专辑介绍

by Greg Adams

The Raindrops came about by accident, as an ad hoc studio group created when Dimension Records decided to release the demo recording of &What a Guy,& written and performed by Brill Building songwriters Ellie Greenwich and Jeff Barry. The &group& went on to chart several hits, the biggest being &The Kind of Boy You Can't Forget,& all of which created a Phil Spector-esque girl group sound by multi-tracking Greenwich's vocals. For personal appearances, the duo conscripted various friends and relatives to create the illusion of a trio, but the recordings were strictly studio-bound affairs. Aside from the hits, the Raindrops recorded a number of Barry/Greenwich songs written for other girl groups (the Crystals' &Da Doo Ron Ron,& Bob B. Soxx & the Blue Jeans' &Not Too Young to Get Married&) and an early recording of &Hanky Panky,& which later would be successfully revived by Tommy James & the Shondells. The Raindrops is a reissue of the group's original Jubilee album with eight bonus tracks that accounts for all of their hits and, in fact, all but three of their Jubilee recordings. A British CD, The Complete Raindrops, has the three strays for completists, but most buyers will be satisfied with The Raindrops.
