 (8 Customer Reviews)
A doo wop vocal group from the Pittsburgh area, the Vogues started well in the mid-'60s with "You're the One," an infectious bit of folk-rock with enough of a British Invasion feel to earn it heavy play on AM radio. "Five O'Clock World" was an even better single, a two-minute blast of timeless release, chronicling the feel of getting off work with the whole night still ahead, that one instant when everything is a possibility and the future has not yet arrived with its schedule of deadlines and pressures. Few pop songs have ever caught that moment with more élan or conviction. Unfortunately "Five O'Clock World" was to be a high-water mark for the Vogues, and although they enjoyed more chart success during the 1960s, particularly with their biggest seller, the ultraromantic "No, Not Much," they never really built a distinctive body of work. This set from Rhino combines their early singles for Co & Ce Records with the later work from Warner Brothers Records in an effective overview of the band's history. It's the best single disc of the Vogues out there, and really has everything you need, including that little miracle of a song, "Five O'Clock World." ~ Steve Leggett
Live Recording Vogues Greatest Hits Songs Greatest Hits Music Review Average Rating: (4.4 out of 5 stars)   List All Reviews Good Music...
The Vogues had hits in two different styles: the upbeat "Five o'Clock World", "You're the One" presentations that introduced them to success in the mid-60s and their reinvention as a Lettermen/Four Lads-type harmony group at the end of the decade. Both get their due respect here.
(Check out Leonard Cohen's "Hey, That's No Way to Say Goodbye", BTW -- makes one wish they'd done more of the Association's type of songs and arrangements.)

Vogues - I keep it on "repeat".
Excellent. Love listening to the harmonization. Big Band sound - all the way.

Quite good. The outstanding tracks being "5 O'Clock World" and Turn Around Look At Me". Pity a few more weren't in the same class.

Would buy it again.
I enjoy the "Greatest Hits". I especially like the second half of the CD. Oh, the inside comments were a lot of fun to read.

A group from the mid-sixties that made some really good records. This CD is all you need if you want all their hits. You will really enjoy this if you are a Vogues fan which I am.

The definitive Jay & the Americans collection, Come a Little Bit Closer: The Best of Jay & the Americans, collects the highlights of the band's career with each of its lead singers, Jay Traynor and Jay Black. Traynor was the voice behind the group's first big hit, 1962's "She Cried," as well as singles like "Dawning," the melody of which cleverly mimics Edvard Grieg's "Morning Mood" and a laid-back version of "Tonight" ...

The second installment of the Hard to Find 45's series is, like the first, a wide assortment of Top 40 hits, some of them indeed very hard to find on CD or even hear on the radio. Some of them are not really that hard to find on CD, though this disc (like every one in this series) takes pains to present original 45 RPM single versions, often in stereo. Whereas the first volume was devoted to material from 1955-1960, this goes into the next era (1961-1964), and though it's pretty pop-inclined, there's a good deal of diversity. There's doo wop verging on soul by the Stereos ("I Really Do Love You," the Flares' ...

Throughout much of the '70s, Bachman-Turner Overdrive practically defined meat-and-potatoes style hard rock. Co-leader Randy Bachman seemed to have settled into an elder statesman role, producing and guesting on sessions for young up-and-coming Canadian bands. Any Road - backed by a pair of young pups on bass and guitar - marks his first solo venture in many a year. As a vocalist, Bachman makes one yearn for the return of Fred Turner. Let's be kind and call it a limited instrument, but one used to its peak potential on the nostalgic "Prairie Town," offered here in acoustic and electric versions. The acoustic take makes best use of guests Margo Timmins (Cowboy Junkies) and Neil Young, and is Any Road's one essential moment. ~ Roch Parisien
Born in Winnipeg, Canada, Randy Bachman has become a legendary figure in the rock and roll world through his talents as a guitarist, songwriter, performer and producer. He has earned over 120 Gold and Platinum album/singles awards around the world for performing and producing. His songwriting has garnered him the coveted #1 spot on radio play lists in over 20 countries and he has amassed over 40 million records sold. His songs have been recorded by numerous other artists and placed in dozens of television, movie and commercial soundtracks. His music has provided a veritable soundtrack of the last thirty years of popular music. He first scored Billboard radio chart success with his band The Guess Who in 1965 performing the song Shakin' All Over. After this initial success it would be another few years before the glare of the ...
