Girl groups have come and gone over the years, but the Crystals’ name, along with the Ronettes, has become synonymous with the groundbreaking early-sixties wave promoted by producer Phil Spector.
As well as including some of their early recordings, the songs featured here on this 180g vinyl set retain their period charm thanks to what one critic called the Crystals’ ‘sweet-but-streetwise vocal magic’.
File the music under Brill Building, Girl-Group Pop or whatever you choose, it wears its half a century of history lightly.
