Music reviews of 20th Century Masters: The Best of
Music Review: Hardly Her Best
Rating: 3 Stars
I have to agree with those reviewers who point out that this feeble effort from Disney hardly measures up in terms of offering her best selections.
From 1959 to 1961 she put ten songs into the Billboard Pop Hot 100, and here they give us all of three: Tall Paul, which was her best, going to # 7 early in 1959 on the Disneyland label; Train Of Love, a # 36 in summer 1960, along with its flipside, Tell Me Who's The Girl]; and Pineapple Princess, a # 11 in September 1960.
Left off this volume are her second- and fourth-best hits - O Dio Mio which reached # 10 in April 1960, and First Name Initial which hit the # 20 spot late in 1959. On that one, in fact, she did something The Beatles could not do - cross over to the R&B charts, reaching # 27. The flipside, My Heart Became Of Age, also charted at # 74 Hot 100.
Other missing hits are: Jo-Jo The Dog-Faced Boy [# 73 in May 1959]; Lonely Guitar [# 50 in August 1959]; Talk To Me Baby [# 92 in January 1961]; and Dream Boy [# 87 in February 1961]. On all her hits except Jo-Jo, Lonely Guitar, and O Dio Mio the records showed "Annette with The Afterbeats" and, except for Tall Pall, all her hits were released on Disney's Buena Vista label.
Amazon does offer another Annette compilation from Disney, a 2-CD set under the title: Annette: a Musical Reunion with America's Girl Next Door [ASIN B00000EJUJ]. Even that one, however, comes up a bit short in that it does not include Talk To Me Baby, nor several of the B-sides of her hits.
I have what is likely the best Annette compilation on the market today, in terms of her hits, entitled Annette's Scrapbook - The 31 Greatest Hits Of Annette. This was released by Silhouette Music on SM CD 10011. Even here, however, they do not give you Talk To Me Baby nor Dream Boy (but inexplicably do provide the uncharted flipsides I Love You Baby and Please, Please Signore). Two other B-sides omitted are Love Me Forever (b/o Jo-Jo), and Luau Cha-Cha-Cha (b/o Pineapple Princess).
So it would seem that finding the definitive Annette "best of" remains impossible until, that is, Disney allows someone like Bear Family, Ace of London, or Eric Records to put together a proper compilation.
