their cruiser days.
