Album Description
This second release in Eric's new oldies series makes a perfect companion to Volume 1. This volume has a more R&B & rockabilly flavor with 12 Top Twenty tracks again drawn mostly from the Roulette/Colpix/Warner Bros. vaults. And for collectors there are two songs appearing on CD for the first time! All recordings have been digitally mastered in ultra-high quality and are in true stereo wherever possible. Includes an 8-page booklet with detailed liner notes on each song.

Customer Reviews

Another outstanding volume in the series
Volume two, "I Got Rhythm" continues Eric Records' new series of tunes from the first decade of rock and roll. Many of the tracks here come from the Roulette, Colpix, Dimension and Jubilee labels and were once readily available on various Rhino and Sequel single-artist and compilation CD's. But with most of those pieces out-of-print, Eric has brought them back and added to these well-known tunes a sprinkling of rarities and even two new-to-CD songs. Appealing to the casual fan, top-10 favorites like the Happenings' "I Got Rhythm" and Lou Christie's "Two Faces Have I" share the spotlight with the seldom-found "I'm Blue" from the Ikettes and the Chicago Loop's "My Baby Comes To Me". Not neglecting the true collector, Eric has brought to CD-daylight the High Keys' move-over Doris Day version of "Que Sera, Sera" and "Don't Mention My Name" from the Shepherd Sisters, known for their big hit rendition of "Alone". As has come to be expected and always appreciated is Eric's attention to quality reproduction here exemplified by the use of the mono version of J.J. Jackson's "It's Alright", a track that has been issued in "stereo" on other CD's when in fact it has always been the remanufactured faux-stereo version. The tracks that do appear in true stereo here are 3,5,6,11,15,16 and 20. Rounding out the piece are the informative liner notes providing backround on the included artists and tracks. Once again, Eric shows how it should be done.

This Is Just Outstanding!
What can I say, except that it doesn't get any better than this. As with all of Eric's CDs, this one is flawless!

In addition to the tracks that we already have (but are now relegated to the obsolete pile by this CD), there are several tracks not found on any other domestic CDs, such as Don't Mention my Name by The Sheppard Sisters, Que, Sera, Sera by The High Keys, and (finally) a true mono version of the single, But It's Alright by J. J. Jackson, instead of the horrible re-channeled one that has appeared before.

The guys at Eric know how to do this sort of thing right, and we are the real winners in getting to listen to these hits the way they should be heard.

A wonderful CD! You owe yourselves a treat, and this is it!

Just one song can make a CD 5 stars worth!
The Eric label, as does ACE, stands for superb quality "oldies"
+ the fact that they "recuperate" songs or hits that might be
considered as completely "unknown" to the majority of us even
though one considers himself an expert of that era (1956-1965)
who lived through it and collected most of those good old 45's.
There's one song on this compilation that makes this CD worth
5 stars: "Top Forty, News, Weather And Sports" interpreted by
Mark Dining and written by the great John D. Loudermilk.
The music is fantastic and resumes every sound there was in the
early 60's: nice melody, female backing vocals, strings, up- tempo
rhythm and incredible lyrics. I had never heard this song
before but the lyrics made me decide to write this review because
it reminds me so much of the real facts that were happening back in 1961.
Lumumba was the "revolutionist" fighting
the Belgians in Congo, what to say about Fidel who celebrates
his 80th birthday today, Ike Eisenhower struggling with Kruschev
at the UN combined with the other crazy contents of these lyrics
that remind me more of a typical Ray Stevens song.
Thanks to Eric records there are some more "beauties" on this
Teen Time Vol 3 like Ninety Nine Ways, Morgen (a # 1 hit in
Europe then), The Way Of A Clown, And The Heavens Cried and last
but not least a song by Eddie Holland who still had to become
one of the greatest songwriters ever. I must admit that there
are quite some "newies" on this fantastic good old Rock & Roll
compilation!
