| | Album Notes and Credits |
Notes & Personnel Info |  | Also available as part of the deluxe box set WCBS-FM 101: THE MILLENNIUM'S GREATEST HITS VOLS. 1 & 2. | | Collectables' Rock & Roll's Greatest Hits, Vol. 2 is a 25-song collection of '50s and '60s oldies staples that leans heavily on the sound of doo wop and is seemingly thrown together without much thought as to pacing or flow. Luckily, the quality of songs is so high that the careless approach doesn't lessen the pleasure to be had from listening to classic tunes like the Four Seasons' "Sherry," the Angels' "'Til," the Marcels' "Blue Moon," and the Contours' "Do You Love Me." One might argue about the selection of Percy Faith's "Theme From a Summer Place" as one of rock & roll's greatest hits, but it is the only misstep. This disc is a reissue of a 1999 Collectables release titled The Millennium's Greatest Hits, Vol. 2: WOGL Oldies 98.1, so if you already have that one you don't need this. Anyone else looking for a decent collection of '50s and '60s hits might, though. ~ Tim Sendra | | It's difficult to make a connection between the music on Millennium Gold, Vol. 2 and the turning of the millennium, except that the compilation happened to be released around that time. Nevertheless, it's a pretty solid collection of oldies-radio staples that doesn't aim to draw a portrait of any specific kind of music, but rather to assemble a group of catchy, familiar songs in one place. Artists present include Fats Domino, Roy Orbison, the Marcels, the Shirelles, the Four Seasons, the Temptations, the Turtles, and Dionne Warwick, among others. ~ Steve Huey | | Collectables' Millennium Gold, Vol. 2: JMK collects hits by the Four Seasons, Fats Domino, the Shirelles, the Temptations, Roy Orbison, and the Turtles. An adequate sampler for anyone with a casual interest in oldies. ~ Heather Phares | | Another compilation heavy on '50s and '60s oldies-station favorites, all presented in nice transfers. The true stereo mixes -- "Oh, Pretty Woman," "Theme From 'A Summer Place,'" "Happy Together," "Remember Then" (perhaps a recut), "I Only Have Eyes for You," "Walk On By," "California Dreamin'" -- mix nicely with the clean mono mixes aboard. Like its companion volume, this makes perfect background party listening or a great disc to pop in your car's CD player. ~ Cub Koda | | Collectables' Millennium Gold, Vol. 2: WCBS collects hits by the Four Seasons, Fats Domino, the Shirelles, the Temptations, Roy Orbison, and the Turtles.
