Pretty short weight on this ten-track compilation of early-'60s material. After the title track, you get a few "Wimoweh" soundalikes, a couple of odd hot rod numbers that try to imitate the Beach Boys, and a version of "Sincerely" arranged to sound as much as possible like their first hit, "Tonight I Fell in Love." That hit, by the way, isn't here, as it wasn't recorded for RCA.
