 Tommy James and The Shondells are best remembered as a singles band.

And, much like we did with our recent Jan & Dean collection, we are bringing you the original single versions, not the remixed versions you find on most collections. In fact, the first 15 tracks are in their original mono, almost all of which have NEVER come out on CD!...full text |

Collector's Choice Music has scored an exclusive with the first comprehensive hits package to include all of Tommy James' singles with the Shondells and as a solo artist. The 40th Anniversary Singles Collection was approved by James and carefully assembled to include every one of his A-Sides from his work on six different labels. Release is set for November 25.
The company has also kept collectors in mind by assembling some rarities on the album. The very first track is the original, slower version of Hanky Panky as released on the Snap label and is followed by 14 more original singles, all in glorious mono. Some songs like I Think We're Alone Now and Somebody Cares include extra vocal overdubs not heard on the more standard stereo versions....full text |
