| | Album Notes and Credits |
Notes & Personnel Info |  | The Four Seasons: Bob Gaudio (vocals, guitar); Frankie Valli (vocals); Tommy DeVito (guitar, background vocals); Nick Massi (bass guitar, background vocals). | | Audio Remasterers: Dave Schultz; Dan Hersch; Bill Inglot. | | Liner Note Author: Gene Sculatti. | | This entry in Rhino records' excellent retrospective series conducts a journey through the long and storied career of Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons, from their 1960s hits like "Big Girls Don't Cry" and "Walk Like a Man," to later 1970s successes with their inspired cover of Cole Porter's "I've Got You Under My Skin," the risqu?, coming-of-age song "December 1963 (Oh, What a Night)," and Frankie Valli's theme to the hit musical GREASE. | | Essentially an expanded version of Rhino's superb 2002 single-disc compilation The Very Best of Frankie Valli & the Four Seasons, Definitive Pop is an equally worthy two-disc collection bringing together all of Frankie Valli & the Four Seasons best-known songs as well as some lesser known cuts. This collection actually bests the previous version by including a few more excellent album tracks like "Silence Is Golden," "Marlena," and the group's excellent take on Maurice Williams & the Zodiacs' "Stay." Still, it's the hits most people are looking for and featured here are classics including "Sherry," "Big Girls Don't Cry" and "Dawn (Go Away), " as well as such Valli solo cuts as "Can't Take My Eyes Off You" and "Grease." While there are adequate budget-oriented compilations available, listeners looking for a well-rounded anthology of the Four Seasons material needn't look any further than Definitive Pop. ~ Matt Collar |

4 of 5 if you like the Four Seasons, you will love this Wednesday, October 11, 2006
Gary from baltimore, maryland
Let's face it, the Four Seasons are not to everyone's taste. Some people don't like Frankie Valli's falsetto, some people don't like the 4 part harmonizations, and some people just don't like the tunes and have never liked them since the British Invasion started to dominate U.S. rock/pop music shortly after the Beatles played on The Ed Sullivan Show. And even a fan like myself cannot play the two CDs straight through because it is like eating 20 desserts in a row. But, if you are not in the negative camp, then these tunes will seem like the apogee of the 2 and 1/2 minute AM radio singles era. In short, they really are miniature pop symponies. BTW, the remastering is excellent as is the stereo sound separation, so you can clearly hear the hand-clapping, keyboards, tambourine, as well the vocals. Was this review helpful?
