VA - Girls Will Be Girls, Vol 1 (1999) Free & Full Download

GirlsWill Be Girls, Vol. 1 is for collectors whose interest in 1960s girlgroups has taken them beyond hits into the realm of demos, obscurities,and previously unreleased material. The recordings, made between1962-1966, are drawn from a number of labels such as Colpix, Dimension,Roulette, Jubilee, and DynoVoice. The Jewels But I Do is the solechart hit, having peaked at a lofty number 130 in 1965. The Tammys,Diane Renay, and the Bobbettes will be familiar to many listeners, whileJessica James (aka Peggy Santiglia) may not be well known on her ownbut was the lead singer of the Angels. An obscure hitless group calledthe Boyd Sisters steal the show with their dramatic renditions ofangst-ridden teen ballads like I Cant Wait (Till I Grow Up). TheBarry Sisters show that they could make passable 60s-style girl grouprecords, and Marie Applebee delivers -- in master and demo versions --the bizarre The Boy Who Took My Heart (Took My Mind). The centerpiecefor collectors may be the three cuts from the long-lost demonstrationtape that got the Esxxx signed to Roulette Records. The recordings onGirls Will Be Girls, Vol. 1, commercial failure notwithstanding, wereheld to high production standards and masterminded by talented people,so fans of the genre will find much of interest.
