CD ReviewsNice 60s Re-recordings Thomas Bumbera | Maplewood, NJ USA | 03/29/2006 (4 out of 5 stars) "Although not noted by other reviewers, this is a reissue of the early-60s Epic re-recordings of Her Nibs' Mercury hits from the 50s. Miss Gibbs was still in fine voice, but if you want the originals you must seek out the Mercury compilation (apparently out-of-print? How can this be?). The bonus tracks are singles in the early-60s girl group mould, and it is fascinating to hear how easily this veteran (25 years as a pro when these sides were cut!) adapted to a contemporary sound. Gibbs gets a bad rap for "stealing royalties" from R&B artists because she covered their songs, blah-blah-blah. Blame Mercury and her producers of the period; many, many white artists covered R&B in the mid-50s, but LaVern Baker made a "cause celebre" out of Gibbs' (excellent) cover of "Tweedle Dee," unfairly so." 2 Great Songs Missing Warakhom Liangpandh | 03/09/2006 (3 out of 5 stars) "It's a pity that "Seven Lonely Days" and "Kiss Me Another" do not appear in this item. These two songs are best known in Thailand."
