Description
The 4 Seasons were and are one of the greatest vocal groups in the history of pop music, and their music has been plentifully available since the "dawn" (pun intended) of the CD reissue era. But there remains a very large gap in their catalog: their original albums have NEVER been available on CD in their original mono mixes! Which really makes no sense; not only were most consumers buying and listening to mono albums during the early and mid '60s, when the bulk of The 4 Seasons' album catalog was released, but also the mono mixes were what the group and its producer Bob Crewe concentrated on and approved. Now, Real Gone Music is embarking on a monorail, er, monaural ride through the 4 Seasons album catalog, releasing the original mono album mixes on CD in chronological order, all taken from tape, and housed inside mini LP sleeves with old-style, "tip on" printing that replicates the original album art all the way down to the original Vee Jay logos. And wrangling the album session tapes for us? The one and only Bill Inglot, who has been working with the 4 Seasons catalog for years (and the master was approved by Bob Gaudio himself)! Next up is their legendary Christmas album, which hit the charts three times, once in 1963 when it came out as The 4 Seasons Greetings and again in 1966 and 1967 when it was reissued as The 4 Seasons' Christmas Album. This one's the original through and through, from the art to the track list. Limited edition of 2000!
