The second album by
the Four Seasons
issued in 1963 (and their fourth in less than a year) shows the group stretched a little thin. And, of course, in those days, before
the Beatles
shook up the
pop
music industry, albums were a different story than what they became, especially from record companies that were starting to struggle for air, as
Vee-Jay Records
was -- "get 12 tracks together and get it out there" was the usual philosophy from which most
pop
LPs started, so it's understandable if this would be less than impressive by modern standards. Four of the strongest songs here,
"Candy Girl,"
"Marlena,"
"New Mexican Rose,"
and the title track all appeared on singles in 1963 and are available elsewhere on various hits collections; and the other great performance on the album,
Maurice Williams
'
"Stay,"
would also be released as a single by
Vee-Jay
early in 1964. The rest varies from their
calypso
-like cover of the
Clyde McPhatter
song
"Honey Love"
to comic-
novelty
pieces (
"Dumb Drum"
), little of it distinguished musically.
"Melancholy"
is the one production that reaches the standard of the group's earlier work. In its defense, the
Curb Records
CD reissue has good sound and recreates the original cover. ~ Bruce Eder, All Music Guide
