"It would take forever to locate these in mint shape on old vinyl. For this reason alone, this is an excellent find of old Jimmy Darren songs. How wonderful to hear them without the scratches from my old 45s! I searched for years to find a copy of "Gegetta" from "Gidget Goes To Rome", and here it is. Remember "Because They're Young"? And "Gidget Goes Hawaiian" and "Wild About That Girl"? Both of these are from the movie, "Gidget Goes Hawaiian" with James Darren and the late Deborah Walley. These are great tunes, from an era when Jimmy was singing on the Colpix label, he even was featured on the old Donna Reed episode once. He guest-starred one week and Shelley Fabares fell for him in the story! He played a singing star that came to town, got ill and was doctored by Mary Stone's Dad, the Doctor. He even stayed at their home, hidden from all the teenage girls in town (Mary's friends). The old Colpix label had a lot of hits at a time when life was simple, when the Mouseketeers were on TV, when we hung out at the malt shops, and you knew you were in love when you had your boyfriend's class ring on a chain around your neck! These songs will take you there. It's not for everyone, but if you remember Ricky Nelson, Bobby Vee and Annette and Frankie, this one needs to be in your collection. It's a great find."

"being a fan of all the gidget movies and james darren in both acting and singing.i have found this disc of classic darren songs refreshing and inspiring.inspite of buying the cd soley for the gidget songs songs at first i found this entire disc to be upbeat,simple and down right all around feel good kind of disc.james darren with his great teen idol voice and his somewhat happy and teenage type songs has made it into my daughters 7 year old heart.although she likes all the other bands of now like britany and 98 degrees etc..she totally enjoys this darren classic..the songs are a lot more simple and easy to enjoy..unlike alot of the music of today..inspite the 60s being turbulant it did bring out some songs that are truly just about the innocense of being a teen and not all about doom and gloom and sex and violence..to mr darren i say..thank you and that one is from my heart thanks for bringing classic songs over to the millinium"

Teenage Tears-- Cheers

"If you're a James Darren fan, then this CD is for you. It has 32 of his songs on one CD. It's really a good listen. I highly recommend it.
