Music reviews of Capitol Collectors Series: The Four Preps

Music Review: The Four Preps had incredible talent--they were all THAT good !!!
Rating: 5 Stars

The Four Preps had an incredible sound; I love to listen to their music! These guys could harmonize and sing perfectly, making it all look so simple every time. Bruce Belland and Glen Larson wrote songs, too, including ""26 Miles (Santa Catalina)" and "Big Man" which are both on this disc. Of course, we know it really wasn't all that simple--their talents carried them through. Sure, it might have been nice to have "Calcutta" on this disc, but what we do get is nothing but very high quality control music. In addition, the quality of the sound on this CD is excellent and I like that artwork, too.

The album begins with great music and that continues all the way through to the end! "Dreamy Eyes," a relatively early chart hit from 1957, has The Four Preps singing wonderfully; the music fits in perfectly with their singing and "Dreamy Eyes" leaves nothing to be desired--this music is all THAT good. "26 Miles (Santa Catalina)," their first million-seller from 1958, is certainly easy on the ears; that percussion, guitar and the whistling in the background help make this a terrific tune. "Big Man" is awesome; and The Four Preps sing a very romantic rendition of "Lazy Summer Night" from the MGM movie entitled "Andy Hardy Comes Home." "Summertime Lies" has a beautiful musical arrangement and I really like "Cinderella" from the film "Gidget."

"I Ain't Never" has even more fine harmonizing and a fine musical beat; and there's another fine gem in "Down by the Station (Early in the Morning)." Listen also for The Four Preps to do a great job on "Got a Girl," too. The "More Money for You and Me" live medley is comical; although those lyrics are not too friendly toward some others it was really just in fun.

"Seine" has The Four Preps harmonizing faultlessly; they sound so good I can't imagine them ever sounding better! There's also the "Big Draft" playful medley that brings a smile to my face; and I really like "Charmaine." "Charmaine" has beautiful tempo and key changes to make this a real standout; and there's yet another awesome tune, "Letter to the Beatles." I love it!

"I've Known You All My Life" is a charmer that I could listen to over and over again; the musical accompaniment is just right--wisely, the music never tries to steal the show away from The Four Preps' vocals--their singing is right there in the spotlight. "I'll Never Be the Same" has fine piano playing and with that percussion and drums this is very special; and "Girl in the Shade of the Striped Umbrella" has that '60s easy listening flavor to it with The Four Preps singing this without ever letting go of a superfluous note! "Let's Call It a Day Girl" is another tune with a strong, terrific beat; and "Love of the Common People" features The Four Preps at their usual very best. The album ends with The Four Preps performing "Draft Dodger Rag;" this tune makes a statement with some comedy and it has a beat so infectious you won't forget it anytime soon!

The Four Preps gave us so much to enjoy even to this day. This album is a must-have for their fans and anyone discovering The Four Preps would do well to get this album, too.
