Editorial Reviews

Album Description
* This popular series returns to its roots for a final hurrah - gone are the Debbie Reynolds, Rosemary Clooneys and Doris Days of the last volume and in come the glittering teen goddesses of the Brill Building/Phil Spector era.

* The girl group genre remains one of the most collectable in the reissue market and this compilation must rank as one of the strongest in the series and on the market as a whole since it mops up a lot of scarce lesser hits as well as some better known ones.

* Compilers Rob Finnis and Trevor Churchill have gone to great lengths to bring you those missing links and 13 of the titles on Volume 5 are new to CD with two (by the Chantels and Patty Lace) being released in stereo for the first time.

* Fabulous cover art plus sleeve notes by Rob Finnis and a sound quality second to none.

* Missed any of the previous volumes? They are all still in catalogue:
Volume 1 - CDCHD 608
Volume 2 - CDCHD 657
Volume 3 - CDCHD 775
Volume 4 - CDCHD 1045

Customer Reviews

These Girls Should not be Forgotten5
I had purchased the previous volumes in this series and was rather disappointed with Volume 4 (only 4 decent tracks in my opinion). However, the review (and the fact that Diane Renay's "Navy Blue" was on it) was encouragement enough for me to make this purchase. WOW!! What a great disc! ACE really do a great job with these, the booklet is so informative, the back cover with the Billboard placings just brilliant and the pictures of records and artists prove ACE's compilers dedication is way beyond usual expectations. Then there is the music. From the opening track, Andrea Carroll's "It Hurts to be Sixteen" I knew I was in for a treat. Given I had only ever heard 4 of the 28 tracks before, I was astounded by the quality of most of the other 24, and was amazed at their poor showing on the Billboard Charts. If only most of these had been released in Australia!!. I really enjoy this type of music and full credit to ACE for making these songs available. Not sure if there will be a Volume 6, but I will keep watching. GREAT STUFF.

The sleeve loses this one a star4
What a great pity about the rather grotesque sleeve which looks like a set of binge drinkers and is nowhere near representative of the contents when girls tended to look more feminine.
There's got to be something wrong with people who want to portray this time of the 60s this way but whatever-its nice to see so much high school pop this time.
In an ideal world Patti Lace & the Petticoats would have been as bigger than the Shangri Las even though this song is no more than a copy of them.Really a non existent group made up of members of 2 others Gemm lists about half a dozen singles by a group called the Petticoats who may or may not be connected.The track was once included on a vinyl album called Where the girls are and the sleeve of this album would have looked better
