Confidential Doo Wop

Vol. 10

Einstein #’s 510
Barcode: None

Review first published: 01.09.2002

Once again another in the Confidential Doo Wop series. Like the first nine in the series, a good mix of from the early 50’s through the mid 60’s. These collectors have found some great gems to share with us. All the rhythms & styles of vocal group harmony are encompassed in this series. Volume #10 is no exception. I believe you will find this volume as entertaining as the others in the series.

Here now are the 28 tracks for Confidential Doo Wop Volume #10.

So let’s now, see what is offered us in this volume.

1. Cause I Love You – Capitals (s/b Capitols) ’58 Pet $400 (Good Rockin’ to open the CD with) play

2. A Sweet Dream – Frank Harris ’62 Mab-Jab $150 (Pretty ballad)

3. No Secret Now – Darla Hood & Rocketeers ’57 Encino (Scorchin’Ballad by Ms Darla!)

4. What Do You Do When – Gary Lane & Madlads ’63 Cu Ca (A real TOE CURLER here!) play

5. Delores My Darling (s/b Dolores Darlin’) – Terry Clinton & Berry Cups ’59 Khourys (Nudder ballad here! Weak!)

8. Wouldn’t Be Goin’ Steady – Roulettes ’59 Scepter $500 (Heavy price for these Young Ladies! Ballad)
